I feel accomplished. It's the minor victories that make me so happy. Today, I completely designed and coded (almost completely) the new client login page for my company ... the kicker is that I did it entirely in CSS! Yeah baby. I am sooooo rocking the CSS house. Not that I will be lying on my deathbed saying, "Holy fasheezie, I'll always remember the time I rocked the CSS house and coded like batman on xtc." But it's my own personal victory since I am completely self-taught. That's right folks - no one gets to take this design accomplishment away from me. It's the stuff I do on my own that makes me smile :-). And seriously, after researching 8 hours straight on Thursday, this little victory feels earned. (FYI for the non-geek-savvy, CSS means that the web page you're looking at has barely any code... therefore loads super fast - it's "clean code". The Mr. Clean of spotless, clean code. The xtra-whitening of whiter teeth code. The Superman to Lois's code. The glow sticks to raves' code. The sopheava to Margaret's code. Want me to keep going? I can keep this up all night...).
After a somewhat abbreviated stint at Martini Blu for a cocktail, I went to the hairdresser for a haircut. Not that anyone will really notice - it's just thinned out and layered to the n'th. Tried out a new place in the IDS (for the out of towners, it's the tallest building in Minneapolis - also known as the "Mary Tyler Moore throws her hat up in the air whilst on the escalator" building). "Katy", my hairdresser, was very cool. She had and told me about her bad dye job and fucked up bangs, but I didn't hold it against her. She did a great job. Rocco Altobelli is the name of the joint.
On the way home I picked up the movies Sylvia and Intolerable Cruelty. No particular reason. I knew Sylvia would be dark but Gwyneth's movies intrigue me. Dark also intrigues me. I thoroughly enjoyed it however, I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone else. Not too many people's cup of tea, so to speak. I picked up Intolerable Cruelty because Joelle made some vague reference to it being a chick flick in a past post. Hell, if it's good enough for her it's good enough for me. I will review that one tomorrow night.
And now the big news - its been *almost* 24 hours and no eye twitch. Woo hoo! If I could, I would be doing back flips. Instead, I'll just have another sip of my martini. Hee hee.
Happy Friday ya'll.
