Saturn in his prime
I’m getting over the fact that the world is a [url=http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20021214]pretty dismal place.
My Gemini sister has called, on an average of three times a day for the last three days, at work, on the cell phone, leaving me a voice mail, beeping me, “Where [i]ARE[/i] you?”
There’s an advantage to walking in a downtrodden state. Twice I found bright, shiny pennies, face up. Not that I’m superstitious, but that’s supposed to be good luck. I knew I should’ve checked the mailbox.
For one reason or another, I wound up over yonder from here, and I decided to walk home. Middle of the afternoon, belly full of [i]Mi Madres[/i] “Ricky’s Special,” bright afternoon sun just starting to dip in the winter the sky, and I was angling for Jo’s and Amy’s, something to make the rest of the evening go a little smoother.
I exchanged cash for a cup of Jo’s coffee. The best barista in Austin: Sagittarius. There, sitting at the counter, hiding behind her sweatshirt hood, with only merry eyes peeking out, was a familiar [url=http://www.clownsnack.com/]friend. Gemini, in case you’re wondering. With her Virgo buddy. Both of them, amusingly enough, were running down Sagittarius males as romantic possibilities. I couldn’t agree more – it’s configuration in the chart, see….
Those girls were making plans and scams for later in the evening. “We were just sitting here, thinking that you’d walk by and look, here you are!”
I spent the latter portion of the afternoon with their company. Those girls were drinking Lone Star and Tecate, and me supping on my coffee. They looked just like two, bright shiny pennies.
Got home, finally feeling just a little bit more refreshed.
I got to tweaking, as my new-found revelations about style sheets led to better design understanding and so forth. Had a couple of near misses, [url=http://www.astrofish.net/test.shtml]here and [url=http://www.astrofish.net/test3.shtml]here.
I figure the least common denominator should be AOL on Windows 98. Current design works fast enough on a dialup connection. That’s all I’m worried about. Best be on version 5.0 or better.
While I was setting up the ads, I discovered a surprise about one banner affiliate. [url=http://www.tshirthell.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=kramerw]T-shirt Hell sales quotes are looking good. Their [url=http://www.astrofish.net/xadverts.html]banner ad seems to be working pretty well. Biggest problem? Finding one of their banners’ that’s not too offensive. The last month’s commissions are equal to almost half of the server bill for this site.
The rest of the ads are served on the affiliate site. That means it’s no load here.
