I’m too ambitious when it comes to this site. Or maybe I’m just too much of a slacker.

So I’m in the process of uploading an episode to start off rotations again. But I also want to get a new video game section started, and start figuring out how to get an “extra information” section up, with international names of the show and stuff like that. And I want to make the entire site standards-compliant (as in, coded in valid HTML and CSS–I’m well-versed in both now, but when I put together this template 2 1/2 years ago, I really wasn’t, and the code’s really getting on my nerves now), and maybe someday convert it over to PHP, so I don’t have to change 50 individual pages to make some minor change to the menu or disclaimer or something.

And I just had the idea of turning the PoDW dictionary into an encyclopedia/lexicon type of section. Better organized, more in-depth information…

*sigh*

At least I’ve graduated, so I actually have more time for this stuff…though I’m still trying to find a job (well, I MIGHT have one in the next week, if things go well, but I really don’t want to jinx myself)…

I forgot to post about this–I now own one of the Pizza Hut PoDW cups! The Maelstrom one, and the cap has the Compass on it–with a hole in the top, so you can string some string through it and wear it around your neck. SO COOL. I’ve heard about these but never saw a photo before. I’ll have to take a photo (or five) and post it/them online soon.

And when we were driving to a New Years party (my parents, grandmother, brother, and me), we were trying to find the house, and my mom pointed one out, and my brother went, “No, that’s not it–it has dark w–” and broke off for some reason (he meant to say dark windows). And, of all people, my dad (the one I least expected to say it) goes, “Dark water–Pirates of Dark Water!”

I had to immediately go, “You said it, not me!” so he wouldn’t try to accuse me of being overly obsessed with it or something. 😛 But still, that’s awesome–I’ve inundated my family in Star Wars and PoDW long enough that it’s now stuck for good. That, coupled with Mom seeing a candle a couple of years ago with Princess Jasmine from Aladdin on it and asking me if that was “my girl, that Pirates of Dark Water girl”…whee. 😀
