news

as another prize of the Design a Deviant Contest i got my own personal news article today
Pica Who? Pica-ae! by 2dazed
i feel a bit embarrassed :blushes: and it's abit scary that quite a lot people faved the article. no, they loved it :giggle:
anyway, that is pretty cool and i just wanted to thank Christie for all her awesome prizes and the other prizes she gathered for the competition. til now it was the one with the most fun and thrill in it!

thank you Christie :rose: :hug: (and you do a great job as GM)

as far as my last Journal is considered...

i decided to give the new easy install feature a go :w00t:
after coding a journal css for kornfan16099 this morning it's the one is using at the moment, he was so fast :yum:), i was so in a run, that i made 2 new journals!
:pointl: the one you can see round here :pointr:
and another, more advanced one, with fancy sidebars and a custom blockquote template.

AND, as if trying out the new skin thing isn't enough, i even coded them all in the new gruze! :dance:
it was a fight but i got it now :phew:
the title section is really weird in the new version and a  lot of things just get a display:none tag :|
but, i can say that i can handle it now. which doesn't mean, that i will update all my previous journal css's... if i should ever win 1 Million € somewhere i might possibly do that. and i'd quit my job to become a freelancer. but that is a diferent story.

in other news: i got 2 new records :eager:

yesterday in ma lunch break i got to buy the new Green Day "21st Century Breakdown" and the new Manic Street Preachers "Journal For Plague Lovers
They are both fantastic! Really.

in more details:

i would say, that Green Day has not developed a lot from the last album. that is not a bad thing. but they have gotten more melodic and theatralic. which is great. more passionate, what is actually hard compared to "American Idiot" which was very passionate already. BUT what is most striking is probably the way Billie Joe sings, it is just amazing. he seems to push his voice into totally new and unexpected was. Fantastic. See i love this Album :love: Rocky, melodic and real. :horns:

ok, Manic Street Preachers... as pathetic as always. highly philosophical lyrics and titles. a bit weird if you don't know them. and weirder that lately. Surprisingly the lyrics were all written by Richey Edwards... yep, that guy who just disappeared in the early 90s ('93 ? i am not sure and don't want to look it up) so they mainly used ole lyrics for the new album. well, you can do that. that's ok.
i am not as amazed by this one (compared to Green Day) but somehow their songs are a bit more catchy. maybe tha's just because i soooo love James Voice :love: it's as simple as that. and he's cute :yum:

oh, aren't the 2 bands lead singer names weird but kinda related?
Billie Joe Armstrong and James Dean Bradfield
well, James Dean is still the good option , when his father's first idea was Clint Eastwood as first names... lol
