the dreaming tree

so, i’m re-doing the site. which of course means that tonight i spent a lot of time on it, and then will leave it like this for about a month before i get the wherewithal to spend more time that should be spent elsewhere. especially for a blog that no one reads, right? but i want to be satisfied with it, so i won’t rest…wait…yeah, i’ll rest, but i’ll remain unsatisfied until i’m satisfied. heh.

and the promise…i am actually working on a real post. yes, it’s true. check back if you care.

here’s some fun:

randomly achieved movie soundtrack for my life.

So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes for me)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool..
