a trip with the family!
so yesterday my parents decided on our "family trip" for the summer. in case you don't know, i usually detest family trips ... i haven't gone on a "family trip" in years. i guess you could mark last year's trip to korea as a "family trip minus dad," but then again i was pretty much allowed to do whatever i wanted when i was in seoul, so i guess it's not much of a family trip.
it's not that i don't like my family ... but when i'm in a new place, i like to wander around by myself and immerse my self in the city. i don't really like sightseeing ... i like to watch people move around more.
in any case, we're going to europe. we're hitting up brussels, luxembourg, amsterdam, prague, vienna, paris, (some place in) switzerland, etc. typical things.
of course it hit me that i'm entirely too obsessed with tabulas when my first thoughts were "damnit how am i going to work on tabulas." but then i realized that i could take my craptop to europe and work on the trains/planes/hotels. YES! EAT THAT! maybe if i can jack someone's wireless card and find some cafe in paris with free wireless ... i wish i knew c++ or c so i could write a quick program that would detect a wireless connection. well, it's not a big deal in any case. i'll just do all the work in europe and then upload when i get back.
the more i think about it, the more excited i am ... i can finally take out my camera and take some PPEEEEECTTTUUURRREEESSS. it's been a while (man, i think film from korea is still loaded in the camera!), but i'll get my parents to pay for the film. mwahahahaha.
i also got a kickass 256mb usb pen drive yesterday as a gift. it frickin kicks butt and it's something i actually never realized that i needed; i can quickly transfer stuff between my craptop and the desktop here without having to wire the craptop to the internet (we have no router/hub/switch). YES!
2fast2furious was pretty hot. but they really demphasized the cars in this one. i mean, they had so many and they never even talked about the cars; they just wrecked them and then brought on more cars. it was a totally different style of movie than the first; i can't decide which was better. i liked the plotline to the second one better, but the cars seemed nicer in the first one (supra, baby!).

i totally disaggree with your opinion on 2Fast2Furious. I totally digged the original (the Fast and the Furious) and i went into the cinema with high hopes. Unfortunately from the first scene my interest started to drop 'coz the car chase was hard to follow. anyway, my point is even though i didn't realli like it, it's still affected me i started working on a scale Nissan Skyline model straight after. i realli dig those underbody neon glow systems and i'm wondering if that could be recreated on my model version using materials readily at hand.

i'm thinking about what you could lock up, but there aint much. if u lock up too much, people won't use tabulas.
i was thinking instead of locking things up per se, you could make more stuff. right now, you've got about the same stuff as all the other centralized places (pictures, templating, blogrings, etc). you need to come up with stuff to make tabulas even better. i'm not sure right now what you could add, but i'll think about it.
and good job with everything. i told my friend about it when she asked me to help her with her xanga. she said it's a lot easier to use.
keep up the good work, and ask if u need any help

you're such a tease, allen. roy, i think you should let users named "PubertY2K" have 5000 pictures.

Perhaps I can do some sort of "phase" thing. E.g. people who're just starting out get 75 images free, and every few months after that, you can add 75 more images until you reach 225 images, from where you'll have to pay.
or maybe i'll just do a two-tier 75 to 150 image ... and then you have to pay after that.
hrm.
