This is a momentous occasion for Remixx.net: I’ve made a new layout (yes, myself!)… Click here to change your skin to the new default skin, Breathe On Me. I’m really feeling the colors on this layout; the metallic blue feel to it reminds me of winter. In addition to the new layout, I’ve organized a portfolio page with a lot of my past layouts/graphics from the past year. I really only made it to shut the people up that said that I was untalented because I bought a lot of layouts recently. I hope you all like the portfolio and the new layout, and don’t forget to leave a comment.

In my offline life, I’ve gone movie crazy. I think it’s unhealthy how addicted I am to movies. Over the past week, I’ve seen Catwoman (which I blogged about on the 25th), I Robot, Old School (on HBO), The Bourne Supremecy, and The Bourne Identity (on HBO). I think the Bourne movies were amazing, and everyone should go see them. Now I know why they’ve done so well at the box office… watching them is like a roller coaster ride. It’s so action packed! I sound like a commercial, don’t I? I was supposed to have some friends come over tonight and watch DVDs with me, but one flaked on me and the plans kind of fell apart. Hopefully I’ll get to do something tomorrow, because I’ve been really bored lately. I need a vacation from this boring life!

I’m sorry my blogs are always so boring here. It’s hard to think of interesting things to say every few days because I post most of it at my friends only live journal. Thank you all for bearing with me and continuing to leave comments even though I’ve been slacking on returning them. Thanks for commenting on the last entry: Alisa Andrea Ashley Brit Corey DJ Jennifer Jenny Kandy Kathleen Mecca Mel Melissa Natasha Neeta Sofie Stacey Sue Taryn Vanessa. Don’t forget to leave a comment on this entry because you’ll be plugged in the next entry!

Welcome back to Remixx.net. The whole server was down (including Vortex, CamSlam, and everyone I host), but it’s back up again. Two days without a site seems like a million years to me. I’m pathetic, I know. Anyway, I was quite productive during my short break. I finished one half of my summer reading, and I plan to do the rest today or tomorrow. I also finished a new layout. Yes, I’ve finally made another layout of my own, aren’t you excited? Well, I’m going to go run backups on all my sites hosted on this server, just in case the downtime happens again. I’m hoping the domain works for everyone, and expect a real blog and a new layout soon!

[EDIT] Shaz is a dirty little whore, and you need to visit her right this instant. She needs to regain her “Top Shaz” status on Google! Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz Shaz. That is all for now, kids. [/EDIT]

I saw Catwoman tonight, and it was freaking amazing. I thought it was going to be overly corny like most “super hero” movies, but this one blew me away. I suppose one factor of me liking it was Halle Berry jumping around in a skimpy leather outfit with holes all over it… *imagines*. I urge you all to go see it right this second if you haven’t already. I’m probably going to go see it again with some other friends. I seem to like seeing movies twice… I’ve done it with the past three movies I’ve seen. I’m such a generous patron to the movie industry, *sigh*.

I’m getting really upset about how fast summer is passing. It seems like just last week was the beginning of summer, but time has moved really fast lately. I can’t believe it’s already July 25, leaving me with only two weeks left of my vacation. This sucks. I’ve yet to even start my summer reading assignments, and I’m really not in the mood to go back to a boring life of sitting in classrooms all freaking day. And on top of that, I’m extremely nervous to begin my second to last year of high school. It’s so scary to think about the future and knowing that I’m almost out in the real world. I think I’m getting a bit ahead of myself though.

Scott’s tip of the day: Run virus scans on a regular basis (preferably more than once a week). I’m learning that lesson the hard way, with having to do multiple scans to somehow get rid of eight viruses that I’ve accumulated since July 9th, my last virus scan. Who would actually take time out of their lives to construct a virus to annoy other people? That just seems awfully pathetic to me. People like that need lives! Thank you for all the comments again: Ali Alisa Amy Bella Cami Carli Celest Chanty Chelly Danielle DJ Freddan Giancarlo Haley Jon Jose Julie Katy Maheera Mecca Mel Melissa Monica Nikki Phoebe Reema Ronie Salom馬t;/a> Sammie shahi Shelly Sofie Stella Stephie Summer Taryn Travis. You all rock! I’m going to work later today on returning the comments from the past two entries. I’m really falling behind!

Whoa. That was a lot of comments. Thank you to all of you that commented: Alanna Alex Ali Alisa Amy Ankita Anne Ash Ashley Ava Marie Avvie Beth Billy Brooke Bruce Cammy Carmen Celest Cori Dani Danielle Dark Desiree DJ Eric Faith Freddan Giancarlo Jeff Jen Jenna Jennifer Jesse Jessica Jordan Katherine Kati Katie Kimm Kylie Lauren Lili Lindsey Lisa Lou Lou Mecca Mel Melissa Michael Monica Mysti Natasha Peter Phoebe Porsha (link removed) Sahel Serah Shami Sofie Stella Summer Tammy Taryn Tashie Travis Veronica Vicky vix Wajeeha. And you all can stop telling me that Porsha copied my layout already. I’m well aware of what she did, and I’ve already got her listed in my Wall of Shame (which I updated again today), complete with screenshots of her over-inspired/copied layout. People really need to stop taking things from my site without asking though, and I could go on for days about this. I’d be more understanding if you confronted me via email before you put up a layout that looks a lot like mine, but I don’t want to find out after it’s already up. You will just look like a dirty theif then. I’m to my breaking point with all the copying going on, and it’s reached a level where it’s more annoying than flattering. I was hoping my Wall of Shame would set an example for all you potential copiers out there, but apparently the message isn’t getting through. Unless you have consent from me, don’t take my ideas, don’t take my graphics, and don’t take my coding. That’s the end of my dont-copy-me-rant. Have a nice day. Read my LJ for my offline-related blog if this entry just didn’t satisfy you enough.

Interested in buying a premade layout? I made a layout (yeah, big shocker!) featuring Three Days Grace, and I don’t really want it. It’s up for sale at fu.CK and Vortex, so go bid if you’re a member. And if you’re not a member, just post a comment with your bid (starting at $.50).

[EDIT] Registration for Vortex is working again! Go join if you’re not already a member. [/EDIT]

New layout: Nobody’s Home, made by Ashley. To switch your layout to the new skin, click here. I really should get back to making my own layouts again, but this one just blew me away so I had to buy it. I love the colors, the pictures, the song, everything. Billy told me how to make seperate b2 templates for all of my skins yesterday; consequently, following his directions also got rid of the comment page error. I think we killed two birds with one stone, for lack of a better cliche, haha.

I can already predict that today and tomorrow are going to be really stressful days. The primary is tomorrow, so everyone is really busy around the office trying to get in last minute phone calls encouraging people to vote, etc. I’m probably going to be putting up signs tonight too, so I’m going to be busy busy busy. Thank god we’ll be able to breathe a little easier after the primary… then we only have to worry about the actual election in November. I don’t really think we have that much competition anyway, but you never know. Maybe after all this work is over, I’ll be able to start making some layouts. I’ve been so freaking busy lately, I just haven’t had the time, the energy, or the desire toPhotoshop. Thank god people sell nice layouts for losers like me to buy! Leave me lots of comments and tell me how talented Ashley is, okay? Commenters will be plugged.

[EDIT] I returned most of the comments from the past two entries. I skipped over un-hosted sites with lots of popups, and some people’s blogs were just… boring… and I had nothing to say. So I’m sorry if you were one of those people! Whee, wasn’t that fun. [/EDIT]

[EDIT 2] I added two more copiers to the Wall of Shame. People are pathetic. [/EDIT]
