well, so far things are going pretty good with comcast. i have to relearn all the channels cuz they're all different! and the DVR and program guide are really different, but relatively easy to use. the best part about comcast, something that dish didn't offer, is "on demand." it's a bunch of programs that you watch when you want to watch them. they have a lot of different shows, covering all genres. but my favorite is "exercise tv!" it's so fun! yesterday, i did a little bellydancing, afro-brazilian tribe, latin and yoga. they were each only about 10 minutes long.

i have a really hard time finding jeans, so i get really excited when one finally fits me well. i've decided that j.crew jeans fit my body the best, which is weird cuz i always equate j.crew pants with super skinny stick figures with no hips, since that's what all the models look like! they were having a really good sale on jeans, so i bought a couple pairs online. when i went to submit my order, the site froze up! so i wasn't sure if it went thru or not. so i reordered. and yesterday, i got 2 orders of the same 2 jeans! oy vey...they're final sale items so i couldn't return them! :( but then i thought about it...it takes me a while to find good jeans, i might as well just keep these, cuz it's not like jeans ever go out of style! i mean, i've had the same style jeans forever now (bootcut), so it's safe to say i could keep the extra pair, stash them away somewhere safe, and the next time i need new jeans, voila! instant new jeans!

W got me this book to help me learn HTML better. he taught me basics, so i could edit my own blog (hence what you see here). but i only know the main tags and shortcuts (i.e. copying someone else's work!). this book should help me with the basic principles of HTML, and what's going on backstage. if all goes well, i think i'll also try this one, which is more comprehensive and goes into better detail with CSS. and maybe i'll get a quickstart guide on dreamweaver too. what do i plan to do with all this knowledge you ask? why, create my own fabulous website of course! not exactly sure what i'm going to do with it, but i'm thinking i want to build some sort of crafting/knitting site, and maybe even try to sell the stuff i make. but we'll see. i don't want to get too ahead of myself. let's try building a website first. :)
