Rating: 
Opinion: Yeah well, I went, saw and enjoyed. Placeholder for the review, I don’t feel like writing it yet…for now, be happy with this:
There was an exuberant mood leaving the theater, as if everyone was in collective agreement that Lucas had finally done it. That he had gone out on top, with a stunning, rock-solid coup de grace. And from all the feedback I’ve heard from that screening, my sense of that collective mood was right.
There are no real spoilers in ROTS. Everyone basically knows what happens in Episode 4: A New Hope. We all know Anakin becomes Vader. We know Obi Wan lives and we know Luke and Leia are born. What we don’t know is how Lucas weaves those story lines into the large, six-part opus and better yet, why?
Category: Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi
Director: George Lucas
Actors: Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman , Ewan McGregor, Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McDiarmid, Frank Oz.
Duration: 141 Minutes (Aprox.)
Rating: Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images.

I’m starting to get back on track in Uni work, slowly, and also in my web-page buisness. I hope to be able to ask for commisions on the web soon, specially because I wanna get enough money to pay for my hosting that way (and that means 50 dollars). The course that more problems and headache is giving me is 3D modelling. It’s my weak spot, and even though this semester I’ve managed to assist to (practically) every class, I still am having problems.
My computer is screaming for a reformat, so probably this weekend I’ll do that if I can, and I really have to get myself a new RAM stick because my computer is getting really slow and I can’t even open the program I need to model stuff on 3D Studio Max (which I uninstalled last night to make space on the computer). For now, I’m letting it defragment repeatedly, but I have to back up my files and get a clean start on it, so it starts working better.
I also wanna work on my own pages, specifically The Wanderers. I’ve noticed that I am getting visits daily, and the people visit the gallery and story sections and then leave (I don’t have much more, besides the recently added profile page for Keiko), and I somehow think they aren’t coming back. (no way to really say that but yeah…) So I wanna add some story info, and fix up the gallery. I have a slew of pictures to place, I just have to format them and add them. I wanna use a database, and I wanna learn to store imaegs int he same database though, and for that I’ll need some examples of that from Xae. So I’ll have to ak him for help on that, and pester him to finish his character’s profiles.

My boyfriend finally got himself a blog! I’ve been nagging him for days about it, and even more than that about him doing something about his empty domain.
Named simply Xae’s Blog, he has a LOT to do before it’s finished, but so far, he’s nstalled WordPress and is working on customizing it even as I type! I’ll be visiting his blog a lot, hope he visits mine <3.

Well, should have seen this coming… with all the cold I’ve been under, I finally caught a cold this morning. I was actually not feeling all that well last night, and when I got into my pajamas and into bed my teeth were chattering with the cold, and my nose was running. I woke up this morning feeling pretty bad, so I stayed in bed… I didn’t have morning classes anyways, so I just kept on sleeping (waking up every hour or so) till I was calld for lunch. I got dressed and ate, but didn’t feel very good. So I stayed home all day. Luckily the sun was out today, so my room got really warm in the afternoon, and it’s still warmer than the rest of the house. I had tea in bed, and just did my homework for tomorrow, and I’ll be heading for bed again after this.
I better feel better for tomorrow, because the homework is groupwork, and I have more than 70% of the job with me… I’ve taken my medicine, so that and sme extra sleep should help me be fit for tomorrw, even if I miss my earlier classes.

Resetting default padding and margin | clagnut/blog
is a really interesting blog entry I found when looking for a solution to differences between styling of lists in Mozilla and Internet Explorer, the two mostly used browsers out there.
Many styling inconsistencies occur between browsers because browsers apply their own internal style sheet to HTML elements. These style sheets are very similar, but crucially they do differ. The most notable difference occurs with lists: Safari and Gecko-based browsers (such as Firefox) use padding-left to indent lists; Internet Explorer uses margin-left. Neither are right or wrong, they are just different.
While I’ve learned to hate IE very much since I started learning CSS, I think this is one big step towards learning new, cleaner, ways to style sites, and make them cross-browser compatible.
