Site News: Kiss My Lovely Sweet Ass Good-Bye

Posted by blissmo 27 July 2008 26 Comments

Sorry to disappoint you … because misleading titles are great.

The funny thing about this team is that we all seem to get pretty much busy around the same time.

blissmo: My family and I are taking care of a Japanese exchange student so we’re touring her around Melbourne like crazy. Unfortunately, the only things I know about Australia are that koalas have big noses, hippo wee looks like alcohol and kangaroos are ugly creatures. Also, due to circumstances, I don’t think I’ll be able to get the Bunny Channel up until next week, which means adaywithoutme is going to have to sadly continue ignoring me. Regarding FAGGOTS, I’m going to postpone the entire series until I get a Wacom. I don’t want people like otou-san mistaking a rectangle for a toilet paper tube ever again.
JLeeson: It’s his first year at college, so you can’t blame him.
Makoto: Partying over at Work Paradise.
newgeekphilosopher: He’s taking the time off to finish off his school assignment and has some other personal events to attend to.
21st Century Digital Boy: Isn’t he always unreliable anyway? He’s most likely gone off to marathon anime again.
TokiDoki: He works behind the scenes and is like another mellow_bunny except an un-lazy version.
midnightrose: She gets her anime from me now since she easily gets capped, plus her internet wasn’t working for a while because blah blah something radar, but now it’s back. That being said, my MSN Messenger isn’t working, I can’t be stuffed using web, she’s changed her email so we haven’t been able to chat online, therefore we haven’t been able to cook up a Random Rant.
Hotcakez: He just returned from a very long vacation and he forgot to tell me until some time ago, so he should catch up with CODE GEASS R2 and World Destruction soon.
otou-san: Finally moved into his new home, so he probably hasn’t been able to catch up with anything lately. If you haven’t noticed, he’s on Anime Industry crack which Kabitzin (which reminds me, since I’m too lazy to send you an email, what recent comments plugin do you use for your blog?) seems to be quite proud of.
Omisyth + Cokematic: They’re the only one so far who hasn’t been diagnosed with the Yukan: Time To Get Lazy disease.

Apparently this theme appears appalling via IE, so that explains the lack of comments from non-bloggers (I don’t know any blogger that doesn’t use safari or firefox). So TokiDoki’s trying to get the skin to be compatible with crappy IE, while I went around getting obsessed with Magazine style themes (somewhat thanks to bateszi, IcyStorm and DarkMirage) and found loads of pretty ones. I’ll be saving those themes for next year, but I prefer to leave these kind of matters into the hands of TokiDoki.

Of course there are tons more themes I fell in love with, and since this is a team blog, they’re probably not the best to use. But at least searching for them saved me from boredom. If you do plan on using these themes, however, because you saw them through this post, please just refer back to me because I spent ages looking for them. Out of those three, I really like the Options Theme.

I’ve added some small avatars to certain posts and pages and authors on the side-bar to enrich the boringness. Also, the annotated blogroll is finally completed and I’ve categorized blogs, so I hope you guys don’t mind that so much. The emoticons you see now will be temporary since I don’t like copying other people or having the same thing as anyone else, so I should start hunting for other awesome emoticons soon. And is it just me, or does CODE GEASS seem to get lamer and lamer (episode 15+16)?

PS. The avatars for the authors are all characters from Lucky Star, but a male version of them. I’ve never seen the anime before so I had to read all the biographies, thus gave certain characters to certain bloggers. Pretty clever, huh? Totally thought so.

PPS. ROOKIES IS FINISHED (I think)! THE 11TH EPISODE IN RAW FORMAT IS OUT!

Damn I want a japanese exchange student. Then I can interrogate him/her with questions about anime, otakus, eroge, and jap culture in general, and making them feel very weird. =P

Kabitzin said:

Haha, how did you know I would read this? I use Get Recent Plugins and it works ok. The one thing is it sometimes looks messed up on the sidebar whenever you edit a widget, in which case you have to click “reset template to default” in the options page. This fixes the problem, but it is kinda odd, since I have never actually edited the template options.

I’ve seen this blog in FF3, IE6 and IE7 and I have no problems with it. Still, TokiDoki has skillz, so I’m sure whatever pops out will look great. Also, the annotated blogroll is beautiful (but looks like way too much work for me to copy =_=)

Non-bloggers use IE??? Well that explains the lack of interest from that section…
Tell me what aspects of foreign culture that your Japanese exchange student seems interested in, it’ll help the next time I’m ask to blab about my country -_-”

TokiDoki said:

hehe ye people are quite lazy around here at this time in melbourne, uni/school holidays have just ended and everyone is still isn’t up to getting back into study, or anything else lol.

The reason for lack of comments from non-bloggers is mostly cause your permalinks aint set up yet, once youve set it up google will index your site better and you’ll get more “randoms” lol. But also ye I guess it kinda looks messed in IE, I’ll try and fix it up soon lol.

@Cokematic: At least you told me, unlike HOTCAKEZ And you lost me at aff

@Hynavian: I shall

@21st Century Digital Boy: We can’t help but feel the same way about you

@issa-sa: Tell me how to say that in Japanese and I’ll be glad to ask

@TokiDoki: Then we must hurry and set up the permalinks! Yeah, I can’t be stuffed doing my Japanese assignment lols

Yay for Tokidoki! I would be glad to take a look at the CSS to see what is WAIT no I wouldn’t, that’s why it hasn’t been done yet. I am lazy, and I can’t even manage to make my quota of Allison & Lillia or Itazura posts.

@blissmo, We meet again. Also hehe I er am only somewhat lazy.. @_@! I’m totally active behind the scenes. In my defense it is hard to work when a harem of bunny girls is pressing you to spend time with them in new and fascinating ways. WHICH REMINDS ME BLISSMO. I need your assistance :D! You just volunteered yourself for a new project. I will leave a message in the usual dropbox.
