You are guaranteed one Annie pic in each journal entry at the end. For a couple months at least.

What do you guys eat for lunch? Just give me a list of stuff you like to eat. I have a problem in that I have no idea what to eat for lunch. I either skip lunch or I eat easy mac. If you have vegetarian suggestions all the better but maybe I could adapt some non-veggie things so I can eat it too. Just don't suggest cold cut sandwiches because that don't help me none.

Annie Tetris is basically done. The blocks fall. I fixed the problem in Opera to make the blocks continue to move as long as you're holding down the arrow keys. This has introduced a slight problem in that the controls get a little wonky sometimes when you move the piece left or right. For now it'll have to do.

More boring technical Annie Tetris talk follows, it's more for me than anybody else.

I don't know if this will work at all in Safari. Isn't that strictly a Mac thing? I went to the Safari home page and they don't want me to download it. I'm guessing it just comes with all Macs. I'm wary of asking for testing help in the Web Developers group or the Mac group because I don't feel like putting up with people's derisive comments about Annie.

Annoyingly, the music will not work in Netscape. It works fine in Firefox, and that's stupid. Netscape is based on Firefox. Music works in Firefox. Does not work in Netscape. What the fuck.

I was hoping it had to do with the Quicktime plugin, but the plugin clearly works in Netscape. The problem lies in my trying to control the audio with Javascript. I've visited other sites that have sound and movies controlled by Javascript, and none of them work in Netscape either. If I'm really desperate I may just force people to listen to the music non-stop if they're using Netscape, but that's more than a little annoying. May be the only thing I can do. The music control is hidden but perhaps for Netscape users I could un-hide it.

Before I go live with this thing I want to attempt to make a high score table. It will be practically my first foray into the world of CGI scripting. The last time I did anything with CGI was in 2000/2001. I made a dynamic calendar with Perl based on a SQL database. I don't think I still have my code from that which is a shame. This time I want to try PHP.

I may very well ask in the Web Developers group about the high score table (with no mention of Annie), to get some advice on security. Heck, someone might just come forward and write a script for me. But I'll work on a script myself first. I don't want to make a bad script that can get hacked and have people putting in fake high scores. Or worse.



I don't eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables and I think I have a vitamin C deficiency. My fingertips on my left hand hurt and are peeling. Tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, strawberries, and citrus fruits are good sources of vitamin C that I wouldn't mind eating. Actually I hate citrus fruits but I do famously drink limeade. I'm losing my taste for it to be honest, because it's so acidic. Kind of sad. And isn't it just sugar anyway? But I always buy grape tomatoes. I just went out and bought more. Grape tomatoes are like a healthy junk food for me. I love them. I don't mind an excuse to eat more.

Now I'm eating them like there's no tomorrow. It's making my stomach hurt. Because it's acidic. Jesus.

And damn it, it only has 10 mgs of vitamin C per 100 grams. I'd be better served eating broccoli. Or at the very least orange juice or strawberries. I HATE orange juice. And I don't think strawberries are in season.

I'm really going to have to force myself to eat. And I should force myself to ask questions in the SG nutrition group.

I woke up bright and early this morning and planned to make the oatmeal. I never followed through. Bad.

Maybe I could force myself to drink ONE glass of OJ a day. Man, fuck that shit. I hate orange juice. And I don't think I could eat broccoli every single day.

See I'm obviously going about this the wrong way. I can't focus all on one single type of food. I have to eat a variety of things.

Lunch is a problem. I have no idea what to eat for lunch. I could force myself to eat salad every day for lunch. That's healthy. But again, I need a variety here. Salad on some days... something else on other days. BUT WHAT???

I mentioned to mom that Sabrina's recent upsurge in annoying behavior may well be due to the lack of Prozac, to which mom responded "why doesn't she have Prozac?" I had told her last week that I couldn't afford to buy anymore. She obviously wasn't listening. She was upset that Sabrina hasn't been getting Prozac. She's going to give me money so I can buy it.

I did tell her. She said "you didn't tell me hard enough." Is that fair?

That damn Mylo remix of Chewing Gum is stuck in my head from the damn Tetris.

I bet Annie eats right. Look at that healthy glow.

For lunch I usually have a turkey sandwich, pretzels, and some water. I'm all about the spartan.
