In the name of rushing and finally getting things done, a first draft version of the main site is kind of done. It can be seen, coincidently, at http://www.zombieskittles.com. There are two basic features, the first being the main menu which links to all our sub domains, plus a few other projects of mine and Courtney’s.
The second took a little help from someone, who for no reason other than his love of WordPress put his hand up to help me. The Latest Updates page uses a plug-in pointed out by Mr David Jonathon to display the latest blog post from each of the blogs listed on the page. The point being to make a page that allows someone new to the site to see what our latest work is on each site.
The website itself is still fairly bland, but later versions will definitely be better than this. I’m setting the bar low so no matter what, people can go “wow that’s MUCH better than the last version”.

Courtney’s birthday is today, and despite her best attempts to be morbid about it, I am determined to make this an awesome 24 hours for her. First, to kick off celebrations, BALLOONS! ..Or as close to balloons as I could get. See, I suffer from procrastination, and lack of planning. But, I improvised; I happened to have a “balloon box”, which by coincidence I happened to get as a present from Courtney on my own eighteenth birthday.
The concept of the balloon box was to hold condoms, due to her fascination at the time with the safe sex slogan No Balloon, No Party. It was hilarious, and happened to tonight, hold what I see to be a shit ton of condoms; seventeen in total. Ladies and gentlemen, WE HAVE OUR BALLOONS.
It took ages to blow them all up, and I got so lightheaded I swore I saw John Paul II, but they’re all done. My hands smell of latex and “banana bump”, but it was worth it to watch Courtney smile:
So is the start of celebrations. Right now we’re watching the movie Capote and plotting tomorrow’s plans, which involves a trip to the art gallery and some geocaching.
If you read this and follow the girl on Twitter, wish her a happy birthday. Even if you don’t; send her a tweet anyway.
Update: Woke up this morning, suddenly realized, that we both didnt feel up to going out. But all is not lost; there is always next time to make up for lost time.
