It’s been good, but I’m going to be moving on to a wordpress on a fancy sub-domain. My hosting company, Dreamhost, is awesome by the way. I had trouble setting things up, and they helped me in practically no time flat. I highly recommend their services.

“Why the sub-domain,” you ask? I won’t lie, I love the format of the xkcd website with blog on the subdomain and comics on the main page. That’s right. I’m going to have comics on the main page. In a perfect world, there will be comics regularly posted on the front page. In a great world, it will be regular updates of comics or my latest art projects.

In reality, it will be comics or art on a semi-new basis, catalogued by number, rather than date. I’ll likely reference the frontpage from the blog, but not the other way around. To make it easy on me, I already have a ton of stuff stashed around here (here being my two hard drives at home and the space this site is hosted on).

Ame likes to exercise to belly-dancing videos, and, like most girls (or so I’m led to believe), she likes to feel pretty. My parents had gotten her a gift certificate to Amazon.com for Christmas, so she was browsing for what I think are called waist-scarves - basically pretty little pseudo-skirts with fringes - that can wave and move around as she exercises. I looked over her shoulder and saw the product she had up was listed as “Lt Purple.”

I told her that the one in lieutenant purple looked good and she should get it. I completely missed the possibility of ‘light purple.’ My logic was along the lines of, if there’s a ‘Navy Blue,’ why not a ‘Lieutenant Purple?’ She looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears, and then I realized my mistake! I tried to backpedal into mentioning ‘Sergeant Orange,’ but that didn’t work so well.

What’s worse is that the day before, she mentioned she was looking at a Light Purple waist-scarf that she liked. I cracked a joke then too, but this time it was on purpose: “You know what rhymes with ‘light purple?’ ‘light urple.’” A stupid joke, and Lieutenant Purple wins every time.

I know I’m gonna hear about this one forever. Oh well, I guess this is how family jokes start.
