I particularly feel chatty today. Iono… after weeks of almost inactivity from posting, I made three posts (inclusive of this one) within the past two hours. Three more than last week and the week prior. Well, I suppose updates are in order.

- Recently launched two websites. Well, one isn't that recent but fairly recent enough:

The US Blues – an official supporters club of London's Chelsea FC.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church – my Parish located in Hermosa Beach, CA.

Both sites use this wonderful Open Source portal called Joomla! (it's mySQL and PHP-driven). I'm particularly happy about these two sites as you can tell. I don't normally post my work here. I'd rather do that via my ageing Portfolio (yah, haven't really updated it yet!)

-I officially resigned from my Parish's Liturgical Committee. That'll take into effect January 2007; which means I still have the Christmas Liturgies and probably an Installation mass to plan for. I can't believe I've been part of the committee since 2001. I've been helming a committee that planned liturgies (including the death of JP2, installation of Pope B. and so on). I wonder if I should put that on my C.V. … lol

-I quit NaNoWriMo after approximately 5,099 words. Iono — too many things going on that I couldn't focus on putting words on paper… I did finish proof-reading my 2005 Novel, Descendere but haven't found someone to edit it for me… Any takers?

-I haven't run or exercised… in weeks! It's very sloth-like of me and I know that I have to get back in shape for this snowboarding season. Ugh. I'm not going near a scale anytime soon.

-My room is still a bloody mess. It's my Achilles' heel, I tell you! My Achilles' heel!!! At least it's a disorganised mess, though. Well, actually, the other day, I was putting away some plastic bags littered about when I opened one and saw a couple of items of clothing still with their tags on! Ooops! No wonder I couldn't find those purchases in my closet. >_<

Anyway, I should end at that before this turns into a discourse longer than my novel!

Congratulations to Sheryl!
… for passing the 2006 California State Bar exam! I'm so proud of you (and knew all along you can DOOOO EEET!). You rock girl! You're seriously my heroine.

…to an earthquake.

This hasn't happened in a while but I suppose the loud thud was more than enough to wake me from my slumber. Anyway, as of 6:23AM, the news on telly haven't even reported it yet. Thank goodness for the So Cal Earthquake Centre, though as they have more updated info:
