some reading material

[Brinatello]

Hey, everyone,   I've got some new updates at my web site.  First is my apologies to Bee whom relies on me hosting her fan fics.  She got her latest chapter to me in JUNE and here I go taking my own sweet time to update.  I've got to learn to stop slacking when there's work to be done.  Without further ado, chapter 18 is now up and ready.  Enjoy!   http://brinatello.splunkyard.com/bees-stories/retribution/chapter18.htm   The other stuff is chapter 3 to "A Turtle's Journey Beyond," a new short called "Turtle Pursuit" and I'll admit my latest dream is something that really scared me half to death.  This is not the one I showed everyone on the list, this one's newer and I'm surprised I'm leaving it up for all to see.  You can go look if you want to.  Oh, and I put my quiz picture up, too.  Going to display Mike proudly!   http://brinatello.splunkyard.com/index.htm     Oh, this isn't an update, but I do have something to show GreenWillow.  She came online last night, but had to leave so I didn't get to show her.  I did, however, show Sean who really liked it.  If anyone's been to GW's main page, they would see that it looks like this (just giving a plug for an example :) :   http://www.behindthemasks.com/greenwillow/   Notice how the title words, the little animated star sparks between ENTER, and the TMNT picture all have a black border around them?  Well, I was bored one night and decided to fix those images, including a reanimation of the star sparks.  I changed the images to gifs and made the black borders transparent against the blue star background.  Now, it looks like this (just giving another example) :   http://brinatello.splunkyard.com/greenwillow.htm   I had to leave the webring stuff out on the bottom below the TMNT picture because it kept corrupting the web page.  I mostly wanted to show her what I've done and see what she thinks.  Happy or angry come to mind.  I can make the other images the same way, but the problem is I'm having sooo much trouble with my mouse.  The censors are damaged, causing the mouse to fly and jerk all over the screen.  This makes it harder to work in Corel.  In other words, I have to put manipping on hold.  :(   Anyway, I'm not staying online all day.  I'm tired of bathing and washing my hair in the kitchen sink.  The maintenance guy is supposed to come over and fix our shower faucet once and for all.  We can't run the shower because the downstairs ceiling has already broken through from the leak.  And guess where the hole is?  Right by my computer hutch!  Water has already dripped near my TMNT comic boxes and that was enough for me to say that we've got a serious problem here!  Later for now, everyone.   Oh, and Happy Birthday to RINGO!!!!  Our Mikey-Beatle of the bunch!   Brinatello
