SRSLY?? can you get the hardcovers? they are much prettier and less fragile.

all i get from work is papercuts on my tongue! ::trades places::

[simplykatie]

the only thing we've got is the reinforced binding. and the reinforced binding means ugly library white-cover binding. and it's through the scary people at alibris.

the paperback, however, i could get you from the warehouse. haha.

[simplykatie]

um. that was me. i suck.

[barbed_whispers]

haha, i figured it was you :P

blah, library binding. thanks anyway, love.

what are you up to today?

[simplykatie]

what? you don't have librarians stalking your lj?

[simplykatie]

oh, and i'm being bored. that's what i'm doing today.

[simplykatie]

GODDAMMIT.

i blame the work computers.

[barbed_whispers]

[simplykatie]

can you check out http://www.somethingclever.com/trial.html and/or my css (sc3.css, i believe) and see if there's anything obviously wrong? my bg image isn't showing, but i couldn't figure out what i was screwing up since i just edited css straight from lissaexplains.com (SO LAZY)

obvs, don't put too much effort into this since i'm probably just going to screw it all up again later :)

[barbed_whispers]

woo! i'll try it tonight. i did quotes last night, but i didn't think of parentheses. you are the bestest!

[simplykatie]

i know, right?

[barbed_whispers]

it's still not working? ::cries:: this was all so easy when we were freshmen!!!

[simplykatie]

get rid of the quotes, but keep the paratheses. i double-checked this morning in my "css pocket reference" book. i think that's how you had it before though, in which case i go ::sticks tongue out::
