Whee! Doing a stunt!

Hello, I blog!

I share all my sporadic and toilet thoughts in here, because I am random like that.

Brendalogy.me and brendalogy.org

I just bought brendalogy.me and brendalogy.org. Both domains redirect back here to brendalogy.net. (And for those who know my email address, the corresponding versions for brendalogy.me and brendalogy.org works too.)

Strange, but I had a dream two nights ago that someone else out there was squatting on brendalogy.com. Decided to do a domain search an hour ago to confirm this … and sure enough.

My dreams are scary, I tell you. They always come true.

And for obvious reasons, brendalogy.com and (myemailaddress)@brendalogy.com is not going to work.

Site-wise, it’s been a long while since I’ve done any illustrating and designing for this place. Soon, soon. I’m looking forward to getting my hands dirty with some graphic work already. (;

I ought to stop buying shoes

As in, seriously!

In the past four months alone, I have amassed at least eight new pairs. It’s driving my mum up the wall, because I shift her shoes to release more space in the cabinet for mine. Plus, she claims my shoes are much, much cheaper than hers (which is true), so she should get first dibs on the storage space, not me.

Exactly what kind of footwear do I go for?

Well, one thing for sure – I do not fit the typical girly shoe-owner profile of collecting heels. I don’t quite support the idea of straining my feet. Rather, I go for comfort.

The girliest pair of shoes I own is a pair of gladiator flats. And so far, I’ve worn it only … about twice. Erps.

The bulk of my shoe cabinet comprises sneakers, Birkenstocks (particularly Papillios) and a collection of ballet flats and mary-janes in a myriad of colours and designs. The general gist is – as long as they are easy on the feet, I have ’em!

Uh, okay. I somewhat digressed. The purpose of this entry was actually to announce the arrival of two recent additions.

My existing pair of Nikes were starting to ‘talk’ to me (think a semi-detached, flappy sole), so I decided to get a new pair of sneakers in view of my trip to Vancouver next month.

This time round, I opted for Adidas – indisputably my favourite brand.

The laces were originally white, but I replaced ’em with a pair of black ones because I like having some contrast on my shoes.

Mmmm, awesome possums!

I always get a high from Adidas‘ stuff.

The last time I bought myself a pair of black Adidas sneakers (way back in early-2008), it took about two months before I decided to stop with the ‘I love them so much that I can’t bear to wear them‘ nonsense and eventually wore them out.

Even looking at these pictures alone brings me into a tizzy. That is the extent of how much I love my new sneakers. (;

The second addition is another pair of flats. Not quite the usual style of flats, though. This one is slightly androgynous – but it was the colour combination and design that attracted me.

Oh, hello!

Hello guys, after a prolonged hiatus from blogging and the web scene in general, I’m back … along with a move to my Brendalogy.net domain!

I felt I’ve somewhat outgrown Little-wonder.net. After all, I registered that domain when I was a wee fourteen year old kiddo. I’ve spent a good nine years there, but it’s time to move on to something new.

Brendalogy.net is not exactly new. As of 2010, it would be four years old.

All my blog entries posted before 2010 have been archived offline, away from public view. I’ve decided that some of them entries, especially those written between 2001-2005 out of teenage angst should never see the light of day again.

Feel free to poke around the domain. The photography site is partially up, as I am still in the process of migrating existing photos over, on top of rediting them all over again. Tedious stuff, but I’m happy doing it and that’s what matters.

Everything’s practically been hand-drawn from scratch. I’ve spent two days on the illustrations and layout designs alone and needless to say, I am exceptionally pleased with the overall result.

Last but not least, please update your links, people! People who have subscribed to my feed needn’t do anything, because I’ve already done the necessary redirection for you.

What are you waiting for? Say hello! (;

NOTE: Internet Explorer Bugs
If anyone can help me with these, I’ll love you forever.

(1) Social media icons not showing properly on post pages in IE. Plugin is ‘SexyBookmarks’. Activating it also led to Javascript and CSS errors on both IE and Firefox. I’ve abandoned the plugin for now.
(2) RESOLVED! – Contact form (here) showing strangely in IE.
(3) NEW!:focus and :hover classes added to inputs and textareas don’t show in IE.

Here I am debugging at 4 in the morning and I am coming this close to wanting to murder Bill Gates for inventing this crap of a browser. Hurhur.
