Welcome to Amas Veritas [dot] com

Updates: Media (lyrics) has a new layout. I could never figure out how to lay it out, but it's easier to navigate now. I'm still working on a better duplicate Mamblog mod. I'm trying to make submittions easier but the poetry form died for some reason. Quizzes are also on their way from the old site. Joomla content isn't very code friendly so I'm having to rewrite old code. You can still click on News > AH v21 > Screen if you wish to use the quizzes.
 
Ally Walker Lives!

I was (and sort of still am) totally obsessed with the TV show Profiler in it's 3rd and 4th season in 2000 though it's been playing as reruns ever since and when Ally Walker left the show she sort of fell off the face of the earth. I found her later in Happy, Texas and various other small parts, like the earlier movie Bed of Roses and others but that's all. For a couple years after the series ended it seemed that she stopped acting. I came home this evening and my parents were watching the HBO series Tell Me You Love Me and there she was! She's like an actual regular cast member! Unfotunately, I watched about ten minutes of it and that was more than I could handle. The name is harmless but it's WAY too close to porn in my opinion. I'd rather watch Showtime's Californication and even that's a but much for me. The language in Tell Me You Love Me seems relatively clean but in Californication, there just isn't much sex anymore. At about the third episode I could have stopped watching it but luckly it has mellowed out and it's pretty good now. I wish Ally Walker was in something not so x-rated. I don't even swear, I mean I swear when I "type" more than I ever swear when I talk. If I do swear, it feels awkward coming out of my mouth and it's totally accidental...or deserved lol.

I've been coding..like PHP scripts for work. In the past week I've coded a whole system for clients to sign in and download their files and I'm really enjoying myself. Last night I wrote a script, "Security Check" that checks all download folders (1550+ folders) to make sure they all have an index.php file that redirects anyone who tries to access them back to the login page. If it doesn't find one it writes the file and checks the next folder. Then it prints a whole report on the screen and it's set up so I or any of my co-workers can run it if I need them to. No work on the part of the user. I can't decide what I'm going to do next. I want to do something more complicated, like database driven or something USEFUL for either the agency or our clients. It depends on what's reasonable to expect from myself. In the first project I tackled arrays, and the second tackled writing files. I've tried and failed writing and handling cookies so I may go back to working with a database. I've done the php mail function and a gazillion for loops and nested arrays. I'd like to try pear but I copied some code from the Pear website and it didn't work so I don't know if there was something I missed or if there are issues with my web host. I think Pear may be a little out of my league...

"That's Deeply Disturbing."

I actually found this about a month ago:

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is starring in an Australian film called December Boys! Hopefully it will be available here in the states too. I haven't done any research on that subject.

I also found this interview with the Harry Potter actors which I found pretty funny, about their visit to Los Angeles. I've never been to England but L.A. just isn't as exciting as they make it sound. Here's an excerpt of the interview:

( http://movies.about.com/od/harrypotter5/a/hpotter070907_4.htm )
 
Q.
"...what do you think about Los Angeles?"
 
A.
Rupert Grint: “LA is really cool, yeah. It's been really fun. It's just really different to everywhere else. I really enjoy it. It's been really, really good, hasn't it?”
 
Emma Watson: “Yeah, it's really funny. There's lots of things, like when I came the second time to LA, there were so many things I didn't know about it. Apparently my dad went to like the tar pits yesterday which I was just like, ‘That was so weird.’”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “What's he doing at a tar pit?”
 
Emma Watson: “It's this massive tar pit which basically loads of animals basically fell into.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “Oh God, that's horrendous!”
 
Emma Watson: “Yeah, it's nice that he actually had a day yesterday when I was able to actually see LA, which is really cool.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “That's deeply disturbing.”
 
Emma Watson: “It's not. It's really cool. It's like history. You can see it.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “I was about to say that LA's very clean.”
 
Emma Watson: “Let me finish my answer. So it's been really nice and the reception we had yesterday was amazing. I've had a really good time here and everyone's been really friendly. It's been really fun. It's been really, really good.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “It is a strange town, I think. It's totally different from I think anything we've really experienced before. I don't know, it's hard, it's very spread out and I don't know, it's just hard to get my head around fully really. It's just like nothing I've ever - nowhere I've ever been really.”
 
Emma Watson: “It's very distinctive.”
 
The Guys: “Yes.”
 
Emma Watson: “You know you're in LA.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “Yeah, certainly.”
 
Emma Watson: “The weather's nice.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “That [it] is.”
 
Emma Watson: “We're all enjoying that.”
 
Daniel Radcliffe: “Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's the first thing you notice because it's warm. Coming from England where they have storms and things recently.”

What do I want to talk about?..."Happy thoughts."

I'm feeling very much like no food, no cutting, no sleep could make me feel okay right now. I have food but it's not on my list of "comfort foods" and even if I did have something, I don't think it'd help. I'm not panicky in that way. It's more of an overall hopeless feeling. I'm not in that mood where I start considering my lot in life but it still isn't a good place to be.

The website is giving me problems. I'm trying to duplicate Mamblog so that I can have two very separate user blogs and poetry sections but pieces are missing and I don't know where else to look for them. There's no mindless television on. It's all "thought provoking."

I saw my therapist today but everything I talked about was superficial. I start crying every time we talk about the real issues so when she asks me what I want to talk about I don't know. My life hasn't changed in three days. I'm still miserable and since I wiped my mind of bad thoughts so I could function, I was drawing a blank. What do I want to talk about?..."Happy thoughts."

The Hole

"This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up: 'Hey, you! Can you help me out?' The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on."

"Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up: 'Father, I'm down in this hole. Can you help me out?' The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on.

"Then a friend walks by: 'Hey, Joe, it's me. Can you help me out?' And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, 'Are you stupid? Now we're both down here.' The friend says: 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.'"

(A quote from West Wing, original author unknown)

i've never so seriously considered

I made dinner. I wasn't hungry and I'm trying not to eat unless I'm hungry, and then only until I don't feel hungry (not until I'm "full") but I'd only had a soda and two beef-style taquitos so I thought I should eat. It was 8:30pm and I didn't want to get hungry and end up eating after 10:00pm. Afterall, my new back-door reminder note says "If you're not hungry or it's after 10pm -- YOU DON'T NEED FOOD! Chew gum or drink water!" At least this one isn't putting myself down.

Harmless. Just a friendly reminder. It hasn't worked until yesterday evening. I wanted the Goldfish I picked out for lunch at the museum yesterday but I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO EAT THEM if you know what I mean.

I headed into my room with my pasta that I didn't want to eat and realized it was 9:00pm, time for the Dexter Season Finale. I set down my food and rushed out to remind my father, who's also started watching the show. He told me to come out and watch it with him but I said I couldn't, I was eating dinner. He insisted I eat out there with him so we could watch it together...so much for dinner. I took a few belabored bites and feigned distraction; drank my water, let the cat inside, stared famously at the television. I should have studied drauma. He mentioned I didn't eat much and said something about disctration and I touched the pasta with my finger, "Still good", stood up to leave. "It's still warm", walked the bowl into my room and set it down. So much for dinner. Dexter was good though. It's gonna be a good season.

My stomach hurts, whether from the pasta or something else I don't know but the soda I had this afternoon made my stomach hurt too. Or maybe it was the two beef-style taquitos I had for lunch. I don't want to be. Not like this. I wish I had the strength to take all the pills in my arsenal. If I didn't have to worry about my parents being angry...I can't even call my therapist, and I really want to right now. She's allowed me to but I've never been able to call her like this. I can't wake her up for my stupid problems, even though I often times feel worse when I have to walk in and tell her I didn't caller like she asked, like she made me promise. Cutting is bad, I know. I feel pain, another reason not to cut. That whole numb feeling eludes me. It's been a long time. I don't even have anything, nothing obvious that is. I've never so seriously considered taking pills.
