Procrastination for the win!

Well, would you look at that! knoifey-spoony.com is open again. Never thought you'd see the day, did you? *innocent look*

Anyway, welcome! This is my very own personal website. Me being known as Apprentice by most. If you're looking for my fanlisting collective, just jump on over to Like Whoa! (slightly-bonkers.net) and you'll be right as rain. Similarly, if you're after my personal blog, feel free to take a visit to my LiveJournal.

If you're a fanlisting owner and you're looking for your button, you'll need the Joined page at my collective. :)

You'll let me pretend I snuck this post in under the one month mark, right? It's only two days over! Just this once, pretty please? :D YAY! You're so nice to me!

Got a bulk 2008 Reading List update for you today!

To start, the third and fourth books in the 'Twilight' series, 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn' respectively, by Stephenie Meyer. :) As far as fluffy pretty-vampire fodder goes, this series is definitely worth the time (though I could've lived without having to suffer through the third book).

And finally, 'House' by Frank Peretti & Ted Dekker. Another book my sister bought and insisted I read! Wasn't particularly thrilled by the ending, but it was convenient enough as a time-passer.

That's all on the book worm front, but I should also mention that I revamped the 'Naomi' namelisting. It's one of my oldest fanlistings and one of the most in need of a makeover, so I'm very happy to have finally got around to it. ♥

That's all from me, but remember to drop me a line if you ever get the urge!

Two updates in one month wut! I feel faint; somebody call a doctor!

I really shouldn't exert myself like this (;), but I had an update to make to my 2008 Reading List and I didn't want to forget (as I usually do), so I struck while the iron was hot: 'New Moon' by Stephenie Meyer, sequel to the book I added in my last update. :D

Aside from that, I've finally (no, really, if you had any idea how long this has been in the making... phwoar) finished re-adding my joined fanlistings to my collective.

Although perhaps that's misleading. Ever since I put my collective on its own domain, it had been a slow process of re-adding my joined links from the old script I used (Flinx) to the new one (Enth). Since there had been something like 1,500 links on my Flinx, it was always going to take a while. But when I shifted hosts in January of '07, I accidently deleted the database the old script was using. My bad. So I had to make the decision to go through every category at TheFanlistings.Org all over again, joining and adding FLs and links, plus updating or deleting links that had moved or disappeared.

As I said, slow process.

But it's finished. Finally finished! And we round out at 1,288! Less than it used to be, since the network's been on something of a decline over the past year, but still a substantial number! Joy and rapture! Of course, that number is always going to fluctuate as I add new FLs or delete old ones, but just the fact that I only have to watch the updates feed from now on is such a relief.

Oh, and I almost forgot! I revamped the 'Labyrinth' fanlisting! Looks so much better than it used to. So glad I finally got rid of the old layout, even if it did take three years. *innocent look*

Feel free to get in touch if you need anything or just want to say ahoy!

Haha, woops, I done did it again. Not quite three months this time. Well, I suppose it could be worse. Somehow. :D

Just a short update, I'm afraid. A new addition to my 2008 Reading List today: 'Twlight' by Stephenie Meyer!

An extremely well picked birthday present from my darling Kara that I had been planning to read after the last book in 'The Wheel Of Time' series, but having been inundated with all these icons and teaser images and news segments regarding the upcoming movie, I had a rabid urge to read it one morning before going to sleep (yes, my sleeping habits are entirely questionable).

So I devoured the thing in about 7 hours flat with only a couple of short toilet breaks in between. XD

I really, really liked it, can you tell?

Anyway, that's all for now. You'll probably hear from me again soon, as I'm currently overhauling one of my fanlistings, and I'll post here when it's done. :) Ciao, guys! Remember, I always love to hear from you!
