GEOCITIES used to be the place many people made their first website, but now it’s shutting up shop.
Yahoo announced it is closing GeoCities, a free service that hosts personal home pages, which it acquired 10 years ago during the dotcom boom.
The service, which became synonymous with early amateur websites and old-school animated images, is no longer accepting new customers and will be closing later this year.

even though I thought it was long dead too (LOL), it’ll be sad to see it go. i had my first website up at Geocities back around 1997 or so – it was the most exciting thing for me : picking out a neighbourhood, setting up my own place on the net, adding a billion animated GIF’s, making my text fluoro green …
ahhh the memories.
so news.com.au was reporting that Nicole Richie (who is no more than 5 months pregnant?) was looking ‘enormous’. see pic here.
niiice. she’s hardly enormous, for one. and i know it’s “the news”/gossip but surely there are nicer ways to say that someone seems to be showing early? it’s her second baby in as many years, i know i popped out earlier this time too but i was hardly enormous until maybe a week ago when i took up the whole aisle at woolworths when i stood sideways ..
bah, i’m just too sensitive at the moment LOL
just don’t go around telling people they’re enormous when they’re pregnant, ok? 😛 i think we all realise we’re bigger than we were last week, no need for the commentary on how we’re doing. we have eyes. just tell me i look great and give me that last slice of cake. there, wasn’t so hard was it?
i’m not known for being a bookworm – i prefer images to words myself 😉 so i missed the whole twilight book obsession.. but my sister and my mother were/are thoroughly caught up in it, so when i had the chance to see the movie, i thought i’d give it a go
well, i saw it. and yeah … lol. i think if i had a little teenage fangirl inside me, i’d be going nuts over Edward too but what’s with
– Peter Facinelli looking like he fell into a vat of baby powder. i know he’s undead and all, but my gosh put a colour rinse through your hair and get crazy with some bronzer at least. it’s 2009!
– Jasper’s permanent wide eyed stare (maybe that was just around Bella?). made me laugh for the wrong reasons 😛
– the movie going slower that this pregnancy – i thought i’d have the baby, then throw her first birthday party before the movie ended.
i did LOVE the Cullen’s house though – best of both worlds: modern, and secluded. seem’s like others love it too 🙂 it’s called The Hoke House and i want to steal it.. somehow.. not sure how actually.
i think instead of fawning over the vampires, i’m going to direct my undying lust to this house instead!!
