It is effing snowing.
It was 70 degrees yesterday.
And now it is snowing.
It is effing snowing.
Fixed it
So I got the urge to fix some problems around the site between the time span of last night and right now:
David and I are going on a secret mission tonight.
On the secret mission
Secret mission has been indefinitely postponed. By indefinitely, I mean we're moving it to next weekend.
First New York, then West Palm Beach,...
Spring Break starts this coming Friday! I'm going to have so much free time.
My plans? First we were going to go to New York. Then instead we decided we would go to West Palm Beach for a weekend to see my favorite band, Eve 6. Then David's brother was going to have a crawfish boil in New Orleans over the weekend.
But now we're just going to stay in Atlanta. :)
So here is what I'm going to do over Spring Break, a list:
A small update
Sup.
I've been working on a new layout for the site, however, I usually do not state such things because it may very well be that I end up not publishing it at all.
Meanwhile, the refresh rate on my monitor is annoying me.
Fish and Music
I am looking at our fish, and it makes me sad because she needs more water in her bowl. I'm too afraid to change it.
There is a playlist of old videogame theme songs in my head right now, and I don't know how it got there. Tracks include selections from Kirby's Dream Land and Super Mario Bros. 3.
New layout - Version 2.0!
Well. I've finally made a new layout. It's been a long time coming, especially since the first layout didn't really count.
Anyway, I whipped this thing up over Spring Break. The colors are more in-line with something I would usually design (for some reason I hate using pink in my layouts), but I also noticed that the whole thing doesn't look very good on a laptop. Don't come here if you're on a laptop. Yet.
And now that I think about it, don't come here yet if you're using IE. I was a bad girl and haven't been checking compatibility as I went along. I don't think the image maps will work.
It also more strongly conforms to "normal" blogs, content-wise, which is what I was going for. (Note the sidebar stuff.)
Also, in case you were wondering, I never update my Flickr. ^^
So there are still some things that need tweaking (feel free to let me know if you find anything), but I figured I'd better go ahead and put this up before my busy schedule takes over my life. Otherwise it would never get done. :)
Anywho, it's time for bed. I have to get back to my regular sleep schedule.
Happy Easter!
Obviously.
OBVIOUSLY I know this website is hard to read for some people and not completely intuitive in the aspect of functionality. OBVIOUSLY I know that some people don't use Firefox. And OBVIOUSLY I know that I am completely disregarding some major standards, preferences, and design principles.
But I do what I want! This is my website for crying out loud, and I do what I freaking want. OBVIOUSLY when I'm designing websites for other people I adhere to all standards and principles. I've been designing websites for nine years. Obviously I know these things.
But this is my website, a place where I can design things however I want to without regard for anyone's level of vision or level of intuition for navigation made out of stars. I don't care if you read this or not.
And don't make me post at 9pm on a Friday night again. Because why am I sitting at my computer at 9pm on a Friday night?

Fixed it

So I got the urge to fix some problems around the site between the time span of last night and right now:
- The comments are now displayed for proper readability: they are numbered, and I formatted the date and time so normal people can read them.
- After you submit a comment, you now have the option of going straight back to the homepage, whereas before you were forced to view your comment. Haha.
- AND I FIXED THE SCROLLING ISSUE. Yay. That scrollbar was so annoying, no? Go ahead, click on any of the pages under archives. Take December 2007, for example. No scrollbars inside the content!!! *everyone is so excited*
David and I are going on a secret mission tonight.
