Meta: Design Flaw

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

There are things I like about this template, but ultimately, is the black background annoying? Do the smallish white words strobe against the black? Or do I just need my glasses, and maybe spend less time looking at it?

I’ll be trying out different themes too, and probably breaking the HTML trying to get them to do what I want. I love tinkering!

One Weekend, Please

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

For too long, I’ve been running on E, and filling my creative and emotional tank with just enough to get by. When faced with taking a weekend completely off from email, work, even the keyboard, I find myself unsure and a little bit defensive. Nothing wrong with my hobbies and business aspirations.

See where that’s heading? Last weekend, even though I had been sick, I spent about 14 hours at the keyboard… which is nearly TWO working days. And that would be ….. NO WEEKEND. Well, a weekend spent in this chair. Maybe it was interesting, maybe I made a few dollars. But that’s no weekend.

Holidailies - A Month of Encouragement

Holidailies 2007

I have signed up for Holidailies. It involves a month of posts during a pivotal time of year… I don’t want to revisit all the angst and drama from last year, so I’m starting fresh in a new blog. I mean, *new*. I have barely kicked the tires here, so expect the templatey goodness to give way to badly kludged goodness.

And I might post some in the other blog too… if I do, I’ll post here for that one. I don’t like being several places at once, but that seems to be where I am. Blog limbo is not a fun place to be, but it is creative.
