Seriously, half of the blogs that I read all the time have rolled out a new layout within the last two weeks or so. I’ve been gumming around with ideas for about a month, but couldn’t get anything I really liked. I’d been playing around with a free theme (until it looked completely different, I might add!), but dealing with other people’s coding drives me absolutely batty. I like everything to be just so and this certainly wasn’t.

Today after work, I had inspiration, and here you go. Paisley. I guess that’s how I operate… I’ve got to just keep going from the minute I get the idea to start working, or I slack off and find something more interesting to do. I’ve still got some tweaking to do (don’t go in too deep, just yet, and seriously, why are you using IE anyway?), but I’m pretty happy with it this time around.

That’s right. I’ve got a “real life” project this week: my bedroom.

No, I’m serious. I have no idea how it happened… my room usually stayed mostly neat. Maybe not the most exciting of rooms, but not a total mess. Over the last couple of months or so, it’s been getting steadily worse and worse… messy and cluttered and unorganized, as well as thoroughly uninteresting.

Let me turn around and make a quick survey of my room. Oh goodness, I don’t know if I want to do that again. I’ll try and describe it to you because I’m not going to embarrass myself with photos. (more…)

New theme. No, calm down, I didn’t make it, but I’ve been tweaking it and will continue to tweak it. I don’t care if you like it or not. It works pretty well and I’ll make it work better, so keep your shirt on. Plus, it’s pretty.

I’m also going to be actually working on Melilyn this week. I’ve got a photo section that’s up but needs to match the site, and I’ve revamped the “about” and “site” pages. I want to get writing up really soon, and I’m also thinking about adding book/movie reviews… since I read and see movies so often.

In other news, I fail at blogathons.

In other other news, I’ve waited a week before telling you all but… I got a guitar! I’ll have to get a picture up here to show you my new baby. I’m having a lot of fun with it so far, too, even though it’s had its discouraging moments so far. I’ve been getting a lot of encouragement, and I’ve already had a few moments of whoa, was that actually music?

That’s what I’ve been up to.
