new site; and, I look like a food
I worked on the coding for my other new site all weekend and I think it’s good enough to go see:
YAY whoopie fireworks sparks!!! (note to my sister: where have you heard that before? XD)
I’ll be putting all my photography/concert/events work over there instead of here. There might be some overlap but it’s really two different target audiences so I thought it better to have two separate sites.
Still have to figure out a few things. I’d like a little more blank space overall, and more space between the content area and the sidebar. Also want to reduce the opacity on the background image, or change it. The header (the image at the top) is still not to my liking. I don’t like the hard defined edges and don’t know what that faint orange line is on the bottom. Then I need to figure out how to generate a thumbnail page in html so that people who don’t have or can’t access Flash for some reason (some employers disable it) can still view the pictures. Then I think I can store those pages on my server but not have them show on the site unless someone clicks on the open-this link.
I have narrowed down some choices on a new theme for this hideous page and hope to have it up soon. I probably won’t customize it as much as I did the other site.

Today I am wearing brown pants in a kind of fake Ultrasuede fabric and a black velvet tank top with a brown velvet shirt over it. This did not strike me as strange until I got a glimpse of myself in the mirrored elevator … and discovered I look like a giant cocoa-dusted truffle. Not quite as round, but definitely a truffle. Well it could be worse, I could be wearing that salmon-colored très Miami Vice jacket I bought in 1987 and be looking exactly like a circus peanut. Make that still be looking like a giant circus peanut, since I wore that jacket many times and I am sure I was truly as ridiculous in it as I think I was, now that I have the benefit of years of fashion experience to realize this, and a buffer of many years of black clothes, since the days when people dressed in multiple shades of hideous pastels. Bleah.
To resemble a truffle is not so bad by comparison.
