Lime Green, Busy Week
While a lime green cast is not what I would wish on a dog, it is better than massive (massively expensive) reconstructive surgery involving pins of the metal sort in the joint (the sort of thing endured by your sister). So I write to you Joe, a formal “Get Well Soon” card, wishing you the speediest of recoveries from your furniture inflicted mishap. I know the rough terrain of your home means bumps and bruises are unavoidable, but do try to avoid breaking bones in the future. If you do choose to continue as you have, however, I think you’ll be fine for a while because you and your sister have split the nine lives of a cat. You each get 4.5 - use them well.
This is a possible texture that will be used in the redesign of the site you are reading. Goodness knows when I’ll have time to redesign, but I have found that scanning in things (notebooks, books, drawings) is a great way to expand my design horizons - it provides a very organic feel to the graphics, and it was a method that was employed heavily on the current layout you see here.
This week I will be busy taking tests, making one last try for a spring schedule, wrapping Christmas gifts (I will disclose gifts later), going to a Christmas concert at the Chapel, goinig to a Gala Sunday (dressing up, no less), and generally trying to sleep enough to stay alert and with the program. Who knows how that will pan out, but I will be sure to catch everyone here on the other side of this week. As always, feel free to give the comment system a workout (I am sure there are still bugs to figure out), and share what’s in store for you all between now and the Christmas break we all need.

I like the texture you have ^ up there. The organic look makes me happy! It is soothing on the eyes and pleasant to my brain. Is that possible? Can it be pleasant to my brain? Well if it can, it is.

I felt like I’ve fallen on that organic texture a couple of times in my summer life. lol.

nice texture, but i hope you would change it a little so that it’s not so bright, i like the soothing tones of the current page

Looks like your comments are working quite well. May I suggest that perhaps you show either how many or the first few on your main page (so as to attract more people to them).

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. That texture, if used at all, will be heavily edited so no need to worry! It is true, moving people and organic textures do not mix well.
I agree with your suggestion, Justin - I do plan on making a “this many comments have been left” informational thing when I have a moment to do it.
