Zebra Style

It's almost quite pretty. Or rephrasing to better explain, it almost looks roughly as I had in mind.

I redesigned this blog at some point in the middle of the summer, and then failed terribly to implement my haphazard attempt at aesthetics. MT threw a bit of a fit at me, caomhin got whined at extensively, and then, fairly predictably, I gave up. I'd had my chance to do the fun bit, the mucking about with glue and paper and whatever random art materials I found easily to hand, and I was fairly happy to let the blog die in its second only-inches-away-from-default incarnation.

Now we're back to the point in the year at which I feel the need to rant excessively and frequently on the degenerate state of the stinking weather, and I find that the people I talk to in person are getting a little, shall we say, weary of the topic. Most of the personal blogs I used to read have gone the same way as this one, which I find sad.

Defunct. It's a brilliant word. The sound of it. De-funct. Funked.

The combination of these factors and fair level of boredom has resulted in me fiddling about with this place again. I figured, if I messed it all up and the page ended up looking like a Picasso with leprosy then it didn't really matter because - defunct. But I think it's turned out rather well, at least in terms of what I set out to do...

Shame about the sidebar. It hangs by a thread, a casualty of the surgery. I hereby attach a "fix me" label to it.

Edit: So apparently it only looks relatively half-way decent if you have a freaky widescreen resolution. Blah.
