QUICK ENTRY TO GET IT OVER WITH.

I promised lover an entry on something, but this insufferable heat has been keeping me from properly organizing my thoughts. Everyday, when I wake up, I ask myself: have I died and gone to hell? Cos it sure is hot today! Gatdamn!

It’s summer, my favorite season. Back in college this meant the beach, drinking sprees, and out-of-town trips. This year, it seems like I’m going to spend summer in the city, getting ridiculous farmer tans from having to walk fully-clothed under the sun. Not happy.

I’ve been meaning to change layouts (the same way I’ve been meaning to work on a theme for helgaweber.com) and I came up with this 5-10 minute thing last Monday (I wanted something summer-y):

Except I can’t seem to work a header/theme around it. Fail.

My code needs cleaning, too. It was so much easier to work on shit with coffee and cigarettes and in my underwear.

You can’t tell, but I’m RRY frustrated.

I’VE BEEN HIT BY THE BLOGGING LAZIES.

Two awesomazing Photoshop actions:

WHAT?! A NEW LAYOUT, AGAIN???

This is what I’d like to call “Web 2.0 meets Angelfire circa ‘98″. The main colors are Web 2.0 (Flickr pink, Mozilla blue, Minutesinaminute dark teal, Lastfm crimson, Shadows gray, Qoop mint, Youtube tomato etc etc), while everything else is reminiscent of everything that sucks about the innurnets.

It’s definitely too colorful and there’s something about it that I don’t like that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like, the green links in the sidebar’s too blah and dead. Suggestions? Comments?

I liked the last one better (something about the dark brown and green that was…uh, soothing) but I missed having a sidebar.

Now that this is out of the way, I no longer have an excuse to keep putting off working on my final project for web animation class (which is a 30-second Flash web intro. I mean, COME ON!!! Splash pages and intros are so 2001). Will start working on that tomorrow, even though that means I’ll be lugging Veronica Mars around the metro again.

Anyhoots, this was the first header I made for this layout:

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

It kinda hurt not using the coffee vector that I spent close to an hour making, but ducks > coffee.

That’s all.

And I refuse to test this on IE.

PS: Does anyone know how I can go about moving my Wordpress to my main domain? It’s currently on a ‘blog’ subdomain, but I want to change the URL (pronounced as ‘earl’, thanks to lover) to ditz-revolution.net. If that makes sense.

Edit//
I’ll be adding panties and more color to the sidebar, as Drew suggested that I make it more cartoon-y.

Drew: gawa ka cartoons ng mga panty na naguusap
Drew: hehehe or duckling na may tangaytangay na panty

Oh. And the comments colors. Totally slipped my mind.

OH, MY DEAREST. CANDLES!
