I'm happier, now.
Okay, so I changed the template AGAIN. I had the little orange stars, but they were hideously annoying -- I got a very very funny email from David V. asking if I was mad at my readers... so this design was a close second. I like it; it's plain, and not hard to read, and doesn't have little orange stars...What do you think of this one? Or if you want to give me idiot-proof instructions on how to make my own background, let me know. I'm HTML-impaired, though, so be warned.
I'm in a better mood today. I have high hopes that the moving van reservation won't get too screwed up, and I just talked my way out of going to a meeting I didn't want to attend. And it's stopped raining.
I don't really have much to talk about, now that I've cheered up. I'm still reading Motherless Brooklyn, and it's still excellent. I think I'm putting off finishing it because I don't want to be done reading it. The thing is, the storyline isn't really that good -- it's very confusing, and I keep losing track of who's working for who, and who's a bad guy and who's a good guy. But I like the main character immensely -- he's a sort of a detective, and he has Tourette's Syndrome. The story suffers, I think, because the author spends so much time fleshing out the main character, Lionel. That's really not a bad thing -- Lionel is a fascinating character. He's funny, and a bit sad, and I want the book to continue because I want to know what happens to him. I only have a few pages left -- the mystery is resolving itself, and the loose ends are coming together.
I just had a phone call from someone who wanted me to go to a different department, find his friend, and give him a phone message. Um, no.
I'm going to take a little break and go stand in the sunshine now...
