SITE REDESIGN
Howdy folks! I know it looks a lot different around here, but sometimes style must be sacrificed for responsiveness. Honestly, I was feeling too much pressure to keep up with the previous "look" to the point I haven't updated in... well, far too long. On the bright side, this means I'll be able to keep track of things here more regularly without fear of breaking everything constantly. Also, hopefully, this update means my friends can view this on their phones without thinking I'm an insane person. Hooray! Greetings, Friends From Real Life, if you're reading this.
(I promise they exist.)
Anyway, I finally figured out (I hope) CSS Grids (read: dedicated 2 minutes to actually read one webpage), and it turned out to be incredibly simple. I was avoiding this for absolutely no reason. It's certainly less of a hassle than how I was using flexbox. The lack of color is also new. I'm not sure if that will be well-recieved, or if anyone actually cares. If you do, don't worry. I'm still interested in making wacky pages like I had before, I just want to make sure they're not held together with paperclips and hope.
On a more personal note, as of writing this here welcome blurb I'm fighting the urge to publish this update unfinished. Not in the, "well every website is constantly a work in progress" way, but in the "I'm sick of doing things without the immediate gratification that comes with uploading it to the internet" way, which is definitely an urge I need to learn to deal with. Honestly it's caused me enough problems to date that I should be able to let the thought pass by unbothered by now.
Unfortunately I'm this way about a lot of things. For example, recently I've realized I need to keep creative projects extremely private until I'm nearing the finish line, but I really really don't want to do that. The only alternative seems to be never making the damn thing, though, so I'll suck it up.
Okay, okay, I gave in a little. It's basically ready to put out into the world. I'll be adding back my book and game reviews shortly, as well as adding new fragrance, tv, and movie reviews. Well, probably less "reviews" and more... experiences. I'm not very good at reviews.
Also, feel free to let me know on my profile, but should I add more texture? Maybe a paper texture background here... more patterns?
... Fuck. I just realized I forgot to redo my graphics hoard. Well, look forward to that too. I'm sleepy.
