Well, I finally said the hell with it and hauled in the new look for my domain before it's 100% done. I've got a lot of loose ends to fix, and I hadn't planned on keeping all the different looking subdomains; I'd wanted everything to look a bit more contiguous, but that'll come later. In fact, this journal entry is going to be seeing double since I've got my LJ feed linked to the main page of my site. I'm thinking of giving my journal layout a similar makeover.
And if you're wondering why I went with the rainbow-black-blue theme, if you ever saw my site before this new overhaul, you'll understand why. Black on white. White rice and boiled chicken. I've seen tax audit forms with more color than my old page. I've been starved for color. And darkness. Black is good since it fits with about 75% of my subdomains.
Nostalgia: Remember your first webpage? Yeah, the one with neon green links and super-lossy JPEGS and random anime GIFs all over the place? Of course it had a black background. Black is a safe color for beginners. Then you get older and decide to "come into the light" and at least pretend to be all design-savvy and sauve like all the PHP pricks, and then after a while you realize that you were having more fun with the kids, so you regress and join them again. I believe this is called the Midlife Crisis of Web Designers.
Closing statement: Made a new music video. Started last night and finished this morning. Fastest one I've made yet. Of course it looks awesomely horrible on YouTube, but until I get it uploaded to Vimeo you can check it out in HD (but even that sucks). A Weirdsville fanvid, a relatively unknown film with relatively unknown music, ngk. Don't let Assemblage 23's angsty soundtrack fool you--the film's a comedy. I just picked out the serious parts. Speaking of which, new fandom in the house y'all. No doubt in my mind who my muse is anymore.
