New Layout, the Weather, and a New Song
After more than a year, this web site finally has a new layout not based on the same structure as the original layout. I call it Abstract because the images I used consist of abstract shapes. I know. Not a very creative title. I also don’t know how much I like this new layout, so for now, I’m just leaving it open as an option for you guys. Just go under themes in the sidebar, and select Abstract to view it. There are still some unfinished aspects of this layout. Most obviously, there isn’t a footer image. Also, the links at the top seem a bit plain. I also need to make an image for the submit/save button. I did test this on both Firefox 2.0 and IE 7.0, though I like it better in Firefox. There are some minor differences in appearance. So, tell me what you like and don’t like about it, and possibly something that can be improved.
Also, I’ve been thinking…well, I haven’t really been thinking. I’ve been busy with academia. I’m at a loss for things to write about in my current state. I mean, there are plenty of things to write about, yet I feel no topic are worthy of being written about at the current moment. There’s plenty in terms of anime, to write about but I’m sure many of you wouldn’t be interested in reading about anime. My state of mind is on anime and academia, neither of which are interesting topics for general viewers.
It snowed a lot on Thursday, I experienced a snow day on Friday. This is interesting because we had two snow days last year as well. Yet before then, there was more than a twenty year gap between the last snow day we’ve had. Also, on Wednesday, the tempurature dropped like 50 degrees Fahrenheit from morning to night. It was so warm during the day time that some people were wearing t-shirts. Then later there were blistering bitter cold winds that blew so strongly I could hardly breathe or keep my eyes open. The good thing about all the snow we received, aside from having a snow day, is that it covered all the ugly muddy snow that was melting previously. Now there’s a fresh blanket of pure white. I dislike snow when it gets all muddy. Also I dislike walking in a building and making and seeing puddles of muddy tracks everywhere. Yet I have the tendency to forget to sufficiently wipe my feet on the mat before entering a building so my dorm room sometimes has murky water on the tiled floor.
Also, I’ve been trying to find a new song to learn, one I can easily memorize yet is also interesting melody wise and lyric wise. I haven’t found one though. Right now I’m listening to Chi Xin Jue Dui by Li Sheng Jie. I don’t understand a small majority of the words, but it sounds nice anyways. Maybe if I saw the lyrics I’d understand more of the song. Better yet, if I had an English translation of the song, I’d understand it even more. I think the title means absolute senseless/foolish mind/heart, or something of the effect. Okay nevermind. I was completely off. I just looked up the translation, and it means Surely Infatuated. It’s a sweet song. I think I’ll try to learn it.

I like the new layout! Plus green and blue are my favourite colours ;). I hate when I have no topic to blog about. It’s like my mind goes blank or something. If you ever need a topic, you can always get your creative juices going by searching something random things on the internet. We had to look at different pictures on google of different colours in art class once, and I got really inspired :).
I quite like the technological-esque aspect of the new layout — I haven’t been ’round very often to know, but the last time I saw one done in such a style was years ago! I also love how in the background/border of the post/content is directly opposite that of the splash.
But I’m not too big on the “rounded” edges of the boxes, that’s all. 
I’ve always been particularly envious of missing school due to snow — down here, we only ever get school canceled if the weather reaches 45* at 9AM — which never happens, granted.
I think I prefer the classic layout, I dont know why, maybe I’m a sucker for having the sidebar at the side! I honestly thought you’d forgotten to put it in!!
Your new layout looks great! I do like it a lot! You should definitely put this layout as the default one.
But anyways, I love snow! Surprised that you would only get two days of snow, but I hope you enjoyed it!! Ach… I suck at learning and remembering lyrics unless they’re from songs I truly and really like… but I only remember Gospel songs mainly, and Mariah Carey and Celine Dion… hehehe
Hey, I like the layout. It’s very classy. Very nice.
Snow is awesome. Though, I agree. Snow that is muddy is not pretty. I love snow that hasn’t been plowed yet. Before people have managed to get out of there houses. When it’s just a blanket across the land. It’s very awesome.
The song sounds really pretty! Good luck on learning it!
Oooh~ I love the layout ;D It’s very very creative!
By the way, Happy Chinese New Year
Wow, I think all layouts are lovely but I do have to admit I really like the classic one because I just prefer there being a sidebar at the side, I guess I am just used to it! It only snowed for a day over here but it was so light, I love snow but yes muddy snow is not nice.
I love your new layout! I really, really like it! I’m glad you got to experience a snow day. Those are always lots of fun.
penny dai (dai pei ni) = w00t in case you were looking for good artists
“There’s plenty in terms of anime, to write about but I’m sure many of you wouldn’t be interested in reading about anime” - imho the topic isn’t of importance, but the voice behind them. write away!
“I dislike snow when it gets all muddy.” - tainted innocence =(
