Journal Thoughts  My desk gets cluttered with dishes.  Hercules plates are a favorite.  Well, back during the days of mourningdove and the black format, I said I'd like to have more fun with color.  I think my playfulness with it of late qualifies.  Actually the naviforklift looks a little odd to me cuz it's just blue.  Just the same blue it's been for awhile now.  I like it, but it may need changing.  I dunno.      The green page may need some more tweaks.  I have gotten negative comments about the wideness of the webrings portion of the filmstrip, and I already know how confusing all those arrows are.  I dunno how to fix it though.  May have to ditch the graphical navigation completely and go with text, which bugs me cuz I have no control over the viewer's settings, and therefore over the ultimate dimensions of the tables.      Just thumbing through the old entries, it's amazing how different things get.  Looks like some adjusting is going on all the time, or was, until the blue format.  That one was just so comfy, it stuck for awhile.      Glancing at the muted tv, I see an xray of a woman's foot encased in your standard everyday pump, and it makes me wonder...why aren't shoes foot shaped???  Her toes are being warped all to hell, what is this?  And I realize there is nothing odd at all about her foot, my foot is shaped much the same way.  It's the shoe.  All pointy and stuff.  Yeah yeah, this is stuff I've known for awhile, in fact everytime I wear any of the doofus shoes I get reminded.  So why am I stupid enough to wear them?  Why are manufacturers stupid enough to make them?  Why is the pointy toed look with the point near the middle of the front of the foot, rather than near the big toe, such a popular aesthetic?  Why, why, why???      Yeah, this is not the sort of soul searching that Journal Windows specified as a criterion for membership heh.      My counter tells me people read.  My email box tells me people don't write.  Hmmmm.  Good thing I am in this journal thing for me, otherwise I'd be freaking over just what these facts mean.  I do notice that my entries just aren't as creative now that my life is not a living hell.  Oh well.  Given the choice, I'd rather live nicely and have a boring journal.  I know some folks who would choose the other way, but that's them...      I really gotta quit reading so much of other people's journals.  In addition to the four out front whose journals I read at every update, there are a few more that I read that religiously, though I haven't read them long enough to feel comfortable asking if I may plaster thier faces all over my splash just yet.  These would be Firedrake's off c e n t e r and Evan's Why? as well as Dave Siegel's My Journal.  Then there's the set of journals I check up on every now and then.  That list is massive, and growing longer every day.  These are marvelous works, and that's the problem.  I am not getting as much work done.      Soap operas are a lot more interesting when the tv is muted.  Create your own story.  For example, on "All My Children" the guy with the grey hair just gave Brown Coverall Guy a roll of duct tape without which he may not appear on "The Red Green Show."  BCG was not nearly grateful enough, though, he may yet jump off that roof.  I think he doubts the tape's validity as a backstage pass.  Red Green is his ultimate hero, and such a near miss with that kind of fame might drive him over the edge.  Meanwhile, Red Vest Woman was considering buying a used car from an acquaintance, but he just told her the price and she hit him in the face.  As usual, all the cool people are hanging out in the hospital.  Actually they are art students doing research for an upcoming show called "Faces of Coma."  Soap opera hospitals have lots of potential subjects for this.      Course, the way I am watching today, a lot gets missed.  Like I just saw Orange Jacket Chick fall off BCG's roof and missed her arrival.  ---Entry Abruptly Terminated.  Timeout.-- -- Spring  link o' the day: RADIO WHFS 99.1 FM
