I’ve figured out why I have put this stupid “every blog post has to be of a certain length and high importance” thought into my head: the frame. I made every blog post have a freakin’ picture frame around it, and apparently this has caused me to not be able to post quick little unimportant blog posts… which is what I would like to do. The frame makes each post stand out. It makes each post an island. Alone. Scared. Paranoid. Not a part of the greater blog eco-system.

I want my blog to be a stream. Yes… some items can be long and more serious… but I want there to be a place for all of the little “Holy crap! Today I watched a movie and played with my rats and watched Mad Men with Heather!” posts.

Well… the new theme should fix that. It’s radical. It’s free flowing. It’s wooden. Yeah… kinda going for a Grand Californian / Arts and Crafts / Craftsman theme with it. Can’t wait to finally get it up. Should be soon. Hopefully.

Let’s do this. No more breaks… probably. Like I said before, I really needed to stop and take a chill pill. Personal blogging should not be stressful. Especially if you suck at it and aren’t trying to make any money off of it.

So I completely redesigned Heather and Adam are Totally Rad! Instead of using Dreamweaver templates and static html, I went with my beloved WordPress. I customized the design by styling a child Thematic WordPress theme. I’m really happy with the result. It’s not nearly as busy as the last site, but it still is pretty freakin cool looking IMO. I even snuck in some of the dreaded Comic Sans font. Take that, professional graphic designers! Don’t worry though… the logo is in Helvetica. Calm down.

Anyway. Just posting to let all of you know that I totally love Google Chrome! It is most definitely a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious web browser!

Also… I really like WordPress Version 2.6. Very nice! 

I love life. But not Sarah Palin. She can go fall off a cliff.
