Gratituous post on the new decor.

[katster]

Okay.

I've spent way too much work on it, and it's not *quite* done to satisfaction, but it's close enough.  I'm rather proud of this, because I hacked the stylesheet to get the look just right.  There's one last little bit waiting on a convo with the style creator, and one bit that's waiting on me to change colours on everybody on my friends list.  (When I started up LJ, I assigned garish colours to people.  I'm now standardizing on a gold on dark blue, which goes with my journal colour scheme.  Yes.  Even the Stanford people have to deal with those colours.)

Speaking of Stanford, I made a large concession to my boyfriend tonight.  I said, "If you want to apply to Stanford for your Ph.D, I think I'll be okay with that."  This is a *large* concession, for those who know me.  Of course, he's going to stick with his top two choices in US schools -- Harvard and Berkeley. :)

Anyway, I'm through the letter e, only 21 more letters to go.  I might do f before I sleep. 

Other than that, the room cleaning is going well, if slowly.  My mood seems to have mostly improved to, while not shiny happy people holding hands, at least well enough that i'm not snapping at people and crying at the drop of a hat.  My meds seem to work fast when I bother to take them.

What's new with all of you, the mostly silent contingent?

Nothing new

We're just sitting here silently, enjoying reading what's going on with our the one and only truly amazing katster, happy that everything is getting better for her.

I take it gold and blue are Berzerkeley colors?

Actually, I was considering applying to Stanford for my PhD, myself. I'd like to stay on this coast, but am a little concerned about research funding drying up at the UCs in the next couple of years. That and I might actually be interested in the energy/environmental programs they have there. And that Berkeley chem scares me.

Good to hear from you again.

New, new, new... Um... I'm updating the IN FAQ, slowly? I have gone through two of them. Including correcting a question which referred to "Krono's Impudite of Fate choir attunement on Celestials" or some such.

It made me weep.

?style=mine is my friend. I didn't even know you had a new color scheme until you mentioned it.

I'll be posting an update as to what's new with me in a moment...

Newness abounds: finishing my work term, and thereby school, trying to find a job so I can move out of my parent's basement (and in with a certain SO), 2/3 of the way through my brown belt test in karate, and it's actually sunny for the second day in a row.

Dig the new look. Double-dig the (familiar?) photo background.

Y'should.

It's the railroad trestle over Lake Redding Park, upstream from the Sundial Bridge. :)

I really liked the way the pic came out with bridge dark against the blue February sky, and the sunbeam stabbing down. I gave it more of a blue tint to match the page design, but the original is here.
