I'm an ADD idiot

So you might have noticed that the pretty layout that I used to have is kind of gone.

You see I use Blogger "In Draft" so that I have a spellcheck on my posts and so I can have pages. The other day that opened up customizable layouts, for those of us who don't want to learn the ins and outs of programming for Blogger. I was really excited and started playing with it because the old layout didn't have big enough sidebars for anything, they were just an odd size.

So after playing for awhile I saved. Then I remembered that I had to add the Analytics code again, and soon I have fix the title image. Too much f-ing trouble. I'm busy with finishing my current writing project, starting Screnzy, hopefully having interviews that require a great deal of traveling, my niece/nephew being born, and I'm sure more shit will pop up.

So long March, you sucked. April, show March how it's done.

New and Improved

Since my last post I've done two things-

• I've changed the logo above to an image that matches the background
• I've reworked the AoC Writing Blog to the AoC Design Blog.

The first one lead to the other. I wanted to make this site prettier, which is kind of hard to do on Blogger, so I opened Photoshop and got to it. several minutes later I came out with the beauty above.

Now I do make rounds to all of my websites everyday, including my portfolio, and even IU. So I have been looking at the writing blog for awhile and trying to figure out what to do there. I already had this blog here for personal use and I didn't want to put this one on my "professional" domain. It wasn't until I started working on the logo for AoC Design that I realized that I could use that site as a way to encourage myself to do more art. I do actually have my dA account still, but as I've mentioned before it depresses me to go over there, not to mention it is a social networking site and those things really give me a headache.

In other news my back hurts like hell. I think I wasn't using my right arm much because of the wrist thing and I'm feeling it now. Or it was the cortisone shooting up my arm, either way - ow. Still working on the new novel. Still behind, but after NaNoWriMo the numbers are so small and meaningless.

Later,

Gadgets

I keep looking at the gadget options hoping that there will be something cool in there. There isn't. I feel gypped. I don't know what I want but it should be awesome and I should be able to find it easily. Most of them have expired or died, etc and dammit, I paid absolutely nothing for this blog so it should come with hundreds of working gadgets. The worst are the ones that don't even have a title. I don't know what I'm missing. They could be awesome, I'll never know.

I'm really bored.
