Mergers & Acquisitions
What I wanted to do was to update my blogroll.
What I ended up doing... well, you can see for yourself. I just can't tear myself away from Blogger's Layout page.
To be perfectly honest, that's also why I put up my side blogs which I never update. It's really to play around with my limited design skills. It's also supposed to present variety to my blogging but knowing me, I'm not too consistent with blogging anyway.
So I've decided to abandon my side blogs altogether and gather the material right here instead. Kind of like a consolidation exercise.
At the same time I've updated my sidebar with a little bit more stuff. Green links, to appease the guilt of my capitalist soul. Labels, because I just like label clouds. I'm keeping an eye for a good widget to display current reads, listens, etc. Any suggestions?
I'm also experimenting with Twitter (yes, I'm now officially a Twit), to see if I can go anywhere with it. At the very least, for those times when I'm too uninspired to blog, I could twit up a random line. Theoretically.
Sort of like blogging, except unplugged and running low on battery.
And yes, while doing all that, I rearranged the furniture. And put up a new sign.
Oh. Wasn't I supposed to clean up my place instead of my blog? And aren't my parents arriving very soon? Like, in an hours time?
Looks like I got the family activity for the day mapped out. Let me just go stash my porn first.

Update 2 Sep: OK, so the banner isn't as colorful as before. How about the one below then? A little bit of the previous banner, a little bit of the new one, and a little bit of the blogspirit one :P
Let me know!

nice. have a fun time with ya family. ;o)
Ah the family visit. Time to clean your room, hide all the gay porn and keep the pictures of boys, boys and more boys.
Interesting layout but I miss your colourful banners. Perhaps that banner of me, myself and I?

yeahlah..ur rainbow not very colorful aredi...
anyway, how can you start something when trying to upkeep a blog is hard as it is....
never hide your dvds or mags under the bed. it get warped. learnt that the hard way...
danielhenry:
sure will :-)
savante:
Hehe. I just thought he previous banner was starting to look a little drab.
thompsonboy:
You think so too? Maybe I should bring back the banner from my first blog - that's the most colorful one I've had :P
Anyway, it's kinda hard to keep up with blogging since it takes time and effort to shape your thoughts into a coherent post. Twittering, as I'm finding out, is like a lazy blog - just fill it with short, random comments.
Kit:
LOL. You sleep on your porn?
Family visit!? I stayed with family. So, family visit me everyday!
Interesting though to see your blog with terms from songs... like the rainbow connection?!
literally yes. but that was a long time ago. now i proudly tell my parents about belami and falcon titles. hahaha. i love watching the expressions on their faces.
ryan:
Don't you mean you visit your family everyday? ;-)
Yep yep. It's one of my favourite songs. I remember Kermit the Frog singing that song with his banjo. Hehe

O.M.G.
Love the blog banner and make over. Real nice. :)
keep the current one...
Umm, the new banner, take the real picture in the background, do a sun rising style with lines and use paint livebucket to paint with the desire colours.
New banner on 2 sept is cute. Though I would drop the green rainbow bit :P
Thanks guys, for the feedback.
Brian, interesting idea but sounds a bit too complicated for my limited photshopping skills :P
I'm thinking I'd rather drop the background instead, savante. Looking at it again, it really is just the old banner with some added bits and I'm kinda tired at looking at that pic, pretty as it is.
So, Queer Ranter and b, it's gonna be the current one then.
For now.
(Sorry, thompsonboy, guess I'm not making Mimi so proud now)
:P
