The masses are never appeased...
So I've received a few (three, to be exact) complaints on various aspects of the appearance of this page, and since three was the arbitrary number that I came up with as far as "threshold of complaints received before action is taken", I've decided to expand my recent experimentation to include background and font colors. Let's see if this doesn't work better.
Chatted with Pearlie today, for the first time in a couple months probably. Told her about this page, and she dutifully read a bit of it right then and offered the following thoughts:
-Apparently, reading it is just like talking to me, because:
--I write just like I talk, and that is to say it's extremely tangental and rambly
--Tangental and rambly is OK because it ends up being funny
--I'm REALLY verbose
--I nag in my blog
--I digress more
--Then I go on and on and on some more
--The digressions are usually about a) strippers, or b) hotties of some other variety
-It's not better than talking to me in that reading is more work and she still prefers verbal.
-The text/background color combo hurts her eyes, despite her bitchin' 21" flat panel display.
OK, let me get right on those points... ;)
Talked to BOS Amy (now ATL Amy), she needed some HTML-type guidance for her MySpace profile...I gave her a couple pointers (it only took 30 *&%$#@ minutes to explain what she needed to do, due to technical difficulties and limitations of the AOL messaging system (specifically, their insistence that :/ was a smiley and not a colon slash)). It all ended up being worthwhile in the end though, as she got her weird little game thingie photo posted, and her incessantly annoying seagulls chant embedded...end result is that I've apparently been promoted to "my hot sexy Gene". Sweet. She still won't sleep with me though, alas...
This week is dragging on and on and on, what gives? Partied Monday, so by all rights, it should have been a short week...especially since there are some semblance of Friday plans, so ostensibly, I've only got three days in the middle to muddle through. I'm bored out of my skull! Grr!
