I tell you what, never watch a philosophical and cerebral movie with your dad right after he’s just arrived from a really long drive. Never suggest how your girfriend can improve the project she’s been working on all day. She only wants your praise and adulation. Thirdly, always test a pulgin that blocks certain content from certain people with the least irksome material you can think of. Irksome: today’s word of the day.
Currently in a state of trasition, as you can obviously tell.

I’ve never been a bettin’ man, but if I was I’d hedge my bets in ma’ own favor.
For the day draws nigh when I shall set upon the world a sight which it hast never before borne witness to, a site whose time hast come, a site so unlike any other it can be called by naught but its own name: WordGlot.
Thou shalt see. All of thou.
Indeed, I can practically see the classes begin to file in, sense the navigation gain direction, while the floating divs become more bouyant and springy along with the nonsensical metaphors.
Launch in t-minus… 5… 4… 3…
uhh, could we start back from 100, Curtis? I was just being a smartass and killing time between work.
Wow, that was an odd dream. I dreamt I had lots of comments, like 5-8 for each post, and none of them were spam. People genuinely were interested in my blog. Of course in this same dream my family and I were eating various stuffed pastries in a grocery store and we only paid for one kind. Dreams are frickin’ weird.
What does that mean? It means people, including myself, like nice comments. That’s only natural—social cratures, you know. Don’t get me wrong I have never done this because of the huge public demand for another personal blog. I’ve done it cause I felt like it. Just—please someone leave a comment besides my dad, ok?
Been working on it the last few days; it actually gives me something to do. A feeling of productivity is difficult to have in college especially when you’re the kind of student I am. Bear in mind this is a work-in-progress. Version 0.3.
The most elegant photo I’ve found on Flickr (today).

Today, I’m going to do my blog layout. Honestly I don’t know if I’m going to get it done, but I’m going to try. I was lying in bed and an idea came to me. I intend to develop it.
A lot will be like before:
Symbol in the upper-right corner. Top black bar with title “Wordglot.” Grid, colored, drawn down the side.
Here’s what’s new:
Layers within the grid. Top layer is actual black square grid. Lines maybe altogether 2-4 inches wide or 15% of page. Next layer is in the top-left. Translucent single-colored squares, appearing randomly placed and thinning as they descend. Below these is the bottom layer, which is determined by the post category. Unique images for every category.
Possible issues:
Aligning the images to properly fall at the left-most edge while still having post fall beside it. Matching up the category images so they don’t end inside squares; they change underneath the gridlines. Proper translucency tapering for colored squares. Possible issues with the cat_images plugin that allows custom images for every category.
I’ll post an image of the draft when I come up with it. Why? Because I can, that’s why.
I’d just like to say, may God Bless Jason Kottke.
I am sooo far from doing this as a full-time thing it’s not even funny.
