Whoops. Oh shit. <span style="font-style: italic;">(I squint and attempt to downplay how horrible the color I have chosen as my background is. I stare at the screen. Is it pulsing at me?)</span> Geez. That should make my eyeballs fall out onto the floor and roll around looking for an escape. Hmmm. <span style="font-style: italic;">(I engage in a round of random acts of typing by punching a bunch of keys on my keyboard. Nothing.) </span>Yeah, um, this can be fixed, right? <span style="font-style: italic;">(I grimace. After further evaluation I deduce that my background color is the exact color of a brain that is hemorrhaging. No more Discovery channel for me)</span>. I am thinking a nice mellow, depressing grey may be a bit better. <span style="font-style: italic;">(With a shudder I flick the remnant's of my last blog color off my foot and continue stomping through the unfamiliar land of a new blog website for the color palette.)</span><br> <br> This is absurd. I can barely make this work. I didn't just fall off the truck yesterday, you know. I am an adult (well, sometimes.) So, I will get this working and then the blogging will commence.<br> <br>
