It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed up through an entire night without any sleep—usually I just end up crawling into bed exhausted between three and five in the morning, like it’s routine—but I did it last night, and managed it all without getting anything done.
Haha.
There are still boxes, and I still have to move some things around to make them fit better/look nicer, but at least everything is here. I have plants, too… although that one looks kind of wilted.
These past few days since my migration from Livejournal have been spent getting everything on my domain pages in order—from getting rid of old and useless files, to creating new ones, archiving and formatting. If I’m going to migrate, I’m going to do it fully, and I’m going to do it correctly.
This is something in the vein of what Cendri said earlier today, only I’m a bit more fired up about it, because it is specific and now it is widespread. You see, not a few hours after I’d suggested some very good resources to her, I saw something on the television that really infuriated me.
I don’t watch much television. It’s on much of the time in my house, but usually behind me while Joe is watching it, and I’m here, typing away. But when I’m winding down from the day, and Johnny is tuckering himself out on the floor with his toys, I can stand to turn it on for a bit. It’s usually food or travel, or science, or satire. Yes, I get my news from Comedy Central. Don’t look down on me, asshole.
Amidst all of this Internet chaos and moving things around, I’ve also been undergoing some other serious changes. For one, we’ve just moved from a house into an apartment. The new place is very spacious and a friggin’ steal for what we’re paying, but I still have the urge to throw away a lot of things. I’m a minimalist, though you wouldn’t know it from looking at the clutter on my computer desk. I like things to be simple, neat and presentable. I don’t know from whence I picked that one up, given that my dad’s a bit of a packrat and my mom’s probably got mail from a year ago sitting around the house. But while I’m trying to figure out the nicest-looking layout for my furniture and how to best accommodate guests, I’m also throwing out a lot of things from my wardrobe. I’ve discovered I have too many books to fit on the only bookshelf I wanted to save, but I refuse to get rid of books, because I do hang onto the written word like a fiend, even my old high-school literature notes. What? They’ll come in handy someday, just wait and see.
Darknightdestiny.com is getting a facelift. Much like the Vin-Tifa shrine (Beneath the Stitching), I’m going to throw the links off to the left along with a media player, so that the screen doesn’t look so squished. I will probably go through several phases of adding and deleting pages as I go along, because I can’t decide right now what will stay and what will go. Will I mix my fan-art and my original art? I don’t know right now, though I can say that there’s a very small amount that I’m satisfied with, and for now I might as well.
