I’m not so good at this color thing…. and I really love the maroon red/black combo, which presents very limited options. Apologies if I’m killing anyone with ugliness as I experiment and try to figure out a look.

I added the “Currently Reading” space today and hadn’t anticipated it being so roomy…. At first it seemed kind of cool to put in a little publisher’s blurb about the book, but I’m thinking maybe it’s a bit cheesy now. Not sure what I’ll do with that. As well, it makes everything load noticeably slower… so maybe it’s not even worth it. But on the plus side I learned a bit of very cool CSS and PHP while playing around with the code and implementing it.

Edit: I think I’ve decided to change the publisher’s blurb to a personal impression.

“Good Riddance Attention Whore” | Chlorophyll 2008/11/13
I am deemed a radical because I believe that partisan politics should left to the wayside when hundreds of thousands of people are dying for a war based on lies that is supported by Democrats and Republican alike. It amazes me that people who are sharp on the issues and can zero in like a laser beam on lies, misrepresentations, and political expediency when it comes to one party refuse to recognize it in their own party. Blind party loyalty is dangerous whatever side it occurs on.
Zuky: The Greatest Cliché: The Unexamined Propaganda of "Political Correctness" 2008/11/13
As it's commonly used, "PC" is a deliberately imprecise expression (just try finding or writing a terse, precise definition) because its objective isn't to communicate a substantive idea, but simply to sneer and snivel about the linguistic and cultural burdens of treating all people with the respect and sensitivity with which they wish to be treated.
Sexual assault on campus: Culture change 101 2008/11/11
Instead of teaching women not to walk alone at night or to carry Mace, some colleges are trying something much harder -- changing college men. Jones, fresh from sex assault prevention training, is in the vanguard of the movement.
World Trade Center 2008/11/09
I was 13 years old when I first heard of the World Trade Center, when a Frenchman by the name of Philippe Petit walked a tightrope which him and a group of confederates had managed to string between the two towers. There are far too few unbelievable and unreal feats in the world, but the sight of a man dancing atop a tightrope a quarter of a mile in the air captured the imagination. The next time it entered my consciousness was one morning when I got a call that one of the towers had been struck by an airplane and I should turn on the tv.
GlobalComment » Springtime for Skinheads: Murdering People for the Colour of their Shoelaces 2008/11/08
Many non-Slavs view Slavic women as passive sex-puppets - “whores” who have no right to say “no” to a man’s advances and must be punished accordingly. The flip-side to that is the fact that Nazis view us pretty much the same way. To them we are broodmares, put on this good earth so that we may produce clutches of adorable white children. If we don’t comply, we need to be “taught a lesson.” I have intimate experience with both of these so-called ideologies. My body, I have been told, belongs to perverts and fascists, but not to me.
