I don’t like the look of my blog. I tried to be all minimalistic and stuff, because I didn’t want it to be annoying and flashy, because I knew I’d get tired of it. Well, I’m tired of the silly purple-and-white blandness. I need more. So I’m out hunting blog skins, and let me tell you, I can’t find anything worth spitting at. It’s enough to make me turn my attention to Diaryland, because there’s a ton of cool skins out there for those templates.

We’ll see. I feel like I need an infusion of red.

I guess I’m going to B’ham tomorrow. I feel like I need to stay here and work more on my newspaper project, but I confirmed my spot on the bus today, so I don’t want to stand them up. Plus I would actually like to go. It’s just at a bad time, when I’m stressed. Eeergh. I should complain more.

I officially have an internship this summer. It’s in Birmingham at the Birmingham News. All I’ve got to do is set up a physical/drug screening in M’boro sometime soon so they can tell if I’ve got AIDS or am genetically predisposed to be a bad designer. Who knows. But they’re drawing blood, which makes me squicky. I’ve never had blood drawn before and I understand it’s a notably unpleasant experience. But I’m excited that I will get the chance to do a lot, so they tell me, including design A1 at least once. Wow. That’s pretty cool.

I’ve done some ‘net searching about the city. It seems pretty large and diverse. Lots of history in B’ham. My mission will be to soak it up and visit museums and other things I never take advantage of in Nashville. Which reminds me — there is some major art on display at the Frist center. I should get a move on before van Gogh and Picasso and Gauguin … uh … move on.
