Finally getting some inspiration, of course always found where it is least expected. I don’t get to have abstract philosophical sorts of conversations very often, but I had one that could possibly pass as such tonight with somebody from here… it was nice.

The redesign of my journal seems to be progressing at an acceptable pace. The greenish gray blue orange thing that I have going on here is being carried on forward over there… It’s that scheme right now of course, but that’s just because I did a really halfassed job lastnight of it.

I’m also considering picking back up one of my programming projects… adding in additional features. eMotif is something similar to iMood, with the exception being that it’s 80 billion times better, lol. Anyway, I’m thinking of bloating it up a bit to include the sort of common blogesque sorts of things, like what you’re watching on tv, listening to, etc, etc… I don’t know if I’d even use it, but I have so much framework there that it shouldn’t be a big deal.

And of course, by the time I’m done with my ‘little’ journal redesign I’l l probably be again sick of sitting at the computer and end up working on real things that actually matter.

I’ve been in a drought of inspiration. I do realize that it’s probably a heavy mix of my life’s circumstances and how they’ve made me feel over the past few months… so perhaps I’ll just call this 11b? What I’m working on… since I am just sick of the blackness… it’s all too symbolic. I haven’t bothered to even look at it in anything other than Mozilla… I’m coding to standards, so a standards compliant browser should see everything properly… which means Internet Explorer will most likely fuck it up. Of course, since I agonized over placement, and I changed few things, it ought to look right anyway. A triumph of coding, haha, using nothing but pico.

I am promising to myself that I’ll create something a bit more… err, well, less of a copy of my previous stuff… eventually.

Part of me wants to just wipe out a year of my journal… or at the very least from March through until September last year. I don’t want to remember being in love like that.

I wonder if I’ll ever have that kind of faith… commitment to anything I do in the future, so idealistic, pushing through past anything in my way, because I absolutely knew it would all be worth it…

…and it was…

…for three days.

I finally got the brainfeed on the lower left of the page working again. I was just having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get php cli working with the newer versions of php, but that’s finally resolved, yay!

Update: I also have my currently playing song and random quote working again… finally!

Well, my sample pack of seven different mica powders arrived today, so of course I had to make something with them! ;0

So… using the “cocoa shimmer” mica I made some rootbeer lipbalm, the rootbeer flavor oil was presweetened, conveniently, and has a nice tingle from what I imagine to be some essential oils. So I didn’t need to bother with powdered stevia or adding in any peppermint for tingle. So far I really like it, the tingle is different from that of the peppermint, but I’m not quite sure if it beats out the peppermint latte I made the other day. I did use almost twice the amount of rootbeer flavor oil though.. it just didn’t seem to have enough tingle with only 1ml and peppermint rootbeer just didn’t seem like a good idea.

I also made some more solid perfume, this is a bit more “girly” than the others though, it’s the “Hydrogen” FO from Majestic Mountain Sage… It was mostly a test for mica usage… because the 1.25cc measurement seemed like WAY too much… ironic though, it seems to be perfect.

I’m very anxious to make soap again, but I need to wait almost a whole week… the rest of my stuff won’t get here until the 30th and the 2nd of June… bugger.
