Gradient

I put up the tweaked version of my fandom homepage, today, as well as a new version of the page I keep my main fanfic, Where You Belong on. I'd copy the format and make that my new short-stories page, too, but I want a couple of days to think about whether I should mess with the colors to make it more distinct, or just leave it as-is. 

Thinking of Where you Belong, I more or less put it to the side for the last week or so, in favor of drafting out a couple of short stories,( which is why a new short stories page for my website was on my mind in the first place). I'm in that spot where I know what I want to do with the chapter, but can't quite work up the gumption to sit down and do it for any length of time. 

Rather than torture myself for not being fast enough, I've decided putting it to the side for at least a little while is not the worst. 

Overall, I'm happier with the new versions of my web pages - They both look a lot more cohesive with how I've designed the rest of my Danny Phantom themed stuff, though they probably could still use some tweaking. Purple and green together are natural eye-burners, but the bright yellow-lime I have on my Danny Phantom homepage in particular could probably stand to be slightly less noxious than it currently is.

I want to make sure my font is readily visible against whatever background I'm using, but dimming that color down is going on my list of planned alterations once I get in the mood to play with gradients and sliders once again. 

I'm probably going to finish up that second short story tonight, and then after that, I don't know. I'm sort of caught between reading, drawing, and just fooling around with one of my browser games with what free time I have left. 

It's tentative, but I'm thinking about devoting my time between work and sleep next week to finally finishing that one Jack and Vlad essay I've been bellyaching about. The darn thing has given me a bit of a case of creative constipation, and if I finally get that done, perhaps it will be a little easier to pursued myself to move on to something else. 

I had one of those powerfully surreal dreams that involved a burning house at the edge of a long road running across a landscape that was both incredibly flat, yet massive in scale. I wanted to use the road to get somewhere, but had to turn back because the fire had gotten that section of road shut down. Somehow, this was happening after I had investigated a cabin where a child had died and I had to hold a water  bottle that was drugged so powerfully, just touching it caused you to hallucinate. My father was getting a massage at the same time. This cabin was located at one end of the road I ended up driving down, I think I wanted to tell someone about it?

I had a different dream a few nights ago that involved fishing live power cords out of a swimming pool, also enormously big - I remember I couldn't see the far edge when I tried to look across it, it just vanished somewhere off into the sunny horizon. Not the worst pair of dreams I've had by a long shot, but the monumentality of the spaces, paired with the need to handle things I knew were dangerous seem to present a theme.

Maybe I feel nervous about my inability to predict the future. I'm not sure.
