Check it out – I have a new LJ layout. I even figured out how to create a sidebar! I feel like Michaelangelo after completing the Sistine Chapel, people, and all I did was change a couple of font colors. But visual design is one of a number of things on the long list of Stuff I'm Not Good At (other items: cooking, dancing, singing, applying eye makeup, knowing what shoes to wear with an outfit), and I consider figuring out how to get an icon to go up with each of my entries a major accomplishment.

And! A sidebar!

I don't really have anything to put in a sidebar, of course, which did nothing in preventing me from desperately wanting one. I sat staring at it for long hours (okay, ten minutes) this weekend, trying to come up with a clever About Me blurb, but failing miserably (I have had the same content-less user info blurb for four years now for that very reason), and instead I have created a Totally Awesome Item sidebar, which I hope to update weekly, but will actually be updated biannually, knowing me. This week's item is Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream, and it is AWESOME.

I would go on about it more but there is a small section of my personality that can still recognize when I'm entering soul-crushingly boring territory, and it's beginning to set off warning bells now. Moving on.

I missed The 4400 last night, which is very upsetting for me. It's not a very good show, but it involves people with superpowers, and I love people with superpowers. Yes, I am that easy. Will have to catch a rerun, clearly.

In other news: We are experiencing our first massive rainstorm of the season and I, naturally, have left my new spring raincoat at home. Macy's calls it an all-weather jacket, which is even better because it justifies me wearing it more – you can look at it here, only mine is in yellow. The kind of yellow that calls for all-caps: this is a YELLOW coat. I love it, even if it is one of those items that either looks great or hideous: there is no in-between. Am hoping it's the former, not the latter.

Oh God, just remembered that I have to count change in petty cash to make sure it reconciles. Joy. Joy joy joy. And so I end the most pointless LJ entry ever.
