Pooh’s Tues.

Owls, remember that they

think it is rather beneath

them to talk about little

New layout!

I’ve wanted to try a new layout for a little while now, but I didn’t want to, because all the cute ones I found weren’t big enough for my previously posted pictures to stay on the main column, since apparently the column on my purple striped layout was unusually wide.

But, then, I found this one entitled ‘Blue Damask’. First off, I have a thing for damask wallpaper. It’s just so Victorian, and so very steampunkable (… because that’s a word). And second – and this being the very fact that made me squee and my little fangirl head start spinning (you won’t care if you don’t watch Doctor Who, though) – IT LOOKS LIKE THE WALLPAPER IN AMY’S HOUSE! And, I mean, the entire title/web address of my site is a Doctor who reference, why not my theme, too!

I was gonna go for something brighter, but this was too awesome/pretty/geeky to pass up.

The problem being that it still freaks pictures out in previous posts, so over the next few days, I’m going to go through and try to resize all the pictures in my posts O_O It’s gonna take awhile. I tried to adjust the widths in Blogger’s template designer, but it won’t do it for this template =(

Oh, well. It’s gonna be worth it for this truly SMEPIC blog background (though I wish I could rid myself of that hideous orange advertising bit along the very top. Blue and orange is so nasty.)

We now return to your regular broadcasting.

May the odds be ever in your favor,

Kyr

I’M BACK.

Boo!

I have returned victorious… I’m not quite sure what I remain victorious from, but I guess surviving the heat of Texas in June/July counts for something.

I had quite a bit of fun, though it was a relief to get back from camp. I was really tired from Jubilee! But it was my BFF’s younger sister’s first year, so that was fun, though we hardly got to see her… It was weird.

Anyways, but I’m going to do posts soon about Jubilee, Girls’ Camp, and the 4th of July festivities that I got to take part in today (over 5 hours of playing Sardines. Oh, yeah.).

So, I’m not dead. That’s really the point of this post. I am not dead.

-Kyr, who is not dead.
