New Blog Template

I was bored and started futzing around with the Blogger templates and created one based on one of my favorite artists, Piet Mondrian. I use this style on my personal webpage as well and I have grown to like it very much.

It is easier to make a Mondrian-esque webpage with tables than the way Blogger does its layout with DIVs, but it did not turn out too bad once I got used to what-does-what in the Blogger XML template.

Anyhow, enjoy!

The Daily Coyote

Rx: Take one every few minutes until cuteness craving is satisfied.

This is a picture from the blog "The Daily Coyote". It is about a nice lady that takes in a baby coyote who's parents were killed. This is an absolutely adorable blog, and an absolutely adorable 'yote and I suggest you read it.

Blogging

This is my first blog post. I never thought that I would be doing this. I mean, who would want to ready anything that I have to say...or anything that ANYONE would want to say?

Over the past few weeks, I have been reading a number of blogs. Some have been great, such as the blog of Shari in "My So-Called Japanese Life" (link on the lower right). This blog truly opened my eyes as to how interesting a blog can be. You get a glimpse into someone else's life, how they live, what they do and more. It truly delivers an experience of what it is like to be someone else.

I am sitting here watching "Robin Hood" on the BBC and trying to figure out what I would say in a blog. Actually, I have been thinking about it for days now. Is my life interesting enough for a blog? I really say no, but I have had so many good thoughts that I couldn't help but try. I am certain that I won't blog every day like the truly dedicated...I don't have THAT much to say, but if I can give you just a glimpse into my wholly uninteresting life, then I will have succeeded.

So, enjoy. Or not.
