E: and having fun with Kitten.

that conjures so many wonderful images.

btw, i'm favourably impressed with the current test page. My one suggestion is to fully label each content area (ie: Main Articles, Older Main Articles, Personal Journals, Book Reviews, etc) and make it more clear where the divides are between areas (ie: darker lines or something that make it stand out and that are different from other site accent marks.) also, i assume you'll make the top graphic width match the new main body width.

I agree. Am working on those visual cues as we speak.

supurb.

i bet Kitten is attracted to you based on your website authoring skills.

> Why, I actually expected someone clever and interesting to approach us...

I'm not sure whose expectations are further removed from reality: yours for expecting to meet clever and interesting humans in one discretely random event or mine for expecting their general non-existence besides those occurring from pseudo-miracles. (Granted, I am extraordinarily uninteresting, but so is mostly everybody else, except in brief passing.)

Perhaps I am of the wrong impression, but even detaching from my own trench's perspective, it seems like this audience tends to set the bar somewhat high (in a relative sense vis-a-vis the general populace).

Or maybe you're just *way* more forgiving than I am.

blue & e:

you two just aren't going to the right bars. try the local library. that hot girl/boy with the glasses in the non-fiction section is interesting in more ways than purely literary!

DrDoug: I think a big reason Kitten likes me is that I am not at all threatened by her looks.

Blue: I really have no excuse for being hopeful. Rationally there is no reason for that expectation.

DrDoug 2: You have no idea how much time I spend in the World History/Mil History/International Poli sci section at the bookstore. Hardly anyone even shows up there.

Of course, there are plenty of gorgeous men in suits browsing the Management/Business section, but most of the books there are so boring.

E: obviously we need to shop in the same bookstore. (although i do tend to stray toward the engineering/physics/travel sections from time to time.

Heh. The only time I've ever actually had a conversation in a bookstore of more than a sentence or two was because the "True Crime" section was next to "Current Affairs" and History. I don't recall much detail beyond that there was something about how the woman felt she couldn't read the book about Laci Petersen because she had been pregnant at the same time.

Oh, yea, and there was the one time I somehow got a spider on a cashier. That was amusing.

Funny, whenever my friend Hrvatski Boy and I do that on a Saturday night, we stumble on teenagers making out. Apparently they think nobody is boring enough to spend Saturday night in the history section.
