I love to cook. And I especially love to entertain. But lately, the thought of making dinner is unbearable. And I don't understand why. So unless I've eaten out with friends, I've sort of just skipped dinner lately. I wander into the kitchen, look in the fridge with annoyance, and then go back to whatever it was I was doing before.

Also, trying to figure out the best way to display Paris journal and photos. I don't want to use a service like Flickr (nothing wrong with it, I'm just weird that way). I also don't want to manually code ten billion pages. I'm hoping Jima can hook me up with some Apache Gallery love. But if not, I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Web design is hard. How on earth did I use to do this shit? Everything looks lame. And granted, this isn't a professional site, just a place to send my mother to coo at pictures, but gah. I'd really rather it not look like ass.

I love this guy's photo journal: http://ngray.minusseven.com/. Would that I had such talents. Mrh.

Also on wishlist: graphics skills. Because: FEH.

Wow, that photojournal is great. So simple!

Gallery is pretty simple to set up. Although, start out with 2 if you can - I'm in 1.5, and it's good, but boy do I NOT want to take the time to make it pretty.

Isn't it awesome? And his photographs are simply wonderful.

Thanks for the tip--I'll check with Jima and see what he's got. Because I do want it to be pretty.

And I'm not sure why I give a damn. I used to flip out Web sites, complete with at least a modicum of ...design sense.

Now? I got bupkiss!

Well, we can't all be ridiculous polymaths. I mean, I'm a good programmer, if I'm concentrating on it, but if I laid off it for months and years, as I did, wow, do I suck.

Yeah. I know you're right. But still: *mope*

Oh, I know! I wish I could be Teh Awesome at everything! As it is, there's a few things I think I'm pretty good at, and a couple I think I'm the bee's knees. Nothing I think am Lord and Master of, though.

Except maybe being World's Greatest Sex Machine.

But I don't want to be awesome at everything!

I just want this page to not annoy me. But I found some of my own work, and am shamelessly purloining from that. I think I feel better now.

I know what you're saying, though. And it's appreciated :)
