F5: Title, Header, Avatar Changes

Posted on

Hey! So I’ve been thinking about changing this site’s blog name – jBlog is way too widely used and I want something that will show up higher on search engines. So, I chose Craziosity, a mix of curiosity and crazy, because the .com domain name is not taken if I so choose to pay for that. But I’m still not 100-percent sure if I’m satisfied with the name.

Anyway, I can think about that later. The other big change is the header which, as you know, I am always modifying. I’m even more content with this one than the previous version. Can you guess what the background image is…?

And one final tweak that is still tweaking with my mind is the website avatar – the little logo that represents the site and is next to the name if you bookmark it. It appears fine on my bookmark bar, but on the Chrome tab it gets a little spliced. I’m just too picky…

Heh, see ‘ya round.

The second week of winter term has commenced, and mentally I’m feeling okay. But physically…

  • It had to come sooner or later… I’ve got a cold. The last time I was sick was the weekend before school started. I had a bad fever and was so hot/cold I didn’t want to roll over and sip some water. So, I should be thankful it’s just a cold (so far). I think I might just cozy on up and read… But at the same time a coffeehouse sounds like a nice place to be. However, another bad part of a cold is the loss of taste. For lunch I grabbed some Pita Pit down the road on the way back from class… I could hardly taste it despite all my deep-breathing, nasal-clearing, pre-eating efforts. Really all I could get out of the flavor was the eggplant hummus and a little bit of the scrumptious Tzatziki dressing. Good enough for me.
  • However, the diet is going well. Over winter break, as you know I was very worried about weight gain, but then I don’t know what happened and I came back to school having lost five pounds. Yee yee! I’m getting really close the 160′s now… Maybe one more week? According to an online BMI Calculator, I need to get to 159 pounds in order to be considered normal weight in body mass percentage terms. But I know calculators can be terribly inaccurate in addition to the fact that I tend to actually be more big-boned. So… I’d say by now I’m getting pretty close to that mark. Once I get there it will be a celebration. In BMI sense, I will have crossed an entire category, dropping from the “obese” ranking down to “normal”. There’s no stopping me now as my whole life has changed.
  • I also tend to notice that I eat differently. Often I find that I’m content with just consuming food to keep my body fed with calories. I don’t necessarily need the best tasting stuff. For example, the no-meat Mediterranean pita I had for lunch today… Or the Egg Beaters I had for breakfast. I actually hope I’m getting past that need for the best-tasting food. I want to be one of those people that don’t obsess over what their meal will taste like and rather what’s in it and how it was produced. I want to be a health nut and go organic or something. We will see where it goes… Probably just a fad.
