I had a couple of days off work this week and I spent them working on my design site. I was very proud of myself. It’s really difficult to find motivation to work on my own projects, either out of lack of interest, or fear of frustration, or whatever.. So I was pretty excited after I spent most of two days reworking and then creating a new template, learning just enough PHP to get it to control the Flash navigation, and then writing copy. Then I got to a crossroads, design-wise, and the productivity came to an end. I got up this morning at 7, all amped up to work on my site, and all I have under my belt for the day is 2 hours of MTV’s newest reality program, Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica.

I have to say, Nick Lachey seems like a fairly likable guy, and I have a new respect for him after seeing what he has to deal with in his wife. But I digress… Reality TV is not my area of expertise. I’ll leave that to the professionals.

Anyhoo… Be sure to check in next week at escapist for the new design, and here for the latest with Nick & Jessica.

PS - In other design news, simbarecordings.com is now public and mostly operational. It’s missing a lot of the content it will soon include, but the site had to be public for the release of the Danko Jones album and the content in question may not be delivered to me any time in the near future.
