I defy any cloud to appear in the sky

I have a snazzy new journal header!

I don't normally announce these things these days. But I felt I ought to mention it this time, since the person I got the header off of, dana_cz, altered it from a full-color version (which she posted in her lj, here) to my specifications so I could match it to my layout colors.

I mean, that's just too kind NOT to mention. Generally speaking, when people have spent hours on a graphic getting the colors and textures and transparencies and blending and so on just so, it's common for them to get tetchy when someone comes along and says, "LOL THATS GRATE BUT KAN I GETZ IT IN EARTHTONES?" At least in my experience.

So yes. Thanks, dana_cz! (She made this icon too, incidentally.) I'll probably switch back to my black/grey/white/red House layout eventually, but for Series 4, I quite like this.


Also, since my computer (unlike the laptop I originally created an external stylesheet on for my House layout) will NOT open CSS files in ANY way, shape or form, I got to spend some time pouring over the source file for my lj to alter my layout this time. As a result, I think I understand how CSS works a bit better now - certainly not enough to create anything from scratch, but I DID manage to remove the pesky underlining of links in my lj (which has ALWAYS bugged me), as well as fix some padding issues I was having with my sidebar. So. Yay?

I...really don't want to go to work today. I feel like I might actually have creative writing inside me to do. Which is rare, but it's even rarer I can indulge it. It's not going to happen today, either. Oh, well. Actually, maybe I CAN write something before I have to leave for work. I'm just going to pretend that's going to happen, because I'm feeling optimistic. I've gotten in touch with some people I've been meaning to call, reached my dad, etc. Surely, given my current karma, today will be a good day!


I'm still working on an analysis of David Tennant's handwriting, but I'm quite excited about it. I think I need to email someone about some more puzzling traits, though. I don't want to post until I'm more sure about them.

THERE'S DOCTORDONNA IN UR JOURNAL! I approve. ;)

It is a very pretty header. I like how Ten's all 'NO U CAN'T HAS, IZ MY DONNA'. And yay for having people customizing their graphix for you. :D

Css is awesome! Yay for getting more familiar with it. And why won't your computer open the files? Usually you can open them with Notepad (Start => All Progs => Accessories => Notepad).

I don't know! It tried to open in Notepad, and I just got a bunch of meaningless symbols. I tried a few times. Old stylesheets I have saved won't open properly either...although clearly, if I save something as a .css file and upload it, it works!

And it's my favourite picture from the series 4 promos. I saw someone with a B&W header earlier using this picture, and wanted it BAD, but it wasn't up for grabs. So I went looking for the picture and mysteriously could NOT find it. So...I'm happy now. Heh.

Huh. Weird. Does it show up when you c&p the sheets into another word editor? (Word, Wordpad, etc?) Because if it does, you could just try copying the sheets from Word into Notepad.

And look, I'z finded the original. Yes, I do hang out on David's site way too much xD.

Okay, it opens in Notepad now. (Weird.) It's just all in one big block (this is WITH word wrap) - any formatting it was given is gone. Haha, I think the way I did it was still easier.

And wow, thanks for finding the photo! It DOES amuse me that it apparently took you less than 10 minutes to find. I seriously looked through Google Images for HOURS.
