Blog Entry 1

I can't believe it! Kolme goes up today!!! This feels so surreal to me, because I've been working on kolme on and off for over three months now. IT'S FINALLY GOING TO EXIST FOR REAL!! I feel a lot calmer working on it now, knowing that I'm not just going to up and abandon it (and even if I do, I can still say I DID it!). It's just the beginning! I'm just so excited!!

Yes, it's true... kolme is very much under construction at the moment. A lot of graphics are temporary, like the favicon , which I just ripped from a CD of Adobe Illustrator I found (though I kind of like how it looks...) and pretty much all of the navigation buttons that I made in like 3 minutes. Backgrounds, fonts, the entire color scheme of this blog page... pretty much everything I'm considering temporary. I'm still confident uploading kolme in this state, because I hope that in the future I can look back after restyling the site a million times and go "wow! Humble beginnings! So primitive!"

I'm kind of just rambling here, it's early in the morning as I'm writing this, I've been up since 6am. I don't know why, but I like to get up early to work on kolme, it just feels kind of peaceful to put on some slow track and just type and code into the sunrise. However, I also like going to bed late, and have been getting probably five hours of sleep every night for the past week or so. If there are any grave errors on kolme, you can thank my strange obsession with late and early serenity.

On my early morning kolme shifts, I've been listening to Blondshell's cover of The Summer Ends (by American Football). Even though it's incredibly slow, it helps me wake up, and I like lying in my bed for ten minutes before turning my computer on with it on loop watching the sky turn red. It triggers this nonspecific comforting nostalgic memory I have of being in elementary school and getting up early to catch the bus. I'm excited for autumn this year, though, I guess, I'm always excited for autumn, and then when it's here it's still just hot. I was excited for summer this year, but it's been pretty lame so far. The moral of the story is to be excited for the now, which I am because of KOLME!!!!!!!!!

I want to kind of take a break now that kolme's released. Not for very long, just kind of shift it onto the back burner again. Next up though, I definitely want to optomize for laptops and smaller monitors in general (cause mine is like a 19"/48cm diagonal, it's a damn TV basically), not for phones yet, cause I think I'll make a completely different layout for them and I want to make sure that everything's in place before I start any of that. After that (or maybe before..?), get the art section up and running. I'm not crazy about starting the Collections in the Links page, the idea hasn't really fully formed in my head yet, so I'll let things play out as they go.

That's all I have to say for now I think. Blog posts, as you may be able to tell, will be sporadic without much spel chejcking. Just kind of a dumping ground within a dumping ground. I really don't want to get super personal with these, cause I don't want this to be just a public diary. I guess I'll see how things go, figure out what I do and don't want to discuss. In the meantime, I don't forsee many blog posts in the near future (but I may be wrong...).
