it's not easy being . . . well, you know

seth's encouragement, and kottke envy, forced me to try a new template. give me a little time to get it under control, but i think i like it. it was either try a new blogger template or switch to typepad, and this seemed the easiest of the solutions for the time being. just picture one of those little "site under construction" signs @ the top for the next few days or so.
