…make Brad something something

The late spring and summer, usually a bit of a respite from the hustle that attends the theatre season and the academic term, have shaped up this year to be extraordinarily busy for me. The past two and the coming three weeks are particularly packed, as two rather significant projects come to a climax. I didn't leave the office until after 11 this evening, and there are a few more late nights in the offing.

Among the tasks on my to-do list is refashioning a rather large website and I'd really hoped to do it up right. But after spending two days and change attempting to craft a set of CSS-based templates that would look halfway decent across multiple browsers and platforms, I folded. A couple of hours later and the whole thing was on track with table-based layouts and a soupcon of CSS to paste it together. Le sigh. Maybe someday I'll understand classes and the box model and floating and all that. Not today.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to restore the house to some semblance of order after neglecting a fair amount of chores and general tidying for far too long. I'd hoped to remodel my home office, but my inability to find suitable furnishings (my preternatural pickiness combined with some bizarre room dimensions) has returned me to my original plan of commissioning some custom cabinet work that will, alas, probably have to wait until the fall or winter.

And! I discovered last weekend on a trip to buy some storage containers of which I'm fond that Organized Living is closing! Where will I go now to indulge my cabinet and closet porn festish? I mean, sure, in the short term I'm loving the discounts on things I've put off buying for awhile, but in two or three weeks when there's a vacant storefront where my mecca used to be—what then?!

The take-away message? Busy. Very busy. Further bulletins as events warrant.
