Another template update

You’ll notice I modified the template a bit to make it more readable. The problem with designing blog templates on the cinema display or even my PBG4’s laptop screen is that they are super-bright, and the templates tend to look a lot darker on your average CRT (of which I now have none in my place, if you don’t count my TV); the post title text was nearly invisible on my CRT at work, so I decided to punch it up a bit. Hope this is a bit more user-friendly.

Just finished:

Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer’s Don’t Look Down4 stars

It seems surreal, having waited for it so long, to finally have gotten it and finished reading it. It was over too quickly, and I loved it. The writing was just wonderful, as seamless as I’d heard it was, and it really brings the best of both worlds (chick-lit and action/adventure) together very well. A great, funny, character-driven Romantic Adventure (I’m using one of their talking points here). I wish I could go back and read it for the first time all over again.
