The words seem so alien to someone who hasn't had a summer vacation in four years.

I walked out of my last final Tuesday night and didn't know what to do next. Between work and school I'd been keeping pretty busy, and even when work and school themselves didn't consume all of my time, procrastinating is a full-time affair (hence, this journal, amongst other things). So now that I don't have any responsibilities for the next few months, what do I do?

Well, I've got a list as long as my arm (in 24-point type, anyhow) of things I want to do with this site, and other web projects, which you'll be seeing the fruits of gradually, but soon. I've also got a lot of IKEA labor, building furniture and more furniture, remaking my apartment. (There are three stages to apartment living: "Place where I keep my stuff and sleep," "Place where I keep my nicer stuff, sleep, and keep meaning to clean" and, "Place that is a real home, where everything has its place (and is actually kept there), and is both beautiful and functional." I'm in stage two right now, working towards stage three.)

So, the current plan is to spend a few weeks at least working on these projects that have been put off during the semester, and then open up to contract interactive work again, which should keep me busy and happy 'till the end of August, when the Fall semester starts up.

In the very near term, I'll be implementing more functionality right here, starting off with making the links on the left-hand nav more useful and interesting, and finalizing my solution to those who think bright blue just doesn't cut it as a color pallete.
