finished: Victoria and the Rogue
want to read: secrets of my hollywood life sequels 2 and 3, nicola and the viscount, size 14 is not fat either and other sequels of size 12 is not fat because cooper cartwright is just plain awesome!

I can't believe they described him as just a 'PI who owns the brownstone she lives in' on the back. then again, if they'd said he was a 'absolute hottie' like most of meg cabot's blurbs do, my parents would've told me I have to buy the sequels out of my own hard-saved money (lol). which they haven't yet because my mum's still undecided.

(I can just SEE the thought bubble above her head, saying, how can a book by meg cabot be soo... soo... soo... well, so unfluffy? she calls nearly all meg cabot/chic lit books 'fluffy', as well as movies like... like... chic flicks. not counting stuff like 27 dresses. cos she likes 27 dresses.)

anyway!

skin ideas

• BG, alternate side boxes, post headers, fancy-font-text image -- light light grey. #C4C4C4 maybe? 'grey77'. nearer to white than black which means it should be about just right.
• alternate side boxes, font col. for hover links, post bg -- white, #FFFFFF
• font colour -- black, #000000
• link bg -- light green, #86C67C, '100 euro' on december.com
• hover link bg -- 'green pepper', #397D02

sorry if it doesn't make sense to you, it's how I plan my blogskins to avoid my head getting all muddled.

it seems I am stuck to using two basecodes these days: chocoxbaby for navigational (thanks to zx, whose skins alerted me to chocoxbaby's navigational format, which was easy to tweak to create a different one) and sweet_summer for non-navigational, because sweet_summer's, unlike liewqi's, have different whadjamacallits, like h1, h2 and h3 for the separate stuff (only skinners would understand this, I think) so it's easier to create nicer blogskins.

OFF TO BLOGSKINNING I GO!

heck, it's friday. (:
