Much to my dismay, I think I’m going to use a WordPress theme. The whole moving my entire online life to a different domain and different platform is pretty messy and time consuming as it is, without having to figure out how to create a custom theme for WordPress. As a designer, I really hate using a theme that somebody else designed. I feel defeated in some ways but I just need to move on. I do realize that this is my blog and personal site and in light of everything else I need to do before the semester starts, it isn’t important. I just need to finish it up and start working on other stuff. I doubt anybody (other than me) will think any less of me because I’m using a theme. And I can always go back and create my own theme at a later point . . . it certainly isn’t the end of the world. Ok, so now that I’ve justified it, why don’t I feel better?!? Blah.

It is also super hot and humid in St. Louis right now. And I still haven’t gotten over a cold I picked up when I left LA. And I’m feeling very impatient right now.
