Have you ever wanted to strangle a kitten?

Well, not really, but that pretty much sums up my emotions right now.

I’ve been working on a website for my internship for the past 4 hours now, and I’m about inflict some pain on someone or something (if it’s pain, I guess it’d have to be someone? whatever). It is the absolute worst when you have a design that you have already spent several hours ‘perfecting’, and the minute you start programming it in, you realize how shitty it is going to appear online. Trying to balance the fine line of making a site elegantly-simple, and visually attractive is one of the most difficult things to do when it comes to web design, and a reason why so many people plain suck at it. While I am by no means a web guru master (hell, I taught myself everything), I do consider myself to be pretty good even though it usually takes several revisions of a design to get something that is remotely uber sweet (but I guess that’s normal).

So while I thought I’d have a good chunk of this site finished by tonight, I have yet to even finish a finalized design. This shit’s b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

I’ve also always wondered if there’s anyone that reads or views this shit or if I’m just talking into those internet tubes to myself. Meh.
