When I checked yesterday, I didn’t yet have themes available, but they’re there now! I told L. about Gmail’s new themes a couple of days ago, and he thinks they’re unnecessary and make text difficult to read (Windows 3.11? Seriously?), but I think they’re pwritty! Though Terminal looked terrible with my GTK theme, and I was disappointed in the only pink theme they offered (hopefully, user-designed themes will be possible in future), I think the space theme (or whatever the hell this is) looks rather nice, and there are a couple of blue ones that are also not bad. Besides, it’s much easier on my eyes to have the dark background, especially at night when looking at a white page is like staring into the goddamned sun. People often say that it’s difficult to read light text on a dark background, but that is much easier for me; black on white will near-blind me, and even dark on light is difficult at night. White on black is a little contrast-y for my liking, but white on dark blue or grey is just right.

Thank Džesus (heh) it’s Friday. Apart from yesterday evening, this has been one helluva week and I’m sooooo glad it’s over. I went to bed too late and got up too early, so I’m tired, but that’s all right; the workload is light today, and if I want to take a nap, that’s exactly what I’m going to do…because I can!
