I’ve been in a similar funk for a year. o_O I have these ideas but no motivation to do them.

I’m in the same kind of flux, I used to love doing things like web-design, and still do, but I can’t find the motivation half of the time to actually get anything done. I think it’s the weather, or the season, or just the general feeling of the population as of late because it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends.

That being said, why not work on something casually, something that won’t be dire to you, and you won’t feel pressured to actually update more than you feel necessary for casual enjoyment? Some little side project– it might end up being something you want to work on every day and all that in the end, like you used to be with Enthusiast (still an amazing script, by the by.)

Dreamwidth’s base is off from Livejournal code :) So theoretically you can say they’re a clone, but they’re doing a good number of changes on how things work as far as I’ve seen, I believe a whole lot more than other eljay clones out there. I could be wrong, of course.

And mmm, anime.

Oh, it’s not that I don’t want to be in front of my machine after work. I just fluctuate between not wanting to THINK about how to implement things and not wanting to be in front of (presentation layer) code, period. :/

How about watch lots of animes instead. =D

Oh, and Dreamwidth looks so much like Livejournal. xD

what do you want to do on your free time? or do you hate to be in front of your pc again after work?

Yup, the usual is 80gsm. The higher the gsm, the heavier the paper. The ones I bought did not have a label, but I’m assuming they’re at least 150gsm.

Hand-binding just takes a bit of practice, but if you’re into handicrafts and all that I’m certain you’ll take to it easily. I’m personally not very good with crafts (that’s always been the domain of my older sister) but this was pretty fun. :)

I agree with the previous comment – the photos look gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to do a proper fanbook for a band and never thought about hand-binding it all together. I doubt I could do something as beautiful as your presents though.

I think normal paper is 80gsm (or so the HP pack of paper tells me) – what qualifies as heavy paper?

Haha! My younger sister has a bad case of that. She wouldn’t use pens and stuff like that for fear it would all run out and then what would happen? Lol!

(To be honest? I have this pretty pretty quasi-notebook I bound before I did these, and I have YET to use it. Lol!)

They look beautiful, and what wonderful gifts to give and receive! I’m not sure I would dare to actually fill them with photos though, in fear of messing up, hehe ;)
