Let’s try this again! (I broke my comments yesterday… It was a bit of a nightmare. Yikes.) So… do over from yesterday!
–
That’s right folks… this little blog o’ mine has had a (much needed) make-over. Code word: Shimmer-ified!
Check it out! shimmerlikegold.org

It took me a whole lot longer gettin’ this bad boy coded than I’d hoped – sometimes WordPress makes me want to gouge my own eyeballs out… barring that though, we’re the best of friends! But at long, looooong last, the shiny new layout I’ve been promising since oh, I dunno, probably October (…woops), is finally here! YAY! It’s cleaner, it’s fresher, it’s sparklier… literally! Lots-o-white, a bit of shimmer, a touch of gold, simple & minimal… just how I like it. I hope you guys do too!
P.S. If you notice any wonky theme issues, gimme a shout. xo.
Introducing… k.
Surprise! I’ve hinted at this before, and it’s been a loooong time in the making thanks to eye surgeries, computers blowing up, all-consuming finals, Christmas holidays, a wee bit of procrastination… you know, the usual excuses. But at long last, I’m thrilled to open my new blogging adventure, k.! I’ll admit, I’ve been having a bit of a blogging identity crisis over the last few months trying to figure out where I wanted to take Shimmer Like Gold as myself and the blog have evolved a looot over the past few years. The logical explanation after much (muuuuuch) sole searching was a new blog. Shimmer Like Gold will continue to be a place of constant dumping of anything and everything that I’m inspired by at present, and k. will be my new little playground to get a little more personal — something a little more substantial, more original, uniquely me. You know, bits of art, photographs, some doodling, design projects… the like. If any of that sounds at all appealing to you, I hope you’ll check out and follow along my new adventure!

P.S. Stay tuned over the coming week for a few little change-ups around these parts as well.
Salut, mes amis! Remember me? Things have been quiet around here over the last 2 months. Thanks to a Christmas miracle (a.k.a. the wonders of Apple’s customer service), my computer’s life has been saved and I’m back in business! Horray! Confetti! I’ve sure missed the blogosphere and I’m so glad to be back. So stay tuned because I’ll be bringin’ the sparkley (plus some other nifty things) back around these parts again pronto! Thanks for all the support during my time away. Regular posting shall resume again within the next day… so stay tuned! xo.

Hello, hello! Long time no see! So far so good over here in epic-homework-land. Stressed to the max, but what else is new? I’ll tell ya what… in case you missed it, I did a guest post over at Marthe’s blog The Freedom Experiment a few days ago. Ch-ch-check, ch-check, check it out…

Hi guys,
Here’s the dealio. Technology is both my BFF and my mortal enemy. I love it, but a lot of the time, it doesn’t love me. My beloved MacBook is currently in a state of “I hate you, Krissy. I’m going to make your life living hell.” And while I’m 100% okay with people not liking me 100% of the time (though, admittedly, it does make me a little bit sad), I’m kind of not really down with my computer hating me. And it’s pushing me into an early quarter-life crisis.
Force Quitting x 20 times a day = It’s bad. Bad, guys. Guys, bad. Bad, guys. It’s bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Suffice to say, I’m very concerned my little Luna Lovegood is going to kick the can reeeeeal soon. (Yeah, I’m a gigantic dork and named my Macbook after a Harry Potter character. My supreme dorkiness knows no bounds.) And with the end of my semester looming at just over 4 weeks away, my mad panicking and supreme stress levels are mounting. Exponentially. I’m very afraid Luna isn’t going to survive that long.
I’m sure you’re thinking, “That’s a very tragic story and all, but I care why?” Or you might not care. That’s okay too. I still love you. But the point I’m getting at is that I’ve been faced with a tough call to make for the past few days, and while it hurts my heart just a little bit a lot, I think I’ve come to terms with the following decision: Shimmer Like Gold is now on an indefinite break until my computer situation can be resolved. I’m afraid with the daily/hourly computer freak outs, I need to save those moments, few and far between, when my computer isn’t being a gigantic jerk and reserve them solely for my school work. Sad face. Fingers crossed the ole computer hangs in there until after the semester ends. If it dies before, that would be supremely bad.
I promise you, I’m not abandoning this blog. This is only temporary and I’ll be back to posting and commenting as soon as I can. Thank you all for sticking with me all this time – it means a lot that all you fantastic people follow and support my blog.
I’ll still be around Twitter (@krissy_) and you can reach me by e-mail (shimmerlikegold@gmail.com) thanks to the wonders of the trusty iPod touch. (The one piece of technology that currently isn’t out to get me. Horrah! ILU, iPod.) I also have two posts which I’d written earlier in the week that are scheduled for the next few days. After that, it’s a Shimmer Like Gold blackout. See you on the other side, hopefully sans a computer blow up and complete meltdown during finals!
End terribly verbose and surprisingly more emotional than I’d anticipated farewell.
xo.
(Wow, that was a sombre borderline depressing post. Here’s a little something sparkley to cheer you, but mostly me, up.)
