that looks familiar

there is a point where “inspired by” starts wearing your coat. #

Saw a Splinder tonight that made me stop. Same sort of header crop as my January layout, little line in almost the same place, similar sidebar treatment. I am not going to become ridiculous about this. I don’t own blue. I don’t own stars. I don’t own putting a photograph at the top of a weblog. Nobody does. But when several choices appear together, there is that moment of recognition. I showed Hikari and she immediately said, `”Oh.”` Exactly. Oh. That’s the whole reaction. I didn’t comment. I didn’t message the girl. Maybe she liked mine and borrowed the idea. Maybe she arrived there independently. The Internet is full of similar things because we’re all looking at each other constantly. I can live with that.

What I don’t like is exactness.

We’ll see.

Anyway, Friday. I closed the browser and went out. The advantage of having a life away from the screen is that irritation has an off switch.

Remember me, Eclipse.
