i don't say that it isn't bland, just that that wasn't the significant feature i was seeking to highlight. the lack of a focal point probably contributes to the blandness, but they're not mutually inclusive.

i think i'd change millenium. i just like the "hair" there so much. although i might make both the words a bit smaller, if they were both going to be large. otherwise, i'd make only one noticeably larger than the rest of the text, probably.

does "wrote the book" have a pretentious texture? i have failed to detect one, as yet.
