I like the idea of the site, and a good attempt at filling the blank space on the right of the page by inserting a lens flare, although I think it is out of place.
Just two things really.
Firstly - The Text
Your text, being the same as the background it sits on, make it difficult to read. The font is also slightly oversized, IMO.
The Load Time
I have several sites hosted on American servers, and I run 1.5mb connection and rarely have any issues. I am not sure if it is my connection today, ur host or a lack of image optimisation on your site, but you're site too way too long to load.
Positives
I am easily led to the left side of the screen for finding menu options, which is a good thing. I am a little worried that I run res of 1280x800 and your site looks very large, and wonder how it would appear on 1024 or even 800 resolutions. I am also not compelled to scroll down the screen in any way. Maybe put the bottom menu secion to the right, which might help fill the gap on the right of the screen?
Overall I like it, and agree with suz, I like the paper effect. I also like the source code, looks neat. WD.
