For javascripts, there's a better way:

For themes using this sort of thing to load stylesheets, then you have
two options:

1. Put the custom styles directly into the HTML using the wp_head
hook. This is actually the best way, as it produces the smallest code
and you can have it custom on a per-page or whatever basis you like.
This is how WordPress actually does the custom background stuff.

2. "Right way the second" as defined here:
http://ottopress.com/2010/dont-include-wp-load-please/ . This is not a
great alternative, but it will work if you're a stickler for using
separated stylesheets.
