Re-Design

You may have noticed that my bloggy is purple now (among other small changes).  I've leapt into the new decade with hip style and pastel colours!  How about that.  I might have just been farting around on the computer in between games of Snood and avoiding the stack of essays I have to mark, but look at what spoils this has achieved!

The term re-design makes me think of one thing, and one thing only:  Remember in the film 13 Going On 30 when Jenna Rink is working at Poise magazine and her unknown other self was selling out JLo covers to the competition ladymag and then they were told that Poise needed a "Re-design" and everyone FREAKED OUT because in the magazine world "Re-design" is synonymous with "Death Sentence"?  I know, scary, eh?  So, as I was re-designing my own blog today, I thought, is this a death sentence for my online ramblings?  I had some momentary fear until I remembered that like Jenna Rink, I too am a plucky gal with a lush brown ponytail and idealistic enthusiasm!  So, just as she came up with the clever yearbook theme, played with balloons, ate an ice cream in an adorable dress, and got to kiss Mark Ruffalo by the swing-set at the park, I expect to be similarly victorious.  And if not, I can always go back to 1996 and relive my entire adolescence (now that sounds more like a death sentence...).  So, if you don't see me for a while, I'm probably sitting on the floor of my room in flannel pants and a Cow's Ice Cream t-shirt, alternating between my Oasis and Spice Girls tapes, and painting my nails with blue glitter polish while really wishing I'd just grow some boobs already.

And now, Thriller!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWIicd4iOV0
