extreme makeover: blogger edition

Unless you are one of my die-hard fans that has been around since I got fired from myspace and stumbled into the blogger community, you may not know that I have changed the look of my page...once again. I succumbed to the mounting peer pressure from blogger.com and updated my account to have all the new crap on it. Personally, I was happy with the way the site was set up (aside from being suddenly unable to post pictures) but quite frankly, I was getting tired of being bothered about it. So I switched. I was really hoping for some new templates so I could alter the layout of my page whenever the mood struck me, but no dice.

It's kinda like going from BETA to VHS...not as thrilling as one might think.

Now that I think about it, I've enjoyed shaking up the fung shui since I was a kid. Just about the only time I'd really give my bedroom a good cleaning was whenever I'd rearrange the furniture. This semi-annual event usually took up the better part of a Saturday and gave me a strange sort of high that lasted for a couple of days. I would wake up the morning after and be mildly confused for a few moments as I processed my new environment. Some kids did weed, others chugged beer, I got my jollies from moving furniture and scratching the crap out of the hardwood floors.

These days my furniture is much heavier, much more plentiful, and somewhat more color-coordinated (the olive green couches on the putt-putt green carpet being the exception). The day I moved the hide-a-bed-piece-a-junk into the next room is not one I wish to relive anytime soon.

Pushing my mouse around isn't quite as cumbersome as hauling around a heavy sofa, but I'll probably be just as frustrated once I start trying to tinker with the HTML codes while still using dialup. So expect to see this page change along with my mood.

Ha, good luck to ya.
