It Was Time for a Change

This wasn't really a change. I had this look some time ago. Maybe four years ago. But it seems that the different options for the layout haven't changed in the years I've been blogging. What a pity. It is a wide selection - kind of - but mostly it is the same 12 or 16 templates in different colour schemes. So, not truly a huge selection.

But change the title and the image at the top, finagle the colours to work more for you and suddenly life is good!

And since that ferocious kitten Siobhan has taken over, this is a good look for it. (She is ferocious, but she loves me even if her idea of great affection is sinking her teeth into whatever available square inch of my foot is visible.)

This will be a positive thing. Sometimes you just need to change a couple of things to make life really nice. I can't change the house or renovate a room, so I change what I can.

I'll be posting about some things this weekend: the unbelievable weather; the new Star Trek movie, which is awesome!; Siobhan, of course; and the Installation dinner.

You can thank the kitty for this. I figure she should be immortalised on here.

So welcome to a new chapter in blogging for me!

I didn't see the old blog look but I like this one. Wouldn't you think though after this many years Blogger would come up with something new?

My son and DIL have a vicious cat, but it doesn't attack them. She isn't quite as nice to others. ;)

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment about the Xanax. I couldn't count the times I've been to the ER before I found out about panic attacks.

I like your page no matter what the color or style!
If you want a completely new look and don't want the small selection at Blogger, go to the internet for free templates.
I haven't tried them, but another bloggie friend has and her page looks nice. I have been thinking about changing my page for some time now, but for as often as I'm there these days it didn't seem worth it. Maybe yours will inspire me to make the move.

We have a cat, Greta, who isn't very friendly with most people. She hangs out in my son's room all the time and likes him but the rest of us she could care less. Sometimes it'll seem like she's being nice and I'll go to pet her but she doesn't allow that for long and if I don't stop at a certain point, I'll have major scratches to attend to.

I thought the previews for Star Trek looked good. We were going to try and see a movie this weekend but haven't gotten to it yet. Hubs wants to see The Soloist. I heard the book was
10x better. I sort of want to see Angels and Demons.

Hope you are having a nice weekend. :)

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Image
Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour. [From Latin tinctus (a dyeing) + mutation (changing).] Brobdingnagian (brob-ding-NAG-ee-uhn) adjective Of gigantic size. [After Brobdingnag, the fictional region where everything was enormous

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
