So yes, some of you saw yesterday that I got a new look. My designer, Sadie Olive, said yesterday that we were ready to put it up but I didn't know it'd be, you know, right then. Seconds later I got an email from Faithful Reader Sleeping Beauty and I figured out it must be up. Or that she was suddenly Psychic Beauty.
The people up there are Norma and Vern, the couple we don't know but whose photo albums we have and who we're obsessed with. They are the reason we are in a documentary about people who collect pictures. Let's link to my trailer again, shall we?
Someone's linkin' Nebraska again. Some days I link to nothing, and then other days I have to link to 945 things. You know it's dcrmom's fault that I even know how to link. Let's link to dcrmom.
Hey, did you ever read my comments when I had dinner with dcrmom a few months back? Someone yelled at me for being friends with a conservative Republican and said I wasn't open-minded for allowing her into my life. I loved that. "Be open-minded! Only talk to people who are exactly like you! That's called tolerance!"
Now, see, a link to that post would be appropriate here. Eh.
Geez Louise, I am SUPPOSED to be talking about my redesign. (I just totally linked to a random person named Louise and am so, so in love with self.)
So yeah, that couple is Norma and Vern, and of course I told her we had to throw in a pie somewhere, and when I looked at her other blogs she designed, I always liked the blogs with birds in them. So I told her to throw in some birds. So now I have not four-and-twenty blackbirds and also some swallows.
Oh, and I just like moons. Plus also 2, I am born under the sign of Cancer and we are also known as the Moon Child. Because Los Angeles called and wants its astrology facts back. Did I ever tell you my first job in LA was editing at the place they make those horoscopes in a tube? You know, the ones you can get for a dollar or two at the checkout counter at Rite-Aid? Yeah. They did my astrological chart before they hired me. Swear.
Finally, when I was telling the designer things I liked, I said I like vintage-y, sort of rural, sort of anything from Charlotte's Web kind of stuff, and she threw in the county fair look and you know Marvin proposed on a Ferris wheel so this is perfect.
So that is why I have what I have up there in my masthead. Basically it's a bunch of junk I like. We've all been staring at those cherries for nearly two years. It was time to spit out the pit and move on.
Um. I just blogged about my blog. Oy.
