Something New....

As the discerning (and those with actual eyes) will no doubt notice, my layout has changed. A long time friend who, every time he visits my blog winces over the Internet. Today, our convo went something like this:

Him: What was your blog again?

Me: (website)

Him: (redacted)! We've got to get you updated! Your colors are seizure inducing!

Me: I like them...they remind me of a watermelon.

Him: seizuremelon...

I rather liked my amateur efforts at a header. I found it fresh and bright, and I especially liked my renaissance painting graphic of the noble looking lady stooping to listen at the tapestries.

That said, once he put the name of seizuremelon to it, I knew that he was right. So, what you see are his efforts. The lady up top does not have my brown eyes (which I like to think of as "coffee-colored"), but she does do a good job of inviting you in on tidbits of interest. I would have hired her.

If I held auditions.

If I had money.

So, let me know what you think!

She probably has brown eyes and those are just blue contacts. Actually, I do like the fresh look of it, though I am sad to see renaissance lady go. Se had the decency to look secretive while eavesdropping, while Missy here looks downright proud of herself.

I did not think that anyone actually had eyes like that outside of cheap fiction, but catchy layout...

I really *did* like renaissance lady. She seemed very proper. I'm afraid that these are the two sides to my personality. I think that Missy (as you have so delightfully called her) is what people think I am, where ren lady is what is really going on when you get down to it.

Thanks, oh lurking one!

Seizuremelons sound like they might be the merchandise being sold by Questionable Watermelon Man at McClatchy Park.

Questionable indeed. The question remains ...what special effects would come with the seizures?
