Pardon My Dust

October 13, 2005 | Category: In My Life



OK, how is it that nobody noticed the circles? I mean, the seashore-y squares were replaced with BIG BRIGHT CIRCLES! This somehow escapes everyone? Or, wait, is it that the circles are so HEINOUS that noone can bear to look? Is that it? You can tell me the truth. I can take it. It's not like I just QUIT MY JOB or anything. I'm not fragile. Oh, no. Don't think of me, scouring Monster in tears in one browser window while I frenetically mutilate my blog template in the other. I mean, just a regular day here, so feel free to mention the circles.

Or not.

(*ahem* I seem to have thrashed my Individual Archive Template into an ugliness heretofore never envisioned by human eyes. If anyone has ANY idea how to fix it (*cough* forgot to make a copy of the good one)... well, I'm offering chocolate here. The good stuff.)

Circles, squares ... I still can't get over "I QUIT!!!" Congratulations ~ I *know* you feel so liberated! Also, there's nothing like a job search in which you repeat, "It can't be any worse than where I was!" (I've been there!).

I still see squares. Lalalalala, you can't make me say they're circles!

I like the circles. They remind me of big bouncing balls so that we can all follow along with your singing at home.

La la la la-la la la la.

I like the circles :) Noticed them right away - although they do remind me of Wonder bread *after* someone mentioned it, I like the color combo - nice and Fall!

I like the circles they're very retro.

Love the dots. They seem happier than your previous header.

I noticed the circles, but only after I commented.

And I like them. Very 60s chic.

I just noticed the circles ... and I like them. Bright, light, sort of retro. They're cool.

I like the circles, but not as much as I've liked your past "looks". I don't know why I didn't notice them. It's not you, it's us. We're all blind and self-absorbed!
Will you have to change your name now that you are not working? Oooh, I see you've changed your "about me". Very nicely put.

Okay, I'll be brave and admit it. I am not keen on them. They have a clown-feel about them, and I don't see you in a clown-light in any way. I see you as more sophisticated :)

Posted by: Eyes for Lies on October 14, 2005 04:02 PM


I dig them. Very retro.

Crap. I should have previewed the previous comment first...

Try adding another "less than sign, forward slash, 'div', greater than sign" above your About Me div class.

Just a quick note on fixing your archives...

Try adding another right above your About Me div class.

Can I blame my lack of noticing said circles on the bloglines and being so struck by your ballsy move to quit your job? I am sooo green with envy you can call me mr. yuck

The circles remind me of Wonder Bread.

Posted by: Nancy Toby on October 14, 2005 09:13 AM


This is the first time I've seen the circles...and I like them!

Posted by: Cheryl on October 14, 2005 09:03 AM
