A Blast from the Past

So a while ago, I had a theme nearly exactly like this, entitled “The Lazy Canadian” (as they all are), but it was version 9.  Now I’m on version 11, which is based on the same theme 9 was, Veritgo, by Brian Gardner… except that this theme is based on version 3 of said theme, whereas the old one was based on version 1.

Anyway, this new theme is pretty much the same, ‘cept with widget support, and a slightly updated colour scheme (which no one will notice, as two colours are just two values off of the old ones.  Seriously.  That minscule a detail.)

Oh, and I’ve removed the in-line Google ads.  They just made the blog look like crap.  I’ll keep the one in the sidebar, if only because I have some crazy dream wherein I get even $20 from Google. ;)

I found myself bored with blogging, and I was relying on Twitter way too much, so I decided to give the blog a visual refresh.  But I just couldn’t find a theme I liked at all, and I had an entire creative block.  So I did what anyone does when they can’t think of something new–I fell back on my previous work.  Same colour scheme (mostly), same codebase, updated style and widgets.  I like the blog the way it is right now, if only because I was so damn sick of blue.

    Hey, I won $1,000 on a slot machine today. Well, it was technically $1,001, but why quibble?

    Dayum. Nicely done. Feel free to share the love. (Even $0.01 of it. ;))

    Hey, I heard from Meg Marco that Target wouldn’t let you return a pair of shoes you just ordered. Make sure you get in touch w/ that manager whose number you got from customer service. That’s unacceptable.

    That *is* unacceptable, considering Target doesn’t even have any stores in Canada, and I’ve only been to the States once… when I was 4.

    Just when you think you couldn’t hate Meg Marco enough, she comes up with this:

    “Help! Chase Suddenly Wants *ME* To Buy Tons Of Flood Insurance!”
