Watering Hole

Lotus Card Room and Cafe by dulcenea

I think the decorators of the Lotus Card Room and Cafe went a bit too literal with the notion of "bar as watering hole".

Also note that the white screen in the background was showing Devo's Whip it video while this shot was taken.

To Better See the Horror

Gasp! We've had three days of sunshine! According to the all knowing twitter it's the first time it had happened in over 279 days. All this sunny weather and the impending DOOM of rapture© day got me into a little bit of post apocalyptic mood. I wandered about the neighborhood and went to the scariest places I could find, so as to note them as places to avoid when we're running away from the zombie hordes.




Also, a few weeks ago i made an emergency preparedness plan.

Redesign

Are you reading this on facebook or perhaps your rss reader? Then you haven't yet seen the fabulous new redesign of my blog! Countless hour went into it and I can't decide if I like it. Trying to strike a balance between nice to look at and not overly girly/manly is more difficult than I anticipated.
I dislike that making something look cool has to mean that it sould be grey, shiny and covered in penises. Alright the penises are figurative but the sentiment stands: just because I'm a girl and appreciate asthetic doesn't mean I want my page to look like a scrapbook.
Sooo...combine templates with my limited knowledge of html (obtained at minority science camp in '95!) and it's difficult to  avoid a generic mush of webpage.  Go take a look. Did I do ok? Are the waves too much? Are you saying to yourself "Yes Gaby we all understand you're half Japanese no need to remind us"? What do you think of my header? I made it using Paint. What do you think of my header now? Comment!
