New Season, New Theme
Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday has passed, and I’m back in Los Angeles after a very relaxing break in Fresno (or near Fresno, I guess). And for those of you who regularly read this blog on it’s actual website (as opposed to those of you who subscribe), have noticed a subtle (or not so subtle) change to the format! One of the amazing things about WordPress is that it allows me to change the style of the blog without changing the content! So as fall has now passed and the Christmas season has unofficially begun (yes, I know it’s not quite December 2nd yet), I’ve changed my blog’s theme to a Christmas theme! Even better, I’ve installed a live internet radio station (songs tagged “Christmas” from LastFM) in the upper left corner of the site!
It seems as though lately, I’ve been reflecting on how I’m much different than when I was younger. I can recall growing up and always thinking it a bit excessive when the Christmas music was brought ought so quickly after Thanksgiving. As I child, for some reason, it didn’t seem right to be rocking out with Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Vince Guaraldi while still digesting the turkey leftovers that would no doubt remain until December 8th or so. Now, for some reason, I find myself doing that exact thing all over again. In fact, it’s been years (wow, 7 already!) since my permanent residence has had a Christmas tree and I’m finding myself in the need to get one! Maybe it’s that I’m getting older, or maybe it’s just that I need something to compensate for the 65 degree weather of a Christmas Season!

Love the new look!!! Very “Christmasy”.
Must be hard to experience the “season” of Christmas in a place that has only one season- balmy. Palm trees with lights and ornaments is truly sad.
