I can’t believe it’s Friday! This week went by so quickly!
Last night I joined my parents for DeLorenzo’s pizza. It was so yummy! We ordered a small 1/2 meatball and 1/2 sausage and mushroom and a small extra tomato. My mom said how nice it was for me to join them since she rarely sees me anymore.
Tonight is Rockabilly night in Phoenixville with the Rivers Rockabilly Trio. I think I am going to wear my new H&M black mini dress. Or my black and white striped dress. Or my pink and white striped dress. Probably the black mini dress. Audra and Steve won’t be joining us as I had thought. Steve apparently wasn’t taken with the Rivers when he heard them perform at Blobfest. I can’t quite understand how someone wouldn’t like this type of music but I am sure out there somewhere someone is saying, “I can’t believe she doesn’t love RAP, I mean who in their right mind doesn’t just love Gangsta Rap?!” Of course, I don’t mind all types of rap music. Just yesterday I was listening to MC Hammer’s Hammer Time in the car and I was getting down like any 31-year old white woman would get down listening to The HAMMER! I also like the songs, Parents Just Don’t Understand and I Like Big Butts. I am sure there are a few other Rap songs I like although I suspect that they are novelty rap songs. Many years ago I saw Legends in Concert in Atlantic City and the Elvis Impersonator actually performed a RAP interlude in the middle of Suspicious Minds. At the time I was disgusted! Elvis NEVER rapped! Now that I am older, if I saw it again, I think I would be more accepting.
At pizza last night my father said to me that he agrees with Lisa. He doesn’t like the new Donnaville layout. He said that it doesn’t feel as intimate and he is unnerved by the fish-eye wallpaper. Maybe I need to tone the design down a bit? I gotta think about it. I really would like to have someone design something especially nice for me but the one designer I contacted said she didn’t have the time. I’ll figure something out.
I like the new design, and would love to know how to get the borders to scale away at lower resolution.
My vote is to keep it. You liked it, that’s why you chose it. Compromising is not in your nature.
(even though Rosa says I don’t know anything about you)
Re: rap, I also like “Mama Said Knock You Out”
As a “designer”, I must say that I like the new design. I think the muted colors on the side offset by your pink Donnaville-logo really capture your retro sensibilities. I vote for you to keep it.
By the by … L.L. (Ladies Love) Cool J is at Musikfest this year. Mama Said Knock You Out, indeed. I wonder if he’ll do “I’m the Type of Guy”?
Why not the pink dress?

I don’t acknowledge rap as music since it lacks any semblance of melody (although I acknowledge hip-hop as [generally bad] music). Actually, my impression is that rap affectionados think MC Hammer was a sellout and a joke.
That pizza place must be really good. I’ll bet Philly has lots of really good pizza joints.
In the “did you know dept”-the inventor of the Philly Cheese Steak died a little while back.

In a rebuke to those who nag us about healthy eating, he *did* die of heart failure, but he was 90 YO.
I like the new layout.
The quick fix for the fish-eye wallpaper (which I kinda like) is to narrow your browser width: with the correct adjustment, you can get the full width of the text area without seeing any piscine peepers at all.
