Many months ago ACW threw a house-warming party and I went, tortured his cat, and got a look at his dining room. Perhaps coincidentally, the color green he and ACWF had chosen for the room was the same shade of green of his at the time current Blogspot blog. When she arrived, Zenchick pointed this out and couldn’t stop laughing.
Flash forward to a few weeks ago. Zenchick and I meet at her apartment before heading to Hampden to meet Broadsheet for lunch. I clear my throat, remind her about her comments regarding ACW’s dining room, then inquire if she’s aware her wall is the exact same color as her own blog?
I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile, but since ACW went and bought his own domain, I thought now was probably preferable to later.
Also, brief congratulations due to both ACW and Fool for getting Grown Up Blogs of their very own. Yes, congratulations on forcing me to waste valuable post writing time to update my blogrolls with your new web addresses. [NapoleanDynamite]God![/NapoleanDynamite] (That goes for her, too). [NapoleanDynamite]Double God![/NapoleanDynamite]
Update:
also, congrats to Jason J. Thomas on his new domain!
All the colors on my blog are in different rooms in my house. In fact those are some of my favorite colors to wear. I love color! I never thought of that until I saw your post.

Oh, don’t be such a baby.

Isn’t that funny? Esp. because while I did paint my living room, I did not design my blog.
Nor did the person who designed it ever see my living room, or meet me in person for that matter.
(ACW: you need a new line, man)

Actually, I would make the argument that my old blog was grown-up. The problem was in its extensibility–of which WordPress is quite extensible–and location. Moving to my own host allows me to own the data in the event I decide to move to a different host or platform.
Thanks for the kudos, though.

Jason,
Actually it was more, “Oh, wow! Jason moved too!” and tagging my congrats to you on as “…on his new domain.” :)
