Going Down The Rabbit Hole

Are suppositories suppose to be bright orange?

Well there was a lot of stuff I wanted to get done this week, one most definitely being a new video cast but with this cold severely kicking my ass, trying to convey something while hacking, sniffling and sneezing wouldn’t be cute, and I got to preserve my sexy. Maybe I should get the video cast done, because I do have some things to share and confess that will definitely “crack the Internet” or maybe I’m just exaggerating again.

Now excuse me, because I gotta go take this horse pill.

Losin’ Weight

PhillyBred.com is losing some girth and slimming down. Kind of like making alterations to a pink Chanel suit, I’ve been tweaking and chopping up Michael Heilemann’s Kurbick template to make it look different but still the same.

So essentially what I’ve done to trim down the look is:

    -resized the page so that its 700px instead of 760px
    -changed out the masthead
    -redid several pages (photo gallery, archives, & about
    -added a colophon
    -added several plugins for various functionality (Noteworthy & Weighted Categories)

So now hopefully Phillybred.com can finally fit into those nice Ecko jeans hanging in it closet.

There are some things in life that I’m afraid of; spiders, being homeless, my dentist but not HIV/AIDS. Some time after my mom found out about my preferences, we had a lengthy discussion about grandchildren, health issues and my safety. She told that she was afraid for me, afraid to have to bury her only child. That was the one thing you would never be able to handle and made me promise to be smart about the choices I make in life. That was six years ago and I still uphold that promise and get tested every six months (every April and October). For me, the best way to stay safe is to be educated and that’s why I’m not afraid of HIV and AIDS. Not if I can only do the same thing about spiders.
