Post-Rennaissance Revival

I think the change of seasons has knocked me off my game somewhat. Either that, or I'm borderline sick. At any rate, being under the weather doesn't make a guy want to write anything of substance, that's for sure. I'm still working in the background on new stylesheets and things for Ramble On, but it's slow going, because I don't want to have to pour through CSS all over again, and some of the MovableType plugins aren't working. The grand unleashing of the new blog design might have to wait until I have time and feel like doing it. I do know that I'm probably going to go with a pre-existing template, tweaked to my specifications - much like I did with the current design.

Things to mention:

• This past weekend, a boatload of people from Blacksburg came up for the Rennaissance Festival held in Crownsville, MD. It was a lot of fun to walk around and see all the shows and festive things going on. You definitely get to see all kinds of people - sometimes way more of them than you really want to - but I suppose it's all in the name of good fun. Thanks to Ben's mom for the tickets and costumes! With her generosity, I got to play pirate for a day, which was as awesome as you might think it would be. Pictures are posted on Flickr, naturally.
• Three cheers for working for the government! I received my letter in the mail today to get 15% off my monthly cell phone bill. It's the little perks...
• A shake of the magic 8-ball says that all signs are pointing towards me being able to go to the Maryland game this Thursday night with Jeanette and John-Michael of former ISE fame. This will be my first VT away game ever. Let's hope I survive!
