Look, it's a blog redesign!

You might notice this blog's spiffy new design that was recently done by the ever-fabulous Paul Sicard, whom I had the foresight to marry in 2002. I've even changed the name to better reflect what this blog is; an outlet for the many shiny things that I'm attracted to in the pop culture landscape. 

The image in the background is one I took in the artists lounge at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The whole thing was decorated with a "Hotel California" theme, since the Eagles were playing the festival.

You may have already seen this column I wrote for the Statesman on the festival.
  

Awesome spot at the "Hotel California" themed ACL artists lounge!
