Update

Well,

I suppose that it is time to update y'all about life. For those of you who still read this (i.e. - nobody), and haven't talked to me in awhile, here is the skinny about my life. Things have been crazy for the past while. I have been traveling all over the place for grad school interviews and have been super busy with work and school. This semester I have been to:

Phoenix
Long Beach
St. Louis
Seattle
New York City

Dang! That's a lot. Anyway, I'm not going to bother with putting up my silly graphic with all of the grad schools, so I will make my big announcement right now:

I am going to NYU!

So that means that I will be moving to the Big Apple and will be there for 5-6 years. Crazy. I never pictured myself there, but that's where it is going to be. I actually only applied so that I could possibly get a cheap trip out there, and now my life is going to happen out there. I am still in a bit of shock. So there you have it. I am done with finals and walk on Friday, I have an apartment lined up in NY (and no, it's not cheap), funding, insurance and the whole ball of wax. Guess this means that I am growing up. And to think, not that long ago, I had hair. Well, sort of.

The Dawn of a New Era

Without any further ado, I would like to announce the relaunch of the Scrumpestuous Observer-Picayune (the crowd erupts in cheering). I know, I know, you are all thrilled (cheering begins to die and then suddenly, as if by an act of divine intervention, it begins anew). No really, please stop (as the crowd is a polite one, the cheering ceases). Anyway, school is out and I am hoping to pay more attention to my journalistic duties, and as motivation, I decided to make the blog look (hopefully) cooler. It still isn't done, I have a few kinks to iron out in the design (the box around the profile...) but I hope that you enjoy the new look. As you might have guessed, I didn't really pick the color scheme until last, so if you have any suggestions, I am open to them. The center of the whole design is the new banner announcing the blog. I would have to say that I was shooting for something that could be described as hip-cartoony-eclectic, and I think I did a pretty OK job. Yet, as I look at it, it always reminds me a bit of the opening credits to Ghostwriter. Odd. Anyway, expect more from me in the future as I fulfil my goal to fill your life with crap from mine. Enjoy, and welcome to the new blog!
