Extreme Makeover: Blogcast Edition 2026

    So, I've been thinking about a design upgrade to my blog. When I first started this many, many years ago, I was just fooling around. I didn't give too much thought about what I could be doing with this thing. As such, I skipped a few details involving the design. Really. Since I didn't have a computer, I was forced to fix up my blog in short increments whenever I could steal some extra time at a local library while using their computers. Recently, I've been noticing the look of my blog whenever I have to go and post it when it shows up in my Memories on Facebook. The blog looks so dull, especially when compared to other things I see online. It just makes me want to change the entire setup however I can. Yes, I have a computer and almost unlimited time just to make everything just right, but I just don't have that much impetus to actually make the changes. I just want to update things for a better look, you know?

    Okay, full disclosure.  I have a confession. I didn't have a good idea for the subject of today's post. None. See, I have a slight problem. Today's post was supposed to be the 2026 update to My Culinary Journey series from last year. However, I wanted to go on my annual summer shopping trip first, in case I ate at a new place. The trip got delayed for many issues that includes fixing my broken glasses and avoiding some bad weather. As such, I still haven't gone yet, but I am scheduled to go very soon still. Starting next week, I have at least two, probably three, posts planned that I couldn't change the dates for, as they are tied to an event in early July. After that, then I can go back to the many ideas I've got planned, including that update. 

    For today, I'm just goofing around, writing whatever I can so that I can keep to my weekly schedule. The teaser for the link I'll be posting on Facebook will include my taste test of Mug Vanilla Howler. Spoiler, I'm not sure I liked it.

    Random thought. I've been seeing a lot of vehicles with a matte grey finish lately. I really hate it, as something about them is unsettling. The flat dull sameness of these vehicles just feels off somehow. The fact that so many just seemed to pop up suddenly all but scares me. It is almost like the things aren't real or maybe not of this world. If the vehicles were all the same make and model, I think it would make more sense. However, these are coming from different companies and brands. Maybe I would feel different if they were shiny, reflecting the sun proving their reality. These are just a dull dark gray, otherworldly in a negative sense. They do not belong to this world, but another.

    As to next week's post, I hid a big clue in these ramblings. Do you wanna find it?
