Change Is Good

What I'm reading now:
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (Listening to the audio version. Excellent!)
Idlewild (Very interesting, quite different. Written by Carl Sagan's son, Nick)
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism (my favorite atheist book so far)

What I just finished:
You Suck: A Love Story (It made me LOL)
Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story (It sucked me in. Fun and funny.)
The City of Ember (movie was much better)
His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) (best trilogy I've ever read!)
The Heathen's Guide to World Religions (witty and informative)

What I'm waiting for, or what's waiting on my nightstand:
Microcosm: E. Coli and the New Science of Life (Vintage)
The Day of the Triffids

Great Stuff I Watched Recently:
War, Inc. (very clever satire from the headlines. cynical but funny)
Taken (gritty, violent, excellent retribution!)
The Day of the Triffids (BBC series. Good acting, 80's low budget effects)
City of Ember (DVD) (good movie, much better than the book)

Just a quick note to let you know that I have to change the theme here at Heaving Dead Cats. I found one I am in love with (I have no idea why, but it’s very different), and I’ll be trying to implement it as quickly and efficiently as possible, to impact you the least I can.

Change is good, my friends. As Angelina Jolie told Brad Pitt in Mr. and Mrs. Smith when he said he hated the curtains, “You’ll get used to it.” (By the way, that movie was quite hilarious, at least to my husband and I who have been married for 12 years)

I’ve always hated how slow this current theme loads, and today I was getting all kinds of errors which seemed to be theme related. So out with the old, in with the new.

Let me know if you encounter any problems. I’ll do my best to fix it as fast as I can.

Share and Enjoy:

Just found your site via The Friendly Atheist and wanted to give you a shout from my little corner of godfree existence in a red state. *hugs*

And, I blogrolled you.

Hey James, yeah, it’s wildly different isn’t it? I think it’s written much better, and it loads WAY faster! woot!

The new theme looks much more professional, although it does have it’s issues I think we can agree that it has far less then the previous one.

Good work.

I’d love to know what issues you’re having, GMN. Feel free to email me or leave comments and I’ll be happy to address the problems. I really want this theme and site to be smooth, relatively fast, and easy to use for all of us.
