On a side note..

First, thank you very much to the one person who has voted on my poll thus far. I will leave it up for a few days, in hopes that at least a couple more people will stop by.

Next, I have to say how much it astounds me that people come in here and ask where the paper towel is. We have a sink. The paper towel dispenser sits right above the sink. If you look straight ahead while standing at the sink, you can't miss it. Seriously. One of the managers just came in and asked for some paper towel, and I had to point him in the right direction. These people can find the sink to dump their skunky day-old coffee into, but they can't find the paper towel dispenser. Awesome.

Winds of Change

So, the general feeling I'm getting from the comments on my last post (and thank you all one million times for leaving them, you rock!) is one of "go for it". So I think I shall. I have decided that I am going to make a new blog, rather than give this one a facelift. It's been here for almost three years (can you believe that? I had to look it up, but there you have it.) and while I appreciate the history, a clean slate needs to be clean. There are, however, some complications that I must work through before all of this can happen.

1. I need a new blog name. I think I may even work in my real name there somewhere. My current bleary, hazy thought on this one is "Carrie Me Home (I'm tired!)" after the only knock-knock joke I've ever heard with my name in it. Other options.. perhaps something that combines the name of a hunter skill with the name of a paladin skill.. but it's not going to be just a WoW blog, so that might confuse people. Also, something involving dragons might be good too. Or even just "Clean Slate". Suggestions are welcome!

2. Once I've decided on a name, I need a new header image. Bansidhe did such a nice job on the one I have now, I'm kind of spoiled, and don't want just plain old boring Blogger stuff up there any more. If I go with the first title I mentioned, I'm thinking I'll have the title in the middle, with Cael in "feign death" pose on the left and Saraabi in "imp. feign death" pose on the right. I want to have my WoW characters in there somewhere, since I will be writing about them a lot. They're not the focus, but the game is a big part of what I do these days. Again, suggestions welcome. Once I get an idea of what I want, I may try to make it myself. We'll see.

3. ???

4. Profit! No, not really. I've never had ads on my blog before and I don't intend to start now. I'm not going to pay for my own domain either, I'm going to sit right here on Blogger where I've always been. I don't need anything fancy (custom header notwithstanding).

So there we have it. Lots of decisions to make, and formats to play with, colors, everything!
