Thanks to the lovely and talented Megan, the lovely and talented Captain Jack Sparrow now graces my blog! As it says, I'm fond of pirates, too :-) Thank you, Megan, it's spectacular!!! If you're looking for a new blog design or a new blog set up, check out her design site, at Webundance.

And while we're on the subject of my favorite pirate, I ran across an article the other day, in which the author, Alix North, talks about "...the curious magnetism of one Captain Jack Sparrow." She went on to say, "...what is it this seemingly drunken character inspires in viewers? What curiousity does he awaken, what needs does he speak to? What lessons does he have to share?" Read the article, it's quite interesting...

I was wandering around Harvard Square in Cambridge tonight when I saw a pirate display in a children's store and snapped this pic:

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!

Ahoy, don't forget, September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, garrrr!

Arrr I should have talked like a pirate at the health fair today. Arrr you blood pressure is too high matey! Walk the plank!

Love the new look!!

Lovely!

Oh this is very cool!

I don't see it! I've cleared cache, and STILL don't see it in FF or IE.

Waaaahhhhh.....

D'oh. I had to switch to it! Cute! (hubba hubba)

OK, Deb just fell off her chair....she is jealous....

Now YOU come over here and spoon her!

Wowo that shot of thebook came out great even through a windowpane!

WOW! I like it but it's something to get used to considering I was used to seeing Snape every time. I love Johnny though, just something I have to get used too. I don't think it'll be too hard though considering it IS Johnny!

I don't see it either! I've cleared out the cache, and tried it on safari and FF, and no change at all!!

I agree...WAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!

duh. Okay. Found the new skin. It's up, and it is savvy. . . . :)

Johnny Depp is delicious. I definitely like the new skin. :)

If you were in California, you could see a Pirate Film Festival!

Like the new design, very fun and very piratey. Nice to have something new. Good job Megan!

Yes indeed, Int. Talk like a Pirate Day is fast approaching! Shiver me timbers!

Your new theme is fantastic. I love it!

I ran right over and changed the blog skin. Sigh. Drool.

I heart your pirate theme..because...well...I am fond of pirates too :D

Great Job Megan!
