Oooh, Look At Me, Playing in HTML

So. I've been toying with the idea for a couple of weeks of changing the font in Betland. Think of it as painting the Tilt-A-Whirl green instead of red. I tried the Comic Sans font and it just didn't fit at all, but this is Georgia. I kind of like it. (I guess I'm like the old Brian Jonestown Massacre right before they got arrested; all complimentary about Georgia and shit.)

Opinions, anyone? Hate this? Like it? Care for me to try something else?

Other than that, nothing much to report. Had a late night pedicure. Toe color? Red Red Rhine, part of OPI's European Collection. Susan, my beautiful pedicurist with the wonderful hands, is doing fine. She's about four months along in her pregnancy and the doctors have told her she's having a girl, but she's not taking total stock in it yet. Even though I think she wants a girl.

Oh, and to the pedicure I wore - my pajamas. As I was sitting letting my toes dry, I heard a lady getting a late-night manicure up front say, "I should have just worn my pajamas here, then I could go home and go straight to bed." I yelled, a disembodied voice, "I did!" When I walked up front, the lady started laughing, astonished that I really did wear my pajamas.

Oh, here's another idea to mull over for the weekend. I'm contemplating bringing Acromania back in 2005. Back months ago, someone (and I think it was Venice or LilyG) suggested a rotating guest voting system whereas the person who wins one week is automatically the judge the next week. That way a different winner is guaranteed each week. I'd be amenable to that if you all would.

Any other ideas? Do you like the topic acros? Do you particularly need the whole "build up" to the winners on Tuesday (with all the entries listed again), or would you be happy with the winners announced in the Olympic Update? Or should I just let Acro die a quiet death and use the acrobasket for apples?

I've also got a bid in on Ebay for a new volume of recipe cards! The picture's quite small, but I think it's a different set than any I've used so far. I should know next week if I get them, though I can't imagine anyone would want them but me.

And that's where the blog ends and the weekend starts. I just had a jumbo cup of coffee, so I'll probably be up late, which is good, as maybe I can catch an episode of "The Name's the Same." By the way, when I blogged about it, I mis-named the host. He isn't Roger Q, he's Robert Q. A thousand apologies. And guess what. The episodes of "What's My Line" I've seen of late are not sponsored by Stopette (Poof! There goes perspiration!). It's been Remington shavers. Fuck Remington shavers. I want Stopette!

Betland's Olympic Update:
* I've been spending way too much time lately trying to devise what my ideal Match Game panel would be. I have two problems: the first chair on the lower tier, and do I want Avery Schriber or Orson Bean. (See, Fannie Flagg and Patti Deutsch use the same chair.) So, if it's a perfect world and I could move one of the ladies, I guess it would be: top tier: Avery/Orson, Brett, Charles - bottom tier: Fannie, Richard, Patti. If I had to choose and put one of the "regular" first chair bottom rowers in, I guess my bottom tier would be Sarah Kennedy, Richard, and Patti. Sarah Kennedy. I don't know, I just like her. She's kicky.
