Is This Better?

Recent I changed the color scheme of my blog. I like Black and Gold/Yellow because they were my high school colors(Go RAMS), my college colors (Go Oles), and the colors of my favorite college/university team (Go Hawkeyes). But some people (don't worry I won't name names Arbusto and Mona) complained about it. Normally I would be a curmudgeon and not change, but instead I was in the Holiday spirit. So tell me what you think? Not as bright, but kept the same colors.

Rant of the Day:
Bretagne (little peninsula thing that sticks out into the Atlantic when you envision France, if you can) is known for wind and rain. Lots of wind and rain. So 3 years ago when I was studying there, I bought an umbrella of which I had high expectations. They were met. Until now that is. See for three years the thing would not budge in the wind. I used it in 40-50 m.p.h. winds and the thing would not reverse, bend, breakt, etc. Now, I am studying in Paris and recently they have had a few "tompetes" (I think that is how you spell it), which basically means lots of rain and even more wind. Think of a tropical storm/depression just not as much rain and not tropical whatsoever. Anyways my damn umbrella the other day was so strong that instead of flipping inside out like every other umbrella does in 45mph winds, it actually bent the main rod. My umbrella nearly broke in half and would have taken off like Mary Poppins on crack. Instead I was able to semi-salvage it and bend it back.
Flash forward to today. I am walking around and the damn thing flips inside out. The first fucking time it has done that in 3 years and it got even more bent. My umbrella is now more crooked than a Republican Congress.

So let's recap Furry's time in France (since it is almost over):
Lost luggage
Shat on by a bird (one of my few shirts when I had nothing, see above, and it was black)
Coming an entire month early because of my stupid French prof telling me the wrong date
Having no internship, which was promised to me, until my American prof found one for me 2 1/2 months later
Not getting laid (see previous posts from this month and Nov.)

All in all a typical 4 months for the Furry

GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE:

My bro (well more like his wife) had his baby the other day. It was by C-section, and I think everything is okay. My bro was too tired to give me specific details because he has been up for 50 hours straight before the birth. The new baby is named Gabriel. I have decided to call him Lil' Herky. My brother likes that nickname and hopefully it will make him a Hawkeye fan since he lives in that horrible state called Florida and his mom is a Gator alumnae.

DRINK RECAP FROM THURSDAY NIGHT

One of my friends had a birthday party at her place... I went, and drank even though I had work the next day at the law office. Suprisingly no hangover.
1 Kir
2 Beer/tequillas (something that I had never seen in a bottle before)
5 Martini Cokes (I know martini and coke doesn't sound good together, I didn't think so either, but it is really good)
3 Glasses of red wine

All done between 8-12

Saturday night should be fun, one of my friends promised me she was going to get me completely drunk. I don't think that is possible since I really haven't been yet, but we shall see. Possible scenarios if you don't see a post on Sunday:
Dead from alcohol poisoning
Lost in Paris and sleeping on a sidewalk
Still trying to get drunk
Joined a gang of illegal Romanian immigrents and are planning on taking over the Slovakian embassy
Sleeping with the girl who is taken me out (best option, least likely because after all it's me, Furry)
