It took me a while, but I’ve finally finished designing the theme for my twitter page. It’s suppose to feel as if the interface is sitting on a used wooden desk that’s filled with splatters of paint. The bird inks were added in later, because I realized that twitter’s mascot is a bird. As for the header, it’s actually very Vista / Windows 7 inspired — I wanted the header to look somewhat clean, and not so glossy and flashy. Of course, I’ve always been a fan of doodling on sticky notes, so there they are.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

How times have changed. Everyone seems to be growing up real fast, with talents to match our age!

A great and talented friend of mine Gloria Chic, who definitely have always had eyes for great aesthetics and designs decided to open up her very own fashion blog — urbanebloc.com. The blog not only have some great fashion tips, but everything else from street clothing to the hottest brands and the latest trends. Even the accessories at the local flea market gets picked up by her couture radar.

So go over to urbanebloc.com right this instant, and get your fashion rad on! I know I’ll definitely use some of her tips before spending those winter clothing fund.

The design, of course, is going to change completely once I get my head around the WP system, read up on some handy-dandy PHP and other fun coding/database books. Until then, I’m sticking with the default WordPress theme. This will be quite a fun and challenging project for me. The fact that I’m now paying for the domain and hosting will hopefully also keep me working till completion, which as we all know from a web-developer’s point of view, is never.

Those of you that followed along my older blogs know that I like to name them with some of my favourite jazz numbers. This one is no exception. “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” was written by Irvin Berlin for the 1936 film Follow the Fleet. Since then, the track has been covered by famous jazz musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat “King” Cole, and Tony Benette. The version I have uploaded is by Diana Krall in her 1999 album When I Look in Your Eyes under Impulse! Records. Produced by Dave Foster, Tommy LiPuma, and Johnny Mandel, the album ended up winning two Grammy’s including best engineered album in non-classical, as well as best jazz vocal. Lyrics after the jump.

There may be trouble ahead,
But while there’s music and moonlight,
And love and romance,
Let’s face the music and dance.

Before the fiddlers have fled,
Before they ask us to pay the bill,
And while we still have that chance,
Let’s face the music and dance.

Soon, we’ll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune, and then,
There may be teardrops to shed,
So while there’s music and moonlight,
And love and romance,
Let’s face the music and dance.
