I should be in bed, but I finished work on a project this evening (well, "finished" -- lots of work left to do, but the thing hangs together well enough) and I finally got the energy up to sort through some music and pick out a new title for my journal. I settled on a song I think I've used before, but it's just such a damn good song.

So, new title, new name, new lyrics in the header; all three come from Leave The Light On, by Chris Smither, who you can see performing it here:

He's a hell of a songsmith and musician, and you should check out his website if you're into the music.

Sometimes I think about changing my journal design or my default icon, but I've had them for six years and I'm a little set in my ways. Clearly the Octogenarian Lawyer colour scheme is working for me.

First! \o/

And aww, I'm still a bit nostalgic for your Flobots Journal. :)

*hee* Nice choice!

Aww, new year changes!

I must say, I feel like I'm a real café member now that I've been hanging around so long. There are still more senior members than me, but at least I get all the jokes :D My point being, of course, that I have fond memories of other changes.

LOL! Of course you are a real cafe member!

Nice choice! Pretty slick for an octogenarian lawyer!

It's just the way I roll (in my buggy).

I can just see you trying to run over small children with your mobility scooter and waving your stick at them when they jump out of the way...

It's a shame you're not directly affected by the things I change in my journal enough to need to wave a cane in the air at me and scream about those damn kids on your lawn...

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, I don't mind people changing theirs, but I feel like I have logo recognition now or something :D

[sophie-spence.livejournal.com]

This. Maybe not the journal design as much, but the default icon definitely has logo status. :D

OMG, when I saw the title I totally thought that it was a male cover of Beth Hart's song by the same name, which I LOVE.

But I like this. :)

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Sorry! :D Glad you like this one, anyhow :D

Interesting factoid:

In the e-mail notification of your comment, the sponsored ad at the top of the message was for "male enforced chastity belts." How they got this cue from your name and comment, I have no idea.

!!?

Other than that I'm wearing one now?

(J/K. OMG. I do find the devices somewhat fascinating as objects d'art but wouldn't want to wear one.)

OHHH I bet it was when you said "male cover".

I think this song was the first one that I saw you change your journal title to. Which, thank you, because it made me look up the song and the song is so totally wonderful. Definitely one of my favourites.

There's something about a new year that makes housekeeping seem pleasant, isn't there? I gave my blog a bit of name change/gadget redux, too.
