Partly in honor of Jenny's "sexy" makeover on her dissertation blog, I thought it was high time that I deploy some of my own CSS skills, and add a seasonal flavor to my own blog. It's a little garish, yes, but then, so is this time of year.
Speaking of sexy makeovers, I caught a piece of the Lakers' cakewalk over the Mavericks tonight, and I was left with two overwhelming impressions. First, it looks good for the Lakers, assuming that Malone and Payton don't collapse down the stretch. Second, the Mavs uniforms look like they were made out of Glad trash bags, turned inside out and sewed together. I know that this is some sort of marketing thing that every sports league has bought into--new uniforms means new product, new demand, new revenue, blah blah blah. But these are the worst looking uniforms I've seen in some time, and the NBA has offered up some real stinkers.
At least the blog will change back to something a little more palatable in a couple of weeks.

Nice new look for you, c!
But for the Mavs:
The uniforms sucked.
Dirk's new haircut sucked.
Nash's shots sucked.
The standing O for Kobe sucked.
I can't believe the crapfest that was the Mav's opening night. What a letdown.
