“This night’s a perfect shade of Dark Blue.” A new layout is up featuring Andrew McMahon and that amazing song. I love it so much.

PS: Remixx.net is now advertisement-free. Consequently, I’m now officially poor.

And now, I leave you with some quasi interesting facts that I learned while reading Fast Food Nation:
01. The McDonalds golden arches are more recognizable than the Christian cross.
02. Most of the food in fast food restaurants is automatically cooked by machines. The food arrives frozen, and shakes/sodas begin as syrup.
03. Fast food restaurants are now more attractive to armed robbers than convenience stores, gas stations, or banks.
04. McDonalds’ Chicken McNuggets are cooked in beef extract. In addition, they’re more fattening than the hamburgers.
That being said, I’m never going to eat at or work in a fast food restaurant ever again!

those facts sound gross. i dont think i’ll ever eat again! lol


Lime

That’s pretty gross, but I still will be eating my fast food! I don’t really like McDonalds though, they always seemed to be one of the lower-grade fast food places to me.


Mackenzie

this is a nice, calming layout.

i never liked mcdonald’s. i kind of knew all that stuff was true. the christian cross thing was a bit surprising though.


Anne

omg those facts are shocking!!!! eugh :s


Connie

i read the book on an airplane once, and after finishing, i looked suspiciously at the airline food. clean and simple layout, i like it. (: ashamed to say i don’t think i’ve heard of the song, however.


Alana

eww I had McDonalds chicken yesterday. Gah I feel really fat now…

By the way, great layout! I love the colors.


Chelly

I want to read Fast Food Nation. I think my sister had it but now I can’t find it. One of the books I’m currently reading is “Nickel and Dimed” which is kind of similar to FFN, Supersize Me, The Jungle, etc.

I actually love McDonalds (more so than Burger King) because of all the fatty goodness. I need the fat, heh.

This layout’s quite different than your usual ones. I like it. :)

I can’t believe you already applied to colleges!! I’m still taking my SAT I and IIs again. I’m worried about not getting into one of the colleges I want to apply to.


Rebecca

Ah yuck. I knew there was a reason I don’t eat fast food haha.

Great layout. I love how it looks so nice and neat.


Christina

Very nice layout :D

I want to read that book so bad, I must admit, I do enjoy anti-McDonald’s stuff. It’s like Satan, and I just want to be there the day that McDonald’s falls! If it does. You never know :D


Matt

This is the best layout I’ve seen all year.


beppe

Awesome new layout although I’ve never heard of Andrew McMahon before. lol


Anna

SCOTT! I LOVE THE LAYOUT!
Oh god.. I’m so in love with him, haha.
Okay, so maybe not love.. but ti’s a really really really deep obsession. Hah.


Alicia

That header image is pretty nice. I love that picture of Andrew.

And a note on refusing to eat fast food: I hope you don’t end up as a poor college kid. $1 chicken nuggets are the best thing that ever happened to me, sadly. ;-)


Dustin

Awesome layout Scott!!! Your site is awesome I really admire your work. Any way it is sad that our country recognizes the golden arches of McDonalds rather than the Christian Cross. Well have a good day


Fox

Money is highly overrated ;) That’s pretty nasty about the Mickey D’s stuff. I never knew that about the nuggets. I don’t think I’ll ever look at the golden arches the same way ever again. Nice site,BTW. First visit, probably not the last.


ALex

Love the layout as always. Dang there always so good.


Stephen

The new layout is good. Those fast food facts are sooo gross. The book sounds interesting.


Ashley

I’ve officially stopped eating fast food as of last week, it’s gross. The only good thing about it is the convience and the fact that it used to be cheap. The only really good fast food is Chick-Fil-A. I hate Wendy’s though. Everytime I get a drink there it tastes like hairspray. I have no idea why I know what hairspray tastes like, but I do. Anyways, the layout is really nice and simple, which I love.


AHHHHH

WORST.LAYOUT.EVER.


Henriette

Wow.. the layout looks awesome!! Great work on the site!! :D


Jennifer

Fast food is sickening. :/ I should really read that book.


Tania

I love the new layout! The colours are very nice.
And me? I planned to give up McDonalds for the rest of my life! I’m sick of like fake food…


Jenny

I love the layout/setup minus the colour shade on the header - there’s too much contrast between them I think.
Ew. McDonalds = fatty. Or like where fatkids go out to eat at their birthday parties.


Aline

“shakes/sodas begin as syrup”–> yes! and sometimes they donĀ“t put less syrup than they should to make it correctly and the sodas taste like water!

Nice site, I love it!


aldo

fact number four. that makes me sad, as I love my chicken nuggets, fat & all, haha.
I lovelovelove the layout. :D


Samantha

Well, I definitally hate McDonald’s now but.. the truth must be told. I love the new layout, Scott. It is lovely.


Sasha

Mm I love the song, AND the layout. :) Fast food + fast metabolism = love. I just ate a sausage mcmuffin today. :)


Jessica

Scott you have awesome taste in music. Gosh. Anyway, the layout looks great and I’m so glad the advertising is gone! Even though you can’t be an E-Bay-A-holic, atleast your site will be pretty :) … er.


Mike

I love that song, it is definitely one of their best ones from the album.

I ate McDonald’s this morning and I’ve felt like shit ever since. No more fast food for me!


Max

Wow I had no idea about the last one. I love the layout like always Scott. I really like how you are simplifying the site :)


Sarah

Wow, I used to eat out alot, but lately we haven’t because we’ve been getting grocerys. Good thing I hate MCDONALDS!! They have way to much grease all over their food..

Anyways, the new layout is AMAZING.


Andy

Hey! Dark Blue is definately one of my fave JM songs too. The whole cd rocks! “I’m Ready” is another great one. Anyway…sweet layout dude.


Nikki

Very nice layout! Well done, Scott.


Linds

the new layout looks awesome :D you did an amazing job :)


Jordan

I’m not extremely fond of Andrew McMahon and the bands he is in, though I do like the image you’ve used for this.

Fast Food Nation is a really good book. You should watch the movie “Super Size Me,” which is probably really good as well.


Nguyen

I would not work at Mcdonalds. People complain of the crappy pay and working conditions. So after doing some research I decided not to work there. But Wendy’s and Burger King sounds better than McD’s.

I”m sorry I”m slow. You are advertisement-free. Why don’t you get advertisement so you can get paid… i might forgot to read something.


Paola

Nice new layout, Scott. I love your choice of colours.
About fast food- it’s simply gross. I’ve been boycotting McDonald’s for ages now because everything in there is the epitome of gross, revolting.


Travis

omg. I found a spelling mistake in your blog.. wow. I’ve got to point this one out, because it doesn’t happen often. haha. Last sentence: “…restaurant every again!” vs “ever” which I’m guessing you were going for. :) The new layout looks great. I really love Jack’s Mannequin. :) About the fast food, McDonald’s chicken nuggets are cooked in beef extract?! lmfao. I wouldn’t have seen that one coming. Oh well - fast food = sick, anyways. :)


Kim

Love the new layout, Scott! Very simple and I love the colours.. Eww, I never want to work at a fast food place either…


Tiffany

This layout is very nice, i love it. ♥
In a way.. I think he looks somewhat like Jake Gyllenhaal.. Haha, but it’s just me :P Take care.


Amanda

wow, those facts were bloody offputting! But this layout is nice, sophisticated that the previous. :)


Skylar

Thats an awesome layout. :) I like it a lot. Also, in regard to your last post, I know how you feel. Bloggers block sucks. I hope you get over it and congrats with the applications!


J

Second to comment. I love the layout, and the song aswell.


Stephanie

First to comment. I love the layout. Very nice. :)


Mike

The new layout is hot. Best thing I’ve seen from you in a while.
