Well, it was bound to happen. No sooner than I completely reject and abandon MySpace blogs and sign up (and advertise and write) for a totally new “Google Blog”, I get completely sick of it and move somewhere else. Really, I’m doing this just to fuck with you guys, but I hope you’re all content with my new choice to move the city here to WordPress. Not only do I think the layout is a lot cleaner, but it provides me with a lot more admin options and also shows you guys my Twitter feed so you never have to sign up for a twitter account! You’re all very, very welcome. Also I think there may be a way for you guys to subscribe to the posts, but I’m not sure so I’ll let you know.
More good news is that (all on my own) I worked out an update schedule so that you guys can come to rely on set in stone posting days that will occur regularly every week barring some sort of horrible catastrophe. These days will always be Monday, Wednesday, and naturally Friday. To those of you who are saying that I’m just blatantly stealing Penny Arcade’s business model, I appreciate that you read the same blogs I do. Moving on.
Today is Earth Day, which is a holiday steeped in religious fanaticism and time-honored traditions; it is like Christmas and New Years and Groundhog Day all rolled into one, and I’ve never been one to shy away from ultra mega combo holidays (like St. Patrick’s Easter Day Eve). So, my Earth Day present to you (not to the Earth–it gets enough from me) is this fantastic link to an instructional video on how to make your own messenger bags out of plastic grocery bags. Make no mistake, it is absolutely bizarre and I’m having a hard time deciding between the guy and the girl who’s into this craze more, but hey, they’re kinda helping the environment (?).
I’ve also decided to cave and do weekly box-office predictions (old-school style) on Fridays of every week. I’m not especially good at it, and if anything it’ll give you guys a chance to challenge me and most likely win this contest on a weekly basis. It’s like the at-home game version of my blog that you win by coming on the show. Congratulations!
Also, a very happy birthday to Brandy, a former co-worker of mine and regular reader of my blog. I don’t know much about Brandy, other than that she has kids and talks about them on Facebook. So, you can all help her celebrate by finding her on Facebook and saying something about her kids. OH, also, happy belated birthday to Jenifer, who is also a regular reader but does not have kids.
See you guys on Friday.
