Linkstravaganza: Or, Smorgasblog Bits About Blogs And Other Geeky Things
A couple of brief smorgasblog thoughts is about all I can manage tonight, but still better than nothing.
1) I added a site counter to my site. Why? Because I could (and because there were easy instructions for total duh-heads like me). Now I will know for sure just how many hundreds and hundreds of lurkers are out there slurping up my every run-on sentence. Uh-huh. Ok, you five faithful readers, stop laughing.
2) I found a couple new blogs I adore: first, there are not enough glowy adjectives to describe the delightfully hilarious Tomato Nation (thanks Dri!). I scared the baby, who was nursing at the time I was reading it, because I was shaking with laughter. Dri also turned me onto Knotty Yarn, a personal blog by her friend Danielle who lives up in Alaska. (How can you NOT write a great personal blog when you live in Alaska? I'm just sayin'...great source material.) Then, there's the always thoughtful and often funny and unexpectedly poignant Waiter Rant, which The Attorney Wrangler turned me on to. Next, a couple I found by wandering around the links on Waiter Rant: Clublife (a terrifically written and endlessly fascinating blog about a bouncer in a Manhattan nightclub--the ex-sociologist in me LOVES this guy), The Gas Guy (a fabulous writer and modern-day philospher finding inspiration in a most unexpected, "Clerks"-like place), and The Family Man (a nicely written personal blog from a dad of two young boys). Truly there is some quality programming out there, folks. I could blogovate all day.
3) Josh is at Comic-con (what Dri calls "the nerd prom"). I'm not. I'm pretty sure that this sucks, but I'm trying to make the best of it. Hopefully I'll at least wind up with some good new reading material out of all this. But I miss "my people".
4) Holy crap it's way past my bedtime, again, and I've got to quit fooling around and go to bed or I will RUUUUUUUUEEEEE the day tomorrow. In fact I think I already have a whole bucket full of rue stored up waiting for me. Sigh.
Julie, thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog. Than you also for the mention and link in your text! I quite enjoyed your recent posts. I never will think of peaches the same way again. Our neighbor has a peach tree and several dozen fall into our yard each September. Now I will have a whole new appreciation of them.
Thanks again!
You. Let. Josh. Go. To. Comic-con. And. Stayed. Behind. With. Both. Kids.
Wow.
You are Wife Numero Uno. I blog in awe of such graciousness and generosity displayed to a spouse. I won't ask what he did to deserve this, because I know it must be far beyond anything I'm willing to do around the house. Or what he *will* to to compensate such an act. It frightens me to contemplate such debt. ;-)
