I am just checking to see if I know how to post pictures in my new space.
Nope.
Well, it was a picture of Gabe and The Squad looking at a dump truck. If you are still curious, you can find it here. In the meantime, if any of you guys know an easy way to resize pictures on a mac, please let me know.
I’m here.
Let me know if there are any problems with any of my links or if anything looks wrong. I’ll most likely be changing all of my add ons all this week. Please let me know if you see anything that links to the old site.
Small World
I’m going to let her tell the story of how we figured this out, but in one of the strangest coincidences that I have ever been involved with it turns out that I went to the same high school as Sharon at It’s Okay, Sweetie, and I have known her brother since 6th grade. He rode my bus. Our parents live no more than two minutes from each other. I swear that I had no idea who she was when I gave her my Perfect Post award for May. I don’t even remember how I found her blog.
Conversation With Lumpyhead’s Mom
Lumpyhead’s Mom and I were talking about how it was sort of awkward telling people that we became friends because we met on the internet (These comments started it all).* It can be even more difficult for her to explain because a lot of her friends and family don’t know that she has a blog.
Here is the e-mail conversation we had trying to decide what we should tell the others.
S: We should tell people we met in NA or getting our GED’s. Way less embarrassing.**
LM: I met her at the free clinic while we were both getting tested.
S: We had the same pimp.
LM: The Greater DC Area Creed Fanclub
S: We could say we met at the bedwetting clinic.
BlogHer
Holy crap. Plane tickets to San Jose are EXPENSIVE. I hope next year they have BlogHer somewhere that I can drive to in less than three days. I thought the conference tickets were expensive, but wow. The irony is that after I buy this thing on my credit card it will probably push me over the edge and I’ll have enough points to get a free airline ticket. I need a quick show of hands of who is going. Am I going to meet a bunch of cool new people, or am I just going to spend all my time in a hotel room drinking with The Kaiser? (This is starting to sound more and more like college to me each time I talk about it).
* I know, since then I’ve talked to several people who have met a lot of friends on the internet and even people who met their spouses online. It’s not that weird. It’s just the look that you get from non-bloggers or people that are a generation older than us.
** Not that there is anything wrong with a getting a GED or being in NA or getting tested for disease. However, the Creed Fanclub could be grounds for the M’Naghten defense.
I am completely traumatized. My blog was down for at least 12 hours for no reason. (Thanks to those of you who noticed and asked about it.) I tried to sign up for a WordPress account and now I can’t log in over there, and I can’t get to their tech support without signing in. I’ve found someone who can fix it all for me, but she is on vacation.
Talk amongst yourselves, or go read The Official Site of Grant Miller. It makes me laugh a lot.
You could also talk about why the Knicks are going to suck next year, or If the bidding isn’t over yet you might still have a chance to go on ebay and get this Ben Roethlisberger Replica Helmet. (It’s is in much better taste than you would think for a link like that - thank you for the link Kaiser.)
In the meantime, unless some brilliant philanthropist knows how to solve all of my problems for free, I am going to go throw up because I am having unreasonable amounts of stress from this stupid blog move. Then I’ll probably go do some laundry.
It turns out that people aren’t searching for Brad Pitt’s Butt. Go figure. If this had been the “Doodlebops Without Makeup” or the “Laurie Berkners Boobs” or “Lazytown” experiment it would have been a smashing success. I have had at least 34 hits regarding the Doodlebops naked faces and eight recent hits for Laurie Berkner without clothes on (more if you count searches for her in compromising positions or other specific parts of her anatomy, including nipples specifically). Brad Pitt’s butt - no so much. The experiment was a bust.
We’ll try another experiment some time in July. I have it on good authority that the way to go is to post an mp3 of a song that the kids are looking for.
In the meantime, I will spare you the entire list (who keeps looking for “goon riding” and what the hell does that mean?), but here are some questions that people searched for that I can answer.
- Should I give Sarah some food?
Yes
- who narrates “The Deadliest Catch”? (I got this one twice)
Mike Rowe. I looked it up on imdb.
- Jordy what happened?
He is sixteen, lives in France, and hopes to be a techno star someday.
- calorie intake for rolos candies
Well, there are 228 calories in a package. So if there are 10 in a pack (and I’m just guessing here) it would be 22.8 calories each.
- Did Gabe die in the show “Six Feet Under”?
Yes.
- Want to join my fantasy football league?
I probably do.
Any other questions?
