I just walked downstairs and my cat Googie meowed at me in the most forlorn way possible. I responded in a similar fashion, and we carried on about a minute of conversation. After that i looked him squarely in the eye and asked him if he was hungry, but he didn’t respond. I raised my voice as if talking to a foreign tourist and asked him again (actually believing he might understand me), but i just got a weak meow in return.

Was that supposed to mean he was hungry?

So, looking at P.B i have this intense urge to spend the day getting back on it. How sad is my life? Didn’t i just say 12hours ago that i would let it alone for today? Meanwhile, three highly endorsable blogs i’ve only mentioned in passing so far are:

Prolific – Now totally compatible with Netscape, and she even came and read my site when i referenced her yesterday. She’s quality stuff.

Beatiful Freak – I’ve found myself reading her site almost regularly since i fist saw the link to it, so it must be good.

*riotHERO – So far he’s the #1 P.B of the day, and he actually seems to write in paragraphs, so i’m gonna go ahead and endorse him just out of admiration of his actually typing whole paragraphs. But, fun to read too

Not So Soft – Yeah, i know that makes four. However, she’s on my sidebar, so you should be there right now! Don’t you listen to anything i say?

Chances of actual content later. Really….

This one’s courtesy of /usr/bin/girl. Can you imagine a world without Amazon.com? While i’m not exactly surprised that Amazon is bleeding cash at such a startling rate, i suppose i expected more of them. Why? Because CDnow went through a similar conundrum earlier this year, and as far as i know they are still headed to go under sometime next year. These companies offer discounts as deep as Circuit City or Best Buy on books and CDs, but those two real stores support those purchases by also selling appliances, computers, and televisions. CDnow has no diversification, and Amazon diversified their product by picking up movies and CDs. Why, oh why, did they see the need to compete with CDnow? Wouldn’t have been better for the both of them to join forces? Or something… Anyhow, it just seems like anyone could have anticipated this. CDnow had several chances to bail themselves out earlier in the process with possible merges with the likes of Columbia House. Sadly, at last check the outlook isn’t good for them. I, of course, am pissed off: other than using their site as my at a glance discography for any artist in the world, i wanted to apply for a co-op job there. Oh well, back to packing.

So, i of course just got up. I didn’t expect to sleep into the mid day because i got up at a very reasonable hour yesterday; oh well. I have to get up at 9am tomorrow either way to sign my lease and head out to the coffee shop, so i’ve really only got 8 usefull hours today, tops. If you catch me blogging alot, please yell at me to go downstairs and pack. Cause i should definitely be packing. Well, repacking. Somehow we managed to get everything here, but some boxes are just a random mix of coffee mugs, sheet music, and pillow cases. Gotta fix that.

Curiously, after my three day reign of absolute terror over the P.B. list, i have yet to find a link to me on any other blog (except the mutual luuuve with Not So Soft). I suppose i’m not exactly being friendly, but i was sorta hoping the folks at Survivor Blog would invite me over to the island for drinks (or at least i would get a two word plug from usr/bin/, but i suppose she’s been on the top of that list for months now and so doesn’t check in too much). So, if you link me please let me know so i can say sexy sexy things about your blog here. Not that i’m asking you to link to me. Because i’m not.

Anyhow, now that i’ve essentially proven to myself that i can be #1 on the list, i will revert to a more “normal” update schema. Or, maybe this is the normal one. We’ll see when i wake up.
