MattPollard finally added me to his prestigious “links to read” section, the lazy english bastard. I suppose that means i actually have to read his site now, since i’ve had a link up to him for days now

:)

Joking. Matt’s linked to me enough already to get into the hall of fame, if there was such a hall for such an action. Thanx Matt! You ought to swing by Philly on your trip the United States; i’m sure to have phone service by then.

The eminently well designedPlastic Bag (formerly barbelith) is currently bemoaning his drop in standings at yet another irrelevant blog ranking site (beebo.org). I would suggest that the eminently well designed not worry about their irrelevant ranks, but look who’s talking.

My currently questionable status as a vegetarian aside, why must otherwise vegetarian foods use meat by-products for flavour? I just ate a Budget Gourmet stir fry dinner whose flavouring was made with chicken fat. The average consumer might not care, but to me it smelled like cat-food. I am off the opinion that you shouldn’t use meat for flavour unless necessary. I mean, why make us poor vegetarians examine the small print of your ingredients even when our meal only contain rice and string beans? Worse yet are restaurants who use bacon in their otherwise only vegetarian dishes and refuse to alter their recipes. Victims are usually potato skins, broccoli bites, chilli, bean dip, and tortilla soup.

After updating the about page i’ve moved on to actually working on the cast page. Try to remain calm. I’ll make sure to let you know as soon as i upload it (although you’ll be able to tell when the link on the sidebar goes live). Until then, either read the archive or surf from the sidebar.

Spoon (from IlOp) and I are bemoaning the fact that everyone else thinks we’re asexual or gay. Aside from the potential self esteem boosts i would get from heading to the “queer night” at the local clubs, i’m not really enjoying my status.
