Links are yummy and good for you.

I don’t read MeFi too often, but when i do i get lots of content for my click. Although, i’m sure that a lot of it is true on some level other than the one where Microsoft holds 9-year-olds ransom for stock options, and the incidental research was enlightening. In other news, Dean takes one of America’s more brutal and pointless traditions to task much more succinctly than i have in the past. With medical and scientific support rapidly dwindling, here’s hoping that we’re seeing some progress in the right direction; mutilation does not equal tradition. Meanwhile, KevRock combines my favourite two things in the entire world of the internet: blogging and purity tests. Consider me hooked – and, my score is criminally low just based on the questions posted already. BTW, the real home of purity tests is here, and decidedly not anywhere near here. Speaking of which, at last check this new way to obsess over your popularity if sitemeter goes down says Rabi is just as popular than the bastardizers of the purity test (AKA TheSpark.com). Who knew? Of course, it also seems to be under the impression that i’m more often blogged than In Passing as well as Huny, so maybe there are some kinks to be worked out of the system. In other news, via Rabi’s trim new sidebar links i have found another totally disarming and entirely engaging webpage (because i haven’t found enough of them yet, apparently). Next, Pete over at Dependant Films clues us in on an interesting entanglement between Kevin Smith and GLAAD. I might not be a huge KS fan, but i think he’s in the right on this one. By the way, Jesus was not blonde. Oh, yeah, and my favourite web-game franchise got namechecked in a nationally syndicated magazine. Hits the stands on Monday, check page 73. Rock.

I figure i should actually blog every so often to keep my cred up ;)

Wow. I’m of the mind that your first kiss should be set in celluloid in your head to be replayed and replayed until all of the hiss and hum of the wear on the tape overcomes the memory, and you’re just left with a memory of a memory. At the same time, i detest those horrid contrived situations and wish they could all be forgotten about. Of course, if the two intersect…? I don’t know. This whole storytelling binge over at Benjy’s has got me paying rapt attention; and to think he was the one i didn’t like in the first week.

So, apparently my ass has become a meme . Who knew? It’s just like Ani with “People talk about my image like i come in two dimensions, like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind” … only, my perky ass is the sign of my declining musical relevance, or something. Meanwhile, have you heard about the tiny trouble Ani just had with the David Letterman show? Apparently she can talk about the girl police and her declining mind, but a mention of “white people are so scared of black people” is enough to get her plug pulled. Of course, i think we all wanted to hear “heartbreak even” anyhow. So… i think this battle ends in a tie. However, no matter what the final score, Amy and i have 4th row tickets to see Ani sing those songs and more this October. Rock.

Okay, so, we’re closing in on the last two songs, and I have a lot of people to thank for all of this, so bare with me for a minute.

First of all, i want to thank FryKitty for not only starting this whole shebang but for entertaining my various forms of insanity throughout the planning and implementation of the event (and for putting me on the cam portal at the last second … i think seeing my ass live on camera was a good reward for that, don’t you?).


Second, i want to thank all of the members of the Crushed List that encouraged me to participate in such reckless behaviour, especially Dane, Benjy, Liz, Cheese, Desh, Carton & Tony.

Third, thank you to Rabi for telling me (once again) that my music was worth her hard earned cash, even though i still refuse to accept it (or her cash).


Fourth, thank you to Mollie & Michael for inspiration and for strength and for two really good songs that i will play for you someday, i promise.

Fifth, thank you to all of my other sponsors who lit a fire under me to get this done even though i had no indication they even knew i played guitar before now: Tom, Martha, Nancy, Melissa, & Dave.

Not quite last, thanx and lol’s to supportcrime, Danica, Jerwin, Aim, Iza and fx for keeping me awake and enthusiastic from afternoon to midnight to afternoon again.


And, finally, Gina, who makes this all fun again and again and again.
