Yes, that’s just it; when you realize it’s an archetype and not just a joke, it switches from a Harlequin novel to a Beckett play.

Coyote: I was on a Mac at work with IE 5.something. Were I you I’d nip over to Mozilla or oldversion.com and see if they’ve got any Firefox to fit. I switched and it helped.

Jean Teasdale is glorious in isolation. But I lost all interest when I started meeting her in real life. My last near-marriage experience was one. Had a heart and soul that wanted to collect all the beanie babies, had a site that should have come with a blood sugar test kit, the works.

Worse, when I started trucking I discovered that there are people out there who really do have that ornery perkiness, and Teasdale stopped being fun.

If Guido can only get back to what he was, he’d recapture that buzz. It’s that I think he’s gone stale because now he cares more about the hits than about the content of the blog, because he’s got money riding on it. Blogs need someone who is passionately engaged with their material, not with their numbers.

That advertising consortium is going to take a bath if they don’t redesign their ads. They look like two different, equally crappy ads instead of one big, crappy one.

I don’t know about the Zac thing, but I do get bored with the constant traffic bragging and whoring the blog out everywhere! Maybe it’s time for a Robert Catesby site to set up in competition ;)

Have you seen DeadJournal? After a few too many extra-wholesomey LJ’s, suicidal starts to look appealing. I just think, if I had all that time on my hands and all that money to spend, would I buy gingham and make a pinafore for my cat? NO. I WOULD NOT. And I certainly wouldn’t post it and ask my friends for comments. It would only start a round of bitter pinafore one-upmanship, and the world doesn’t need another one of those.
