Boy, I sure am glad i warned y'all I wouldn't be blogging much over the weekend. What was it, six nine entries? Yeah, sure am glad I let you know. We also achieved our fifth-highest hits ever, thanks to some Colorado 4x4ers who are into Gay Pirate Day bigtime. Welcome off-roaders: dare I assume you like it a bit rough?

Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.
Operation Global Media Domination: weekend operating procedures
FYI for anyone out there who is going to check the blog over the weekend; there probably won’t be much added here. Not only do I normally try to take the weekend off , but WordPress isn’t working in Internet Explorer right now okay, all fixed now. As well, an old friend is in town and I hope to be away from the keyboard, doing fun things.
There are 150+ entries here you can scroll through or just play with the tags to find everything you ever wanted to know about Giant Squid, Curling, or Aki Beam.
Irish Poet Stories: Synchronicity
Okay, this is JUST a little strange.
I do go to Gawker pretty much every day, but I don’t click on every link every day. I skipped this one entirely, which did not stop me from posting the exact same story in a completely different context earlier today. The blogosphere is a very strange place indeed, and apparently Frank McCourt rules it.
FMcC: So I was walking along the street one day, and I ran into one of my old students, who came up to me. He said, “Hey, Mr. McCourt! Remember me? I was one of your students!” and I said, “Yeah, Moose Klein, I remember you.” So he says, “Yeah! I was in your class at Stuy!” and I said, “Yes, Moose, I know.”
“Yeah, I was in your class for a year and a half, and because of that I’m a
Operation Global Media Domination: “and unnamed friend” edition

I’m sorry to have to dissappoint you, but I have no comment at this time.
We’re just good friends.
Welcome to the Blogroll: Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog
Very much in the spirit of yesterday’s advice column, we present Geoffrey Chaucer’s Friendster Blog, including the fabulous Aske Chaucere section.
Q: My betrothed, a most wicked man, betrayed me near as bad as Tereus
did Procne. His woman of choice commited, though, that villainy which women do best, and tempted him away. Presently it is not legal, where I live, to have either of them killed for this treachery — what shall I do to avenge the wrong they both have done to me, and to my virtue? Their joy at my grief does pain me so.
Cor Fracta Est
A: Ma Cher Coeur Brisee
Thoughe y love a goode revenge tragedie as much as the nexte guye, y muste counsel yow to a bettre path. Yow sholde maken pece and kepe faithe, not wyth thyne betrothede nor wyth this womanlie Diomede, but rathir with yowrselfe. For vengence aperteneth and longeth al oonly to juges. Remembre yow that pacience is a greet vertu of perfeccioun, and remembre that ther are tymes ordained unto al thynges by the first moevere — of the ookes, and of the hard stones, and of man and womman seen we also, in youthe as well as age, alle shal be dumped , a kyng as shall a page – som dumped on dates, som dumped by telephone, some dumped in compaignie, som dumped allone – ther helpeth noght, al goth that ilke weye.
And thus, take two pintes of hagen dasz dulce de leche, a ful seson of buffie the vampyre slayre, and calle me in the morninge.
