55 ways to feed the blog
Darren Barefoot, over at Darrenbarefoot.com (how did he come up with that name? really, it’s remarkable the synchronicity you stumble across online, eh) has come up with a great, and universal, list of 55 things to blog about before you die. And you never know when that will be.
So get started.
The first 20:
- The Story of My Most Serious Injury
- The Person I Admire Most
- This Will Be My Epitaph
- Why I Love My Hometown
- Why I Hate My Hometown
- Why I Was a Childhood Bully
- How I Shop
- How I Choose to Spend My Money
- I Wish I Spent Less Money on This
- Why I’m in My Current Job
- My Ideal Job
- My High School Clique
- My Worst Subject in School
- If I Had a Super Power
- Here’s Where My Opinion Differs From the Majority
- Why I Voted the Way I Did in the Last Election
- Why I Don’t Vote
- The Cause I Really Believe In
- Why I Came To Religion
- Why I Don’t Believe Anymore
That should keep you busy for awhile, particularly if you click through and read the entire list. No more excuses, now! Just hit the keyboard, Gord. Type it all in, Lynn. Click on “Publish,” Trish…

Macleans Magazine: finally newsworthy
The correction they ran, after emailing all (both?) of their subscribers with the offending article:
And the potentially offensive subject line?
“Why don’t you go f*@! yourself”
In related news, how much joy do you think it gave the Globe and Mail to run that? NOOOOooobody does po-faced intramural sniping like us Canadians.

Celebrity Gossip: the roundup!
Because I have so many blogs, and because I am yea, very easily confused, forsooth, I wrote a post for Ayyyy.com which place does, in fact and in actuality, pay me to read gossip blogs (NOT kidding. Life is a cabaret, old chum) and say “go look at that…now go look at this…now look at that” etc.
Yes, I am getting paid to read gossip blogs.
My sister is going to eat her lips when she reads that.
In any case, here’s the post that was going to put food on my table this month, until I remembered that I’m only supposed to do this during the week. And it’s the weekend. And I thought, bugger it, I can at least feed the ol’ raincoaster blog with it.
