Checked in at the TARflies Times site to see if the little counter to the next episode has started yet. Nope. Checked in at the TWOP Amazing Race site to see if any spoilers had been posted (sightings are considered spoilers) and ditto – nope. Augh. What’s happening? What’s happening? Are they starting soon?? And since the Tarflies site is run as a group blog, onto the blogroll it goes. Yayyyyy! (tm Kenny) God, I miss this show. Ready, set, Amazing Race already!

My sister has gotten into the act with a few embarassing photos. I’m told that I might need to start a blackmail fund to keep her from sending the most notorious ones. Proof that I am indeed a full-blooded member of the Phaeomelanii: This was when we were living in Albuquerque in the early 60’s. Since I’m wearing the headress, I MUST be watching “Roy Rogers,” although maybe I’m cheering for the Indians. Usually I wore a cowboy hat and rode my palamino pony, “Horsey Honey” in the living room when RR was on. HH was powered by springs, not…

Geodog’s MT Weblog: That nasty IE 6 scrolling bug that shows up in MT So the bug is still bugging, but one big lesson learned is “don’t past div code and brackets into blog posts!!!” Note to self – figure out how to past code in a little quote box.

London Underground Tube Diary – Going Underground’s Blog Right, this site needs to win a Bloggie – I wish I’d seen it before our trip. And note please – it’s written by a woman, not a bloke. She’s evidently chapped by being mistaken for a chap online. Must tell David that his “Mind the Gap” T-shirt might mean something like “Mind the Pinch” in Dutch. Interesting – several of the blogs I stumbled into reading as a side effect of thrashing about helplessly are up for a-wards. Everybody links to the same few top blogs. It’ll be interesting participating in…

Journalings Here’s an old friend from my Highlander fan days – I used to host chats that she attended as “catsnco.” We got re-connected recently and it’s good to know that she’s doing all right after her move. Her “catsnco” link tells her lives story (hint) better than I could – it’s a strange and confusing one, but real. And she’s moved to an area near Eugene, my old college home. I already told her she has to go to Eugene to get Monster Cookies. They’re generally sold in coffeehouses and deli cases. I went looking for a website for…

Hee! Google thinks we’re obsessed with TiVo and plumbing. Oh, wait. Darn. And (tm Kenny) Yayyyyyyyy! the pizza dude just dropped off dinner.

Like everyone else in the blogoverse, I find the statistics of my own page weirdly diverting and entertaining. Also, it’s free blogfodder, so there nyaaaah. And here is my first poem. ::clearing throat:: “Why Moon is Better than Mars” why moon is better than mars: cabinet war room dance. winning an argument for kids… elecia battle guilty verdict. Well, that probably didn’t cause anyone to drop dead, so here’s another one: “signs of frozen pipes toilet” Signs of frozen pipes toilet, frozen pipe to toilet. Frozen pipe stories, frozen pipes in garage picture. Frozen vinyl tube plumbing – what to…

Conventions are dangerous, exciting places. Sometimes you meet someone special, as described by The Redhead. Conventions – specifically, fan or hobby conventions, bring together people with mutual interests (and no, they're not all a bunch of online weirdos with no lives). People who enjoy sharing their love for a hobby or an obsession with others love getting together for a good time – and afterwards, they've got connections that they didn't have before. And this is a good basis for starting something – anything – between people. All this reminds me of how David and I met. It was at…
