Hey, look! Snow. What the hell, it snowed in Pittsburgh today. Woodstock, NY.
Several months ago, I submitted my blog to The Weblog Review. I did this in a cheap ploy to drive up traffic, I’ll admit it. I crave comments, kiddos. I like giving you all a voyeuristic glimpse into my life, and then letting you comment about it. It’s like a twisted, information superhighway kind of Dear Abby. I write the letter, you all give the advice, so to speak. We are symbiotic, baybee.
But I digress. When I submitted my site, months ago, it seemed as if they would never get to me. There are 40 review slots, and blogs are reviewed as people have time to do so. And despite how I repeatedly get shot in the foot with this kind of procrastination thinking (most of my college career comes to mind here), I figured I would have plenty of time to get the blog in order. And besides, I had a whole bunch of episodes of The Apprentice to catch up with on TiVo.
Today, I see that I’m number six on the list to be reviewed. Six! Do you know how fast they could get through six blogs? Friday I was number eight, so they knocked off two over the weekend. Reviewing could be imminent!
And so I look around my blog and see some crap that could be changed. My sidebar, for instance, has somehow gotten out of control and “grown like Topsy” as the saying goes. Do I still need a Weather Wench? My blogroll is like a freakin’ three foot scroll. Doesn’t Blogrolling have a better way to arrange you guys? Maybe I should do a dropdown menu for my archives. That would involve playing with the code to make it match the rest of the site. I should definitely figure out how to do a trackback to each post. Been meaning to for a while, just didn’t get around to it. The ch-ch-changes, they are a comin’.
So that’s what I’ll be doing tonight, my night off from rehearsal. After a quick trip to the laundromat to wash the couch slipcover. The doctor put the Piss Crusader on steroids on Friday, and steroids make you pee, don’t ya know. But we were prepared for this; underneath the slipcover was a vinyl mattress cover and two waterproof crib pads. Yes. My couch has a condom. But it was worth it. All I have to do is wash the damn slipcover, instead of soaking the couch in Nature’s Miracle. That, my friends, is priceless.
And yes, said Piss Crusader is doing better. No more sneezing or wheezing. But I talked with Mom this morning, and we’ve decided that his steroid dosage should be cut back a bit. A full dropper, twice a day, seemed a little excessive even before the couch got christened this morning. Now it just seems like I’m tempting Fate. Piss Crusader will be happier, too. Little sucker bit me this morning while he was trying to get away from the dose of steroids. Jose Canseco he ain’t.
