music: swinger’s soundtrack. would make me want to get up and dance, if only i knew how. alcohol is a great tutor but that’s more a party-at-skool thing than an at-home-at-midnite-wearing-pajamas-w/-a-little-black-bow thing. i have to be content to just type in sync w/ the beat.
oh man i’m going to miss blogging over the next week. i feel like i’ve spent half my waking hours online since i stopped working for martha. it’s addictive: creating, maintaining, promoting, searching, reading, commenting. *phew* but it’s rewarding. i always wanted a virtual community. a few years ago, i tried to get into the message boards at ew.com. it didn’t work so well b/c all they wanted to talk about over there was how hot leonardo dicaprio was. these were 40-ish housewives and i just couldn’t compete.
becca will remember this: i met a guy on the boards who i got really excited about. well, “met” is an exaggeration: researched and exchanged a few comments w/ would be more accurate. still we seemed so similar. that was a warning. i should have known that after that, it was only a matter of time til i actually got into a significant entanglement w/ an internet boy. remind me to tell that story at some point … (or hey, michael, if you’re reading this, feel free to tell the story from yr p.o.v.) here’s a taste. there’s much more to it than that.
anyway, for the loyal 5 of you for whom the loss of notebook for a week is tragedy just short of bush-presidency proportions, here is a list of links to occupy you in the interim. these are sites i’ve come across recently that i found interesting, engaging, entertaining, or worthy of a glance:
of course there are also all the links to the left.
so if i don’t get to talk to all of y’all while i’m in n. carolina, enjoy yr week. feel free to sign the book, email, comment. let me know i’m missed.
