never mind what you see below. as much as I want to go, and as nice it would be to win this, I’m not the one who deserves to win. Baggage is. 

Check out her blog, and if you agree with me, you can nominate her here.

I’m so impressed with myself

(and yeah, I know that I need to get over myself . . . )

but anyway, I had to share this here, as I just left this as a comment on a friend’s blog, and I’m all pleased with myself and my wit, LOL.

The privileged few will be able to identify whose work I am plagiarizing here . . .

Blogging
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.

I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I’ve a call.

delinquent blogger announces new six-word autobiography

okay. so the second job is kicking my butt right now. hoping to catch up this weekend. (I mentioned to someone that I was going to go home and blog, and the person said, “you need to get a life!” to which I replied, “Blogging IS my life!” not exactly, but . . . )

Anyway, I was taking a leisurely stroll down memory lane (yeah . . . I’m so afraid that Facebook is on the verge of jumping the shark, because it seems like everybody and their grandmother is joining now) and took a wrong turn into a dark alley of ugly memories.

okay. now that I’m finished mutilating THAT analogy . . . ;-)

anyway, as a result of this experience, I’ve come up with a new six-word autobiography that I think is one I can live with and claim as the “final” version. (at least for now?!)

(and no, it’s not “Actually, Ramen noodles taste pretty good!” although I’ll admit I was tempted!)

anyway, here it is.

It hurt. Still does. I’ve survived.

R.I.P. Firefox

Just to prove that I absolutely DO need a new computer . . . my Firefox stopped working randomly. AND my WordPress STARTED working again . . . so I’m a wimp, and I’m back to IE.

The only sucky thing is . . . because I deleted Firefox from my computer (it wasn’t working, right? so I figured I might as well), all of the feeds I moved to that browser (and subsequently deleted from IE) are now gone.

I’m such a dork.

But maybe this is a good thing . . . maybe it’s time to do some virtual “spring cleaning” and weed out my feeds one more time . . . My absolute favorites will be ones that I’ll continue to seek out, and maybe I can get rid of some of the excess. maybe . . . (more…)

I feel better now . . .

(yeah . . . better than I’ll feel at 7am when I’m trying to wake up for work!!!)

So I did some more digging, on the advice of a wise friend, and as it turns out, I did find a plug-in that I like well enough to use with Firefox . . . even if it does make me think about going to the bathroom every time I look at the name of it!

I’ve gotten about 40 or 50 of my RSS feeds onto the page, and although I don’t care so much for the order they’re in, I like the way it’s set up, and in some minor ways, it’s almost easier than my previous set-up.

so I feel better now . . . relieved, as if all is now right with the world. hmm. is that a sign of blogaholism?!

In other news . . . I attended an AMAZING discussion/lecture this afternoon . . . and the speaker really blew away some of my paradigms–not at all about race, actually, but about writing, and blogging, and whether the two really are the same thing . . . so I’ll have more to say about that soon, but needless to say, my tenth annual midlife crisis is rearing its head again . . .

however, I will be having an UNEMPLOYED crisis if I don’t go to sleep RIGHT NOW, so more later.
