the rules


Walking with G-man in the park by our house today I came across this park rules sign. Heathens like this irritate me to no end. Why is this necessary? Destructive little bastards.

Look at that sloppy craftsmanship: Rember? Gronud? A little pecker in the corner? At least they encourage us to have fun.

delapitated

That's the way I feel about the look of this blog. Left behind and forgotten about. My sidebar is nowhere near a reflection of what I actually read—thanks to Google Reader. I'm still reading Shades, Nobody, and Dutchy but you wouldn't know it if you clicked on their links. They would just send you to an outdated URL. It's all current in the Reader so why bother maintaining something I don't use. I haven't changed the look of the blog since April of '06. It's getting stagnant. I blame the Blogger Dashboard & Firefox for that. I just click on the bookmark and I'm there—no need to look actually access my little home on the internet.

Things are going to change around here. [I originally just wrote "gonna" instead of "going to". I was compelled to make it proper English. I'm such a dork.] Anyway, be on the lookout for a real blogroll, a new masthead, and perhaps a new avatar. Oh...and comments. I must get back into the habit of commenting. That was always one of my favorite parts about blogging. The interaction.

re-redundant

I really dislike the use of the word irregardless. Without regard. Regardless. Why the addition of the "ir"? Stop the madness people.

The family that blogs together...procrastinates together. Go check out what my other half has to say at his new spot on the web. Leave him a comment and let him know you've stopped by.
