Another day, another Blogthing.

This handy little instrument had me pegged as both juicy and mysterious. True that. What's your acronym? Isn't it an acrostic?

And this blog, Dispensing Happiness, is a lot of fun -- click if you'd like to see an example of the recipe cards tinaofmn gave to me today. Now that I have two sets, I'm quite the homemaker. The Happy Sorceress has some good recipes. She is a vegetarian, but the recipes look pretty adjustable. Not that I cook, jeepers! To quote another blog, 'I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and think, "Well, that's not going to happen." '

Falling on my face is still a move forward. I wish I could believe that! A quote from Keisha. Most of the blogs I come across by 'flipping' through blogspot, if they have any content, seem to fall into a couple-few categories: hobbyists, like the Sorceress above, Ranters/ Newsies/ Ruminators (see the range from Mental Fiber to Instapundit), and the personal. The personal subcategories seem to be mainly: Look how great my life is/lifestyle porn/chronicles of cute, precocious, kids and fabulous vacations (they do seem like really nice people, I'm not hating), or "I'm a miserable wreck! Come feast on my misery and terrible poetry."

Also enjoyable:
Slanderous Minneapolis (I don't know, I haven't read it a lot lately, but they did have a good- probably made up - story about that slutty chick from the hot tub commercials doing coke in a bar bathroom, hence the word 'slanderous' in the title. Yes, I know it's more like libel.), also see the post from Aug 9th for help with your next weekend's plans;
Sadvertising- name explains it all (marketing/ad types are kinda weird, also he/she links to Lileks, cool in my book);
British chick who became a stripper only because the mean ol' government wouldn't give her a journalist visa. Sure. Yeah, she's an illegal British journo stripper, crusading for all her new green card & visa-lacking friends, except she got fired from the club when she was profiled in the New York Times. Yep, that profile is where I heard of her. She talks on the blog about writing a book, but I think it would make a good sitcom. Maybe an hour long tragicomedy, Showtime, she gets into a greencard marriage of convenience with some... guy. I don't know. Run with it, people.

Jerry's gone. I kinda got used to him. Maybe I'm ready for a long term commitment, like a houseplant or something, maybe even a real one.
