Ch-ch-ch-changes for Teh Blog

1) Summertime has come into my life. The school year has ended, and I'm a free women -- until the 22nd, when I start up an intense French 101 course at my local community college. That aside, I've come to realize that, with my days being so freed up without the burden of a regular school schedule, I should probably get more on top of doing regular blog posts (And there was much rejoicing . . . Yay! Yay!). I won't promise anything, because that's never worked in the past (oops -- *wrist slap*), but I'm earnestly going to try to update twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays around 3 am GMT.

2) I run short on ideas. That hampers my ability to produce blogs that will satisfy my perfectionism and amuse/provoke thoughtfulness in you. That being said: PLEASE TELL ME TOPICS YOU'D LIKE ME TO WRITE ABOUT. Please, please, please make a comment with any and all ideas you have for a post, either with your Blogger account or anonymously. This will make it easier for me to turn out fast and quality work (you might be surprised with the amount of time it takes to formulate and shape an idea), as well as providing an opportunity for you to get what you want out of this blog.

With that, I sign off. I love my readers, all one and a half of you!

Bring Out the Hickory Stick

Oh my gosh, I feel horrible. I cannot express to you, dear readers, how very sorry I am that I have failed you with my sporadic updating. I'll really, truly try to make this more regular.

I know I said that I would move back to political topics now, but suddenly I'm having second thoughts. I think (and give me your opinion on this) that it would be better if I continued to make this a humor blog with random political posts thrown in at random. If you'd like to hear more political posts, though, I suppose I could work them in. I've just reached a point personally where I no longer want to dwell on and whine over problems, but rather take an active approach in solving them. Not to say, by any means, that the two are mutually exclusive, but I feel (perhaps arrogantly) that I'm simply enabling what I perceive as the conservative do-nothing sickness by writing political satire.

Anyway, I've rambled enough. Give me your thoughts on where you'd like this blog to go, and have a very happy Sunday.

Oh, who's da wittle kitty? You are! You are! Ooo, you're just adorable, yes you are!

My Mommy isn't a Technologically Inept Old Person!

My madre has a blog! I'm so proud of her! :D Now, if only I could coerce the rest of my family into making one . . .

You should check it out, it's some serious lol-worthy stuff:

In honor of her and her newfound interweb awesomeness, I will do some posts in her style to encourage you to visit her blog. (What do you mean I'm out of ideas and plagiarizing family members under the guise of promotion? That's a cruel thing to say to anyone.)

"You really didn't think I'd make it that easy, did you?"

If anyone gets the reference of this post's title, I will give you virtual cookies until the day I die, because you are an amazing individual. There is a real reason I put the quote in though -- I'm starting something new. Something exciting, fantabulous, wonderful, and shiny.

On the edge of your seats yet? You should be.

I'm putting a quote from one of my favorite movies in every post from now on! If you get the quote, the movie, and the character who said it, I will give you . . . um, something phenomenal. We can work that out later. So keep an I eye for lines that look copyrighted.

This is short -- just a little update, really: I'm not done ranting about politics yet (le gasp).

I know, pretty inconceivable idea, but true nonetheless. I just wanted to take a break from it before continuing so I wouldn't post something I regret, or just do another mindless rant without any substance. I'll give you a political post tomorrow chock full of panache and sarcasm. (You lucky, lucky little lemon drops.)

This ties into my next point: rants. Yes, of course I rant. Blogs are made for ranting. If you don't like this style of bloggery, then please, please, please don't force yourself to read! I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or bored. It's just a form of catharsis for me so I don't wind up stabbing the kid next to me in math class with a pencil because of all my pent-up anger and frustration.

Thatisall.
