25 cents a day, plus expenses

Thursday, November 2, 2006

-After nearly five years of whining blogging, I finally got nominated for one of those pesky awards. Clearly I’ve been blowing the wrong bloggers all this time.

- My inner Encyclopedia Brown has not yet solved the case of The Birds in the Bag. I’ll pick up the trail again after nap time.

- After many failed attempts, I cannot figure out why my sidebar appears incorrectly on Internet Explorer for Windows (at least on version 6). Since no generous geek has stepped forward to help me, I’m willing to fork out a little cash to someone who actually knows what they are doing with the Internets.

- To the two people who asked: I did not get shot last night in the Castro. The rest of you obviously don’t care about my welfare, and that saddens me.

- Last night I sat with the Manly Fireplug in his hot tub. It was cool out, the dogs were sniffing around under the trees, and we brought out glasses of ice water with our towels. The moon was behind the house, and it lit up the clouds moving slowly across the dark sky. Far overhead, a plane flew by with its lights blinking. This was after chicken lasagna from Trader Joe’s. And vanilla gelato.

If it’s any consolation, the sidebar renders okay in IE 7, more or less. Is the float attribute in your stylesheet “none”?

I just heard about the shootings and am glad you didn’t get shot. I was out there several years ago for Halloween and it was a mob. There wasn’t even room enough in the street to step with out stepping on someones feet or getting stepped on. When its that crowded its just not fun at least for me and the bf. We decided never again for Halloween.

Hey, Lola sent me to have a look to see how I can help. Maybe it’s me , but I think I’m getting the same result as Tom.

Cheers,

Nice Encyclopedia Brown reference.

And Trader Joe’s is great.

I was more of a Ramona The Pest fan. But I would still sit in a hot tub with a manly anything.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think the sidebar isn’t appearing correctly on older versions (like 6.0) of IE. I have someone helping me, but am still open to suggestions.

How come I didn’t know you were blowing bloggers when I was single?

Never mind. I may not want to know the answer. In any case, congratulations. Clearly, a Pulitzer is only a matter of time (or a matter of blowing the right people).

I’m seriously freaked out about those birds. What the hell?!?!

But wanted to stop by and say thanks for the suggestion you gave about the anthology. Next time out, I’m begging you earlier. =)
