U Comment, I Follow

Posted in: Internet, blog, thoughts
15 Jan 2008

I’ve noticed, during my blog reading adventures, a little “I Follow” badge on some blogs. I didn’t know what that meant, so I Googled it. (What WAS this world before Google??)

Evidently blog comments have a “no-follow” rule, so that when you leave your site link in a comment area, it doesn’t get picked up by search engines. This is not a nice thing. In the interest of “link love”, I have downloaded the WordPress plug-in, installed it and now when search engine bots visit my blog, they will also pick up your links (should you comment and leave one). The point of the no-follow rule was to help fight comment spam. From everything I’ve read online, it isn’t effective. And since my comments are moderated- not a concern for me in the first place.

If you’d like to join the “movement” and get your own badge, visit this blog. If you want to know more about I Follow, here’s the link to the site I found, that led to my enlightenment.

Today’s Random Discoveries

Posted in: 80's, iTunes, random, thoughts

* I LOVE LifeSavers Wild Berry Sours Gummy candy. So sour, yet so sweet. In the weird words of Rachael Ray: YUMMO.

* Billy Bush, from Access Hollywood, is my new boyfriend. I watched him on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader tonight and now I want to marry him. Except he’s already married. (Sad face.)

* iTunes is going to be the death of me. Soooooooo much musical goodness all packaged up in one little place, on my computer (and now my phone!). The fact that I’ve discovered all of their 80’s compilation albums is not helping. What’s shocking is that I haven’t purchased any Prince!! (Yet.) What have I been THINKING?? I’m so ashamed.

* After having done laundry for the last TWO days… I’ve decided that I own way too many white t-shirts. So if you see me in one every time you see me, it’s not the same one you saw last time.

* In the unlikely event that iTunes does not kill me, I’m fairly certain that Crash Twinsanity (for PS2) will. They really need to make saveable checkpoints closer together. Having to do a whole (not so easy) area over and over and over again is getting on my nerves.

* When I get old and jowly- I am SO hitting up the Lifestyle Lift people. Look at this before and after! Are you KIDDING me?

Why would I want to look like a grandma when I could look like a stripper?? All I know is: I have their number and when it’s time… I’m usin’ it.

That’s it for this fine Thursday. I have a LOT of new music to listen to, so I’m going to go and do that now.

Peace and comfy shoes.

Random Thoughts

09 Jan 2008

I’ve been watching a little TV, surfing around the Internet, reading my friends’ blogs on MySpace and thinking random thoughts and here’s what I came up with for tonight:

• Britney Spears is a train wreck. Her whole family is a train wreck. Lynn Spears should reconsider that book on parenting because she obviously only knows how NOT to go about it. On the bright side: Dr. Phil paid Britney a visit. If anyone can slap her back to the real world… he can. I really hope that works out. I’m sick of her antics ending up in my newspaper.

• The People’s Choice Awards tonight was pathetic! Are you KIDDING me?? No audience. Just Queen Latifah in an ugly black dress and clips of what “the people” have chosen. Oh and flash backs to when the broadcast wasn’t so stupid. I can’t believe they even bothered. It was just SAD. After 10 minutes of sadness, and bewilderment, I moved on.

• My friend, Abby-Rose, wondered, (out loud) on my MySpace page, if perhaps I have PMDD (PMS on steroids). She came to this conclusion after reading my blog about me being a jerk. I told her that if I kill someone, I’ll look into it. Her comment made me cackle to myself. Silly Abby.

• I downloaded several vintage 80’s videos from iTunes last night and have spent a lot of today watching them over and over on my iPhone. George Michael (Monkey), Madonna (Borderline), INXS (What You Need), A-Ha (Take On Me), Duran Duran (The Reflex) and Michael Jackson (Thriller). I love, love, love my iPhone. I want to marry it and have it’s babies.

PerezHilton.com is addictive. I refuse to read tabloids but that site sucks me in. This somewhat perplexes me as I don’t usually care what goes on in the lives of the famous. (Usually, I said.) On a bitter note: I wish he’d stop the flow of Amy Winehouse reports. I’m OVER it. Every photo of her shows white powder caked in her fucking nostrils. She’s a drug addict, she cancels shows because she’s an irresponsible drug addict, she displays erratic behavior in public because she’s a coke freak, her husband is in jail, we get it. Enough already. When she doesn’t act like a zoo… that will be news.

Oops… slipped into a little rant there.

Ok, I am going to bed now.

Peace and comfy shoes.
