just minishorts.

Everybody, I would like to you meet Eddie Whee Whee, another poor member of the rat race who messaged me when he saw this horrid photo of me masquerading as the avatar for my MSN Messenger Chat Client.

minishorts: its the haze the haze… the stupid haze.
eddie: anyway, your not really going to post this are you

(AND THEN THE STUPID COMPUTER CRASHED AT THIS POINT, JUST AS I HAD EDITED AND FORMATTED THE CHAT AND WAS ABOUT TO POST IT…. FARK FARK FARK)

Anyway, after a while, I got back on.

eddie: thats all i have

And then he sent me the chat! Eddie Whee Whee sent me the chat! Everyone… please give a hand to Eddie Whee Whee, who will remain, ever faithfully, a worktime banging buddy… (erm… that sounds positively wrong)… but anyway… who doesn't blog, but is funny all the same, and quite the more brainy than yours truly will ever be.

OK. Out. Back to work.

I have a few things that I need to do this week, and I'm blogging them down so that I won't forget.

1) I haven't been researching for good blogs for a while… I had that list of Fabulous Females and Marvellous Males Part Trois waiting to be posted and then somewhere along the way (when I shifted cubicles at the office) I lost the entire post. Hmmm… later folks, some good people to rec., later.

2) I forgot my promise to Lionel (site not available for now). His blog is down. Oh Lionel, try Wordpress already? There's another site called weblogs.us where you just might be able to get free hosting. The catch is this: you might just need to buy your own domain (1)… (2) I didn't read up on the rest so you have to get there to find out more. Or peeps, if you miss Lionel as much as I do, please tell him where he can get a free blogging domain that runs on Movable Type… the picky fella he, the picky fella. Hmmm… well, that mail was Jul 18, and here is part of what Lionel wants to tell you guys

Alas, when it comes to blog migration, I'm dirt poor and will only resort to free hosting, but at the same time I'm incredibly picky. Movabletype support, ample space (for a future podcast project), no host-owned ads. So unless someone offers to host me out of goodwill or something, I'll be up and about again when I can bootstrap myself out of my rut. To be frank I have no experience in buying a domain just yet.

I'm a terrible mail-replier… I'm sorry folks… it's the work, it's the blog, it's the blogathon, it's the boyfriend, it's the mother… GAH… forget it… it's me… but anyway. I MISSED LIONEL, he's like one of those very very rare Malaysian bloggers who can string English words together in a totally stylistic and 'Whoa' way and I miss people like that. OK. Tariq, you're not too bad yourself. So anyway, Lionel's link is official dead for now. Folks.

3) I feel like killing Viewtru for dragging me into a review of a screenplay, something which is absolutely NOT my forte, not that other things are my forte anyway… oh FARK! OK you'll have to wait for a bit there's just too many things on the desk right now (53 scripts to proof-read and I've only completed half of that and the deadline is, gasp gasp gasp, the deadline is a 'was' right now). Oh dear. Now gimme some time, and I'll get to it. Today, I hope.

4) Stupid car's in the workshop. I tagged along with the boyfriend to work and arrived at the office 1/2 an hour ahead of time. The thing about going to the office in the bf's car is I have to arrive earlier, and leave later. Not a very good deal, but what the heck, I get to do more things…

5) Oh, I will STILL be blogging at the BAM site, mind you… we've got plans coming up and the content plan looks set to be QUITE interesting. Like Wow. Things you never expect to do, yeah? BTW, Galvin did some fantastic job heal-brushing away the pimples and bumps on my face… now folks, I never said I had flawless skin and I sorta have a love-hate relationship with make-up. BTW, did you know I did a 'how to put on make-up' Girl Talk series at the BAM site? That is oh-so-not-me. Oh well. AH yeah, you can still pledge. We've got over USD 1.3k right now, but hahaha, you think we can breach 1.5 k by the time the pledging deadline falls (around 6 a.m. Malaysian time, tomorrow)? I'm ever hopeful.

Did I ramble a lot today? Oh I'm sorry. OK. Back to work. Tatas.
