MySpace.com

I seem to know a lot of people who have spots on MySpace.com. I'm mystified. I know the site is for "networking" but what kind? So far it looks like a meatmarket. I don't doubt that there are some people who are on it because it is cool right now. But it still looks like a hunting ground for a lay. A lot of lays. A great multitude of lays. And yet, it seems every one has a bit of real estate there.

I happen to love my real estate on Blogger. I think it is better, more intellectual. Yes, that makes me sound like an elitist snob. I'm a huge snob about certain things. I'm not an elitist, though. Elite people make me distinctly uncomfortable. I just like to write. MySpace seems to be less about that than just putting up pictures and not really saying anything. I prefer people with something to say.

I have a few blogs that I keep up with:

Cogitatione aliquid percipere - he is in Norway but has not posted in over one year. I miss his posts.

HELLO CHARLES - I can no longer read it, now I get a message: "It doesn't look like you have been invited to read this blog. If you think this is a mistake, you might want to contact the blog author and request an invitation." Apparently s/he doesn't care for my blogging. I don't remember what comment I left, but apparently the author did not like it. Shrug. This is where communication is a good thing but doesn't happen.

Mary says..... STICK AROUND, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. This is a lot of fun to read and we have begun e-mailing one another. I see a satisfying friendship in this. She has a unique way of looking at the world.

The Wonderful World of Nothing Worthwhile - This is a lot of fun and totally worthwhile. I enjoy everything he posts. Stuff about work, home, his twins (which just shy of 5 years old must really make for an endless supply of material) and life in general.

Burnett's Urban Etiquette - A writer! I don't mean oh, wow, look; someone with a talent for writing; I mean "this-is-what-he-does-for-a-living" writer. And as if he isn't doing this for a living, he does it for fun as well. I thoroughly enjoy seeing things through his eyes. He's a very perspiscatious person; he sees a lot of interesting things. And he views them in an interesting way, as well. His wife is pregnant. I hope he is able to continue to write on his blog, but I suspect once the Little B comes along, his time will be very limited, at least for a little while.

Cynical_Bastard - not my usual kind of blog, since he is mostly about sports. But he does write about other things, so all is not lost. I look for the non-sports things, and find him amusing.

Other than that, I have not gotten very attached to many other blogs. I found most of these through Mary Says... - she has not been blogging long but she has found other ones that I have found pleasant. I am sure that there are a lot more. It's just a matter of finding them.

For now, I am wondering how to get more people to visit my blog! (And falling asleep...)

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
