FINALLY!

Since moving from Seattle nearly 10 years ago, I've been so so sad that I came to a place that was devoid of one of my favorite places. I've been waiting impatiently ever since. And now...on November 9th....

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

comments, spam, annoyance

I've adjusted the weight on my comments to hopefully better recognize previous commenters and posts without URLs. I was having problems where instead of notifiying me to approve a comment it would automatically get junked. Hopefully I've fixed that a little bit.

The comment spam is really crazy--I probably get 30-40 a day so I really have to have some sort of filter. But I hate that it limits social interaction with people I really want to hear from. But hopefully the new weights will help...I'll monitor to be sure.

suddenly I'm five years old

and sitting with my father on the hood of his cadillac, watching with wide eyes at the drive-in. I was young, but it was absolutely amazing.

Ahhh...thanks for the memories...

so what's the deal?

No one has been commenting in ages. Am I boring? Are my comments broken? Do you hate me?

Hmmm.

take me seriously!

My latest endeavor is a blog about things a bit different than that I would normally post here. I realized that while this blog is fun and a great place for me to interact, rant, share and connect on a casual level with friends and interested people, it's not the best forum for my professional ideas. As a marketer, my #1 product is really myself and as a result, I needed a place to be able to better showcase my talents and my thought leadership.

Sooo that said, help me spread the word about Creator of Circumstance!!

Crystal King!

And so, I have found more pictures of the Japanese band who shares my glorious moniker.

Oh my, are they hot or what? Apparently they were a big 70s/early 80s Japanese "folk" band. Whatever THAT means...

thought for the day

The quote of the day in my Google News portal cracked me up:

If you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me.
- Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Although that is, admittedly, one of my biggest weaknesses. I am always striving to stop gossiping...sigh.
