Ok, vacation’s over. Actually, Lil’ Miss and TheMan are still on leave from their respective duties, but I’m so over sharing the computer. I suggest someone buy me a laptop for a January gift, ok?
I get back online and check my emails. Some dude from the Entrecard site spammed me via pm with an invitation to check out his site. Dumbass that I am, I did. Why do I do these things to myself? I never read spam when it’s not from a site of which I’m a member. Why the hell don’t I follow those same rules when I look in the “inbox” of said site and see pms from people I don’t care for? *sigh* That’s 5 minutes of my life I will never have back. Thanks, dumbass!
The big “thing” was that some people copied code for all the Entrecard users and pasted their ads in a grid and linked to them and blah blah blah. I don’t give a flying monkey’s butt. Apparently it’s a huge faux pas to link to so many people in one post.1Apparently the Almighty Google will frown upon the pasters of said grid as well as the link recipients. Ooooooh. This is important for the SEO crowd, but to me? I don’t flipping care.
You see, I love good blog drama. Anyone that knows me well knows this. The keyword there is good. This crap just annoyed me. The guy doing all the bitching about the linkage2 is the same guy that said Toni Turner only beat what’s-his-name because she got a “boob in the door”. Apparently, he’s also made a crack about homosexuals on a gay blog. I’m terribly shocked. I may just swoon even. Someone link whoring by saying shitty stuff. Who woulda thunk it?
Entrecard People, please don’t spam me. It makes my eyes burn and I really don’t like burning eyeballs.
In other news, the holiday with the fam wasn’t so terrible. The kids had a blast and we stayed out way too late (I’m getting old, dontcha know). Lil’ Miss ate so many cookies she threw up. Now that was slightly comical, only because she did it on the steps and Lil’lady told her she wasn’t supposed to do that there and then we all laughed. Honestly, chunks of cut-outs? Does the girl even chew? At any rate, she was well enough afterward to attack some chocolates so I don’t feel guilty for thinking that was funny. Also, I was severely punished by Karma when I was ill on the 26th. Where was I? Oh, the fam. Yes, no major blow outs, no cussing, no hurt feelings. It was all right for once. Hard to believe, huh?
For my California folks, TheMan and I have discovered wine tasting. We hit up Troutman’s winery a few days ago and today we went to Breitenbach (Amish Country’s finest wines…mwahahaha!!). I have to say it was quite fun. And cheap. We got to pretend we were all sophisticated and I didn’t have to hear any whining about the dollars spent. Woot! Reisling is still my favorite variety and Dandolion wine was the most interesting. I guess it could be kind of like tequila: shitty at first, but after a couple of shots it grows on ya.
How did the rest of you fare while I was away?
Check out Gorilla Sushi, where I first saw the grid- but open it in a new tab while you’re doing something else because that page is slooow loading. [↩]
