Hello there everybody, and welcome to My Blog 2.0! After two years of the old design, my brother Steve installed Moveable Type on his server, which gives us this nice new font, a "search" function on the left, and yes - all you readers with pissed-off, itchy fingers - a "comments" button so you can tell me how full of shit I am without having to go through the bother of actually emailing me!
Yes, we here at xtcian.com™ are always looking for new ways to make your experience on the Web a sarcastic, over-generalizing and angry one, and we hope the new design brings you closer to that happy state!
Actually, I'm reminded of the blogs I've written where I was so desperate for commentary - if I get supremely lazy, maybe I'll post some older ones that cry out for your involvement. Of course, there are other entries that have sucked the lifeblood out of me, and I have no wish to revisit those days. And then there's my wedding blog which made me sick at the thought of having to defend myself against one more turd over at the message boards.
Hm. Maybe having a "comments" button isn't such a good idea. Maybe everything was just fine when I wrote inside a vacuum, nothing but the slow hum of cars on Berkeley Street offering repudiation to my bon mots. Emily Dickinson did just fine without a "comments" button, in fact, she did just fine without any other humans at all.
Ah well, I have always liked to see y'all lap the miles and lick the valleys up, and if you should be so kind to share your thoughts in the meantime, I shall eschew a tighter breathing and probably gat no zero at the bone.
Would it kill ya if the first comment wasn't a festival of crappery upon your soul? Have fun in PEI. Go to Carrs at Stanley Bridge for the best whosesale raw oysters you'll ever have. Have a cup of coffee at South Rustico store Saturday morning and listen to them.
Boooooy, are you ever askin' for troublllllle....
(not from me, mind you. I'm a fan.)
who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men (and women for that matter)? I guess we're going to find out now. Let the games begin... (and drive safely for God's sake!)
Heh, you'll find that the ones you slave over often are never replied to. I don't know if that means you've done your job so well that you've struck people dumb, or if they all lost interest before the end and went to http://www.bangbus.com.
Hi, Ian. I'm psyched about the comment function, although I can imagine why you'd be less so. There's an old post of yours on "Harry Potter" that I had a thought on that I always meant to tell you about and always forgot. Perhaps I'll use that search funtion and find it now...
More rock, less talk. There is some Japanese theory that age 33 is the most difficult year of your adult life.Of course they also believe blood type governs personality.
Hey, how come you didn't mention me? Remember when we met and had all that fun? You took a picture, surely you remember...
Just for the record, that's not my brother Luke. It's his stalker, played by Ian's brother Sean.
That's funny, Ian. You're reminding me of my own traumatizing and deeply embarrassing personal experience. Back when I was.... Um, hey, could you other people turn away for a moment? I'm telling something to Ian. So like... Hey! You're peeking! That's it, forget it. I'm never reading this fricking blog again.
Hey hon,
La cuisine est presque terminee - so you know what that means!!! Bisous a vous deux.
Wow, both the Wilson brothers! How cool is that? What's weird, is that they both SOUND like my brother Sean. That's... hey, wait a minute...
Kendall, I don't know what that means. Something exciting?
Comments rocque.

ZEPPELIN RULES!
I think he means 'the kitchen is almost closed.' but he used terminee' which babelfish doesn't think is Français approprié. Terminee' would be something like 'terminated' or 'finished.'
Maybe he meant something like: la cuisine est presque terminée avec le préjudice extrême.
Babelfish sure makes one feel like you're a linguist. It's a false feeling though. Whenever I send something from babelfish to actual french speaker, they always come back with the french equivalent to "whatchu talkin bout willis?"
Babelfish does surprisingly well with Rilke and Rimbaud, though, because their poetry is so rooted in concrete language
Babelfish is wondrous. It can create poetry out of a recipe for meatloaf, and make meatloaf out of poetry.
You can go back and forth from, say, Spanish to English to French to Italian and back to English, and the result is instant James Joyce.
No, I knew what she meant literally, but I'm talking about metaphorically.
I wasn't going to comment as this was written a while ago, but as I have just read it a second time, I thought I say thank you for this great article.
What are the spots on black-and-white cows? Holstaines
Very please so far, seems made better then some of the cheaper bags I've had in the past... Even though the dimensions were given it still is a little smaller then I was thinking. Definitely only room for a one pair of shoes and one change of clothes. Lots of extra pockets on the outside too.
It goes without saying I will tell all my friends about it, extremely innovative. Thank you.
Sehr nützlich Pfosten kann ich Ihre Erlaubnis haben zusammenfassen Sie dieses auf meinem Blog? Danke
