Come Together

I wanted to write about how the coconut got stuck in my tonsil. And I will, but today seems to warrant a bit of randomness. Not that I ever need an excuse for being random. Really, what I need is a better filter to avoid randomness in the future. But I digress–unsurprising really.

So, I’ll start with last night, when I attended a blogger meet-up. Nilsa sent me an evite a few weeks ago to an event a b lock from my house. How could I not go? There I met up with six other blogger ladies (including Nilsa) and D. That female-to-D ration didn’t go unnoted. Anyway, we talked, we drank, we ate, we got to know each other. It was interesting and refreshing to talk to people about blogging. Cause sometimes, non-bloggers don’t necessarily get it.

It was pretty interesting to see blogger in the 3-D world. And to talk about things like why we chose WordPress over Blogger. Or, who keeps the blog anonymous, why we use nicknames or what our friends and/or family think of the blogs. So, it was a good time and now, well I have more blogs to read. Which brings me to another point of randomness…

I’m slow on the blogger uptake. Despite the fact that I have been blogger for more than three years–sidenote: holy shit, seriously?–I only recently signed up for bloglines. Until then I would actually sit there and scroll through my sidebar and comments to visit blogs, and only a quarter of them had new posts. Which is fine; it’s not like I post on a regular basis. But damn was that tedious. So if you’ve noticed me commenting a bit more lately, you can thank bloglines for that. And the fact that I finally got the idea behind it.

I finally went to the doctor because I really felt like my cold should not stick around for 9 days. Plus Best Friend had strep and a sinus infection and living in the same apartment means maybe I did too. I do not have either of those things. I do have a Z Pak now. Which I am taking, but I still don’t feel 100%.

I’m off on Monday, but I have a ton of work to do this weekend. Not exactly what I would have wanted, but I would much rather slog through research curled up on my comfy couch, or at a Starbucks on my own time. Given my extra time, I am attempting to make soup tomorrow. As a novice cook, I would like to ask you all to wish me luck.

Have to run now, as Bluebird and I are going to see Juno. Yes, once again I’m a little slow. But Bluebird agreed to see it again, and I’m quite looking forward to it.
