I think bloggers are so sexy

I admire her long legs as she sashays suggestively towards me.”Hi,” she says breathlessly.”Hello.””Aren’t you that guy from the Waiter Rant blog?” she asks, beads of water glistening on her ripe full breasts like diamonds.”Why yes – yes I am,” I reply suavely.”I think bloggers are so sexy,” she teases playfully.I’m at a loss for words.I may be Waiter Rant’s biggest fan.

I may be Waiter Rant’s biggest fan.

I’m standing on the shore of a tropical island when a beautiful blonde, in a skimpy white bikini, emerges from the surf like Venus Rising from the sea. I admire her long legs as she sashays suggestively towards me.

“Hi,” she says breathlessly.

“Hello.”

“Aren’t you that guy from the Waiter Rant blog?” she asks, beads of water glistening on her ripe full breasts like diamonds.

“Why yes – yes I am,” I reply suavely.

“I think bloggers are so sexy,” she teases playfully.

I’m at a loss for words.

MTBlogroll

After pointing Buck Daruma to ways to do blogrolls, I decided to test-drive MTBlogroll.

After pointing Buck Daruma to ways to do blogrolls, I decided to test-drive MTBlogroll.

This is a MovableType plugin by Arvind Satyanarayanthat will manage a blogroll locally in your MovableType mySQL database, instead of keeping it on someone else’s web site like BlogRolling.

The advantage is clear; faster, since it’s local, and you don’t depend on an external site to be up. It also have a number of features I like, one of which is that it can import my existing blogrolls. And of course, i have much more control over it.

It was easy to install and easy to configure, though the docs are minimalist at best and the template changes caused me some confusion.

There are a few downsides though — the main one being that it evidently can’t do ‘recently updated’. Now, for a roll of static links, that’s fine. Particularly for things like non-blog links. I don’t care when they’re updated. But for things like my Daily Reads list, I depend on that (so it’s annoying when blogs don’t ping the right sites to make this work).

In short I’d say that this works really well aside from that feature; I’ll be switching my Daily Reads back to blogrolling, but I may put my static non-blog links into my local roll since I don’t often update that.

For sites I host, it’s up and ready and working, all you need is a template hack and to load in your blogroll; mail me and I’ll show you how or do it for you.

JournalCon

I guess I’ll finally have to go to one of these deals…. We’ll see how much trouble we can all get into.

TranceJen just made me promise.

JournalCon is in San Diego this year. I guess I’ll finally have to go to one of these deals.

October 21-23. Save that date. We’ll see how much trouble we can all get into.

Ray? You too, me bucko.

Who doesn’t like panties?

I just have to put in a quick plug (a-hem) for Brett and Hiromi’s Panties Panties Panties…. They also have some absolutely lovely panty fetish pictures.

I just have to put in a quick plug (a-hem) for Brett and Hiromi’s Panties Panties Panties blog. I mean, they understand Tim Powers, fercrisssakes.

[edit – that blog is long gone now — (3/6/2005)]

They also have some absolutely lovely panty fetish pictures. And as some of you know, I do have something of a fetish for panties (Though I must admit, I’ll always choose commando before panties, no matter how cute the panties are).

Anyway, show B&H some panty-fetish love, they’re fine, fine people.

MTLJPost

I just installed a new version of MTLJPost, an MT plugin that automatically posts my MT blog entries on LiveJournal. This way, I can blog once, yet I’m not neglecting my LJ user friends.

Hey, this is cool.

Ray, if you wanna turn this on, let me know, I’ll show you how. It’s super easy.

Fuck Me So Hard It Hurts

NOt so much because I care how many hits I’m getting, though that’s vaguely interesting. But because it’s interesting, educational, and sometimes amusing to see what search terms I get hits from.Spanking Art is a huge one.

So I check my sitemeter all the time. Not so much because I care how many hits I’m getting, though that’s vaguely interesting. But because it’s interesting, educational, and sometimes amusing to see what search terms I get hits from.

Spanking Art is a huge one. Hits on that many times every day. Live Wrong gets me a lot of them too. Erototoxins did for a spell but not so much any more.

I got a couple, a while back, on Spanking Policeman which got me laughing. No idea why that hit me. I get tons from searches on Skull Ring and quite a few from related searches, Crazy Pig and Tony Creed.

I get tons of hits from Tattoo and Kilt searches. I’m staring to get some for Hold Fast.

You know, the stuff I talk about.

But today I got one that simply delighted me.

Fuck Me So Hard It Hurts, the search was on.

Who are you, oh AOL user who found me that way? Did you find what you’re looking for? I can’t tell, since it was an AOL search and I can’t see the results page.

But I must say, there’s nothing anyone can say to me that will delight me as much as that phrase. Well, I can think of a few things, from a few people, mostly involving the word “yes“, but aside from that, Fuck Me So Hard It Hurts is music to my sick, twisted ears.

C’mon. Say it to me again.

Waiter Rant — Tsunami

This guy is such a good writer. The observations about working in food service are spot on and funny, sure, but you could say the same of Cook Rant.

But the cat who writes Waiter Rant is more. He’s got a keen sense of who people are. He’s writing about life; he’s something of a philosopher. More, he’s an incredibly good writer, and I can’t wait til he decides to get a book out.

This entry isn’t about being a waiter. This entry is about fear and change.

My godfather sits in the passenger seat. He taps me on my shoulder.

“You can’t be here,” I say to him, “You’re dead.”

Putting on his old Greek fisherman’s cap he looks at me lovingly with his cool blue eyes.

“Everything changes,” he says.

With a tremendous roar the tsunami arrives in all its fury. Blue green and glistening it towers hundreds of feet high. I can see the shadows of sharks swimming inside. It heads straight for me. I’m going to die.

“And nothing changes,” my godfather whispers.

The wave hits. I cry out. I’m tumbling in darkness.
