More boreblogging tomorrow, I promise. In the meantime, I leave you with these new blog-related terms that I thought of on the way home from work today:
Blogtastic (that one I may have seen somewhere).
Blogopoly -- it was Blogspot, but now everyone's opening up their own mom 'n' pop blogs with the help of software such as MT. Ah, capitalism!
Bloor -- a boorish blog. (No links -- think of your own examples.)
Bloos -- what I get when I can't blog.
Blooger -- a mistake on a blog; or, perhaps, a pointless blog post.
Blahg -- a boring and/or depressing blog.
Blogasm! -- an especially excited blog post; an overwrought blog post; a blog post that rises to a shrieking climax then collapses in exhaustion. Or: what a blogger experiences when they move off of Blogspot and onto their own server, and finally get the blogging software (not Blogger) working. Heh heh -- I said "rises."

So I got bored today and had a breeze through weblogs.com, which is how I came across yours :) Just thought I'd leave a comment - I really like the site design, and I had a peek at your art gallery and writings too. Nice stuff (don't you just hate those two words, they're so, I don't know, generic. "Nice", and "stuff"...anyway).
Well, there wasn't much point to this comment, except to keep up the good work (especially the writing - I liked Perfect Strangers) :)

"Was it good for you, too?"
Posted by: *** Dave at April 7, 2003 at 10:18 PMThanks for the compliments, all! And you have a pretty nice website too, rAchel -- in fact, it looks a lot better than mine does! I am still redesigning. In another life I was an interior decorator from hell...
Thanks for the compliment on the story too. I don't usually write that type of fiction -- fantasy is my game, but I took Creative Writing last year and this was my project. I got an A. I also think I might write another story featuring this character.
