Learning about Blogs, Planets, Hillary Clinton, and the New Pornographers!

Hi anybody!

Today on the blog we will learn about how to make a successful blog, using rules I learned by thinking about them. So, first:

A successful blog is updated regularly, even if it's not much of an update.

That's what they say about blogs.

This is my very first blog EVER!, and man I hope somebody comes to read it, even if it's just Jim. What does that mean, Stephen? Well, it means we have to update it regularly! Let us decide upon a goal of thrice a week, (ooh!, and then let us go to our 43 things and add "update blog thrice a week" as goal number 14!), and do it.

What else should a successful blog have?

Links! In every good blog every other word is a link to something else.

But what is there to link to?

Well, we did one link already, to 43 Things. Let's talk about 43 Things a bit. It is a neat site where you list yourself goals and the internet helps you accomplish them. My goals include to quit smoking, get a cat, save money, and suck a dick. (No, I haven't. If I told you I had I was bullshitting. I am sometimes a bullshitter.) I have already done one of these: I will soon have a cat. Also, I have only tried to smoke once since December 20th and I didn't like it.

So that's 43 Things.

Let's LINK to other stuff!


Today on Alternet there is an okay article about Hillary Clinton and gender. Here is the link. I was pleased to see someone writing about this. Last night, as with the Iowa caucus, I watched Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews reporting on the primary on the newly left-wing MSNBC. And you know what? Chris Matthews is the most annoying fucking idiot ever. Also, everything that every person said on the whole show about gender and womanhood was the most obnoxious fucking thing ever.

"Do you think people are having SYMPATHY for her cause she's a WOMAN!!????!!!????"

"She almost CRIED!!!!1!! That's cause she has a VAGINA!!!!!!!! Do you think people are SYMPATHETIC WITH HER!!!11!"

"Tell ya what. It's WAITTRESSES voting for her cause they're WOMEN like SHE is and they have sympathy with their VAGINAS!!!!"

And so on, until I wanted to stab Chris Matthews in the vagina.


ALSO, last night I went to sleep watching a show about planets. So today I read some articles about planets outside the solar system. Read about some neat extrasolar planets here here here here and here!


AND FINALLY, there is a new New Pornographers album out. I listened to it once a few weeks ago and I didn't like it one bit. But then yesterday I got it and now I'm listening to it again right now. And now I've decided IT'S REALLY GOOD!!!! maybe I like it better than Twin Cinema even.

That concludes my review of the New Pornographers album, "Challengers." Join us in 1 to 4 days, when I will link to news sites, say the word "fuck" a bunch, and review other things that appeared between 2 and 7 months ago. Bye for now!
