I’m a Lazy Slob
April 19th, 2006
Two things:
- I finally bowed under the pressure and joined MySpace. I’ve been on for two weeks now, and for the most part, I’m okay with it. I hate the layout, and run into error messages all the time, but there are a TON of people on there that just aren’t on Friendster. So that’s cool. However, I have serious issues with the fact that complete strangers keep trying to be friends with me. Are people really so desparate to increase their number of friends that they add people they don’t know? Weird. And what’s with all the fancy backgrounds that make it impossible to read the text? And those lame images people put in the comments sections that have pictures of monkeys swinging around in trees and say things like “You’re BANANAS!”? It’s so freakin’ bizarre.
- In other entertainment news, the BF and I finally got cable. Instead of 22 channels (8 of which were public access, and 3 of which were Spanish), we now have 74! Including Comedy Central! I’m watching a new episode of South Park RIGHT NOW! AND I have TLC, so I can watch What Not To Wear! AND I have MTV, so I can watch My Super Sweet 16! WOOHOO!!!!
Between MySpace and Cable, my last two weeks have seen me sprawled on the couch, stalking people as I watch increasingly awful TV in my pajamas. I’ve also started over-using capital letters and exclamation marks. Sorry ’bout that, people.
Hopefully you will not be doing that all weekend. I will be around!
are you talking about my background? how dare you!
i happen to be quite saavy in the way of html.. so if you want a better layout, ask! i spend many long hours in the office reading and being electronically social.
salud to your blogging abilities. every time i have posted one, i either end up offending someone or with a lurking paranoia that at any moment i may catch a bullet from some cia ghoul’s sniper rifle.
television has made us americans the pathetic lot we have become.
once again, kudos on the blog site here! keep it rollin’!
Erik, I like the way the layout looks - but it’s practically impossible to read the text! It’s not just yours - most of the MySpace skins seem to create a ridiculously hard to read page.
Of course, I’m totally anal when it comes to having easy to read things online. I think THIS page is too hard to read. But I’m too d*mn lazy to change it. And I like the dancing girl.
