So I was ringing someone up at work today and she said to me “Hey, you have a Live Journal, right?”

It took me a little of guard, but I said that I did, but I don’t use it any more, just for commenting and to read friends who have friend’s only journals. She remembered seeing me comment in some other students LJ.

It’s funny when you read someone’s Blog or Journal that you don’t really know, but you actually see them around. I mean, there are plenty of people that I’ve never met who’s stuff I read (that they don’t even know I read), but when you kind of know them…it’s almost weird.

Not weird enough to make me stop, but hey.

I also joked with this girl that even though I don’t use my LJ anymore, I do have a weblog. “Have to have that shameless self-promotion somehow, right?” I joked. That got me thinking the rest of the day why I still have a blog, and what I hope to get out of it.

Don’t know, I realized. I worry sometimes about what I write, if anyone bothers reading, and if they do it because they find something interesting, or just because they know me. I wondered if I should try to write about more “important” and “real” things, instead of football, comic books and television, with the odd rant about who I hate this week (although “the hilton sisters are whores” is fast becoming my most popular search string).

But then I remember that trying to be someone I’m not is kind of pointless. This is who I am, this is what I do.

On with the news…

All Harmony episode of “Angel” this week, and that made be happy, because Harmony is adorable and she’s funny. I hope she gets used more as the season progresses. I wasn’t really too fond of “Smallville,” but hopefully they will get their act together soon. “Line of Fire” was great, as usual, and “24″ is still chugging along (Sherry! Sherry! You know 24 is getting a full head of steam when Sherry shows up. Now, it’s a party…). I don’t talk about the other shows I watch (Simpsons, Justice League [although I think it's in reruns right now], Adult Swim, SNL) but I don’t think they lend themselves to discussion that well. Good shows, watch ‘em.

I made another CD, thought I’d share it, I call it “KickAss”, and it goes something like this…

1. MC Chris - Harry Potter
2. The Offspring - Meaning of Life
3. Limp Bizkit - Eat You Alive
4. U2 - Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix)
5. Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
6. The Clash - Train in Vain
7. The Donnas - Skintight
8. Dan the Automator - Cartoon Capers
9. Einsturzende Neubauten - Feurio (Cafferty-Einheit Mix)
10. The Cramps - Sheena’s in a Goth Gang
11. George Thorogood - Gear Jammer
12. Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
13. Bubba Sparxxx - Back in the Mudd
14. Beastie Boys - No Sleep till Brooklyn
15. Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy
16. Wild Cherry - Play that Funky Music (White Boy) [NOTE: Who did this song? I know it's not James Brown like the MP3 file says, but I thought it was KC & the Sunshine band. Is it really Wild Cherry?]
17. Joan Jett - Don’t give a Damn About my Reputation
18. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady
19. James Brown - Sex Machine
20. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog - I Keed

I realized a couple of days ago my music collection was sorely lacking in the classics, like Stones, James Brown, Beastie Boys, Hendrix, Stevie Ray. So I’m rectifying that.

On a final, serious note, I read an article the other day about Howard Dean’s wife, and how she’s shuns the campaign trail so she can practice medicine. She hasn’t campaigned with him, doesn’t plan too. She, and their children, are Jewish (not that that has anything to do with not campaigning, it just goes on the list of things I didn’t know). They don’t even own a TV. Interesting, although it made me think that if he gets the nomination the other side will start trying to use that as a weapon (y’know, because she’s not a Barbie Doll, WASPie homemaker). That, and I can imagine SNL having a good time with it as well. Interesting.

Work is work. Not as bad as some other past book rushes, but I get paid either way. I’m going to cut down on my hours at Dark Star so I can have more time for me and to write. Writing and editing has been going well. I’m kicking out what will be a 12-page comic script that I could be persuaded to post up here sometime. I’m doing a little bit of editing too, but I think I’m saving that for the weekends (yeah, that’s the ticket…the weekends).

A hodgepodge of information, I remain…
