the otherwhirled

i seem to get more hits when i don’t post. so, obviously, i felt it prudent to post about this subject so as not to get too many hits.

of course, if i really cared about hits on the inside, i wouldn’t blog. some of my friends mention off-hand how many hundreds of hits they’ve had on some days, and all i can do is chuckle at my consistently-less-than-a-hundred-per-day.

but i still find it funny that i get more hits on a day like today: today being the day after a day on which i didn’t post.

conversely, until i met Mrs. Other, i always managed to attract the weird ones, so it shouldn’t be surprising that i continue to do so.

i am typing to you today from a new computer (about which i should theoretically be happy, but i’m not, because i’m an ungrateful bastard), sitting in an office in a house we are now trying to sell. i detail the gory details of the details here. sorry, after watching the past several primary thingies, i figured some intentional redundancy would be redundantly redundant, so i got all redundant about it. anyway, in a fit of temper this morning, i even compiled a short list of my fine art work that was taken on or from this property. because even though i’m starting to get caught up in Mrs. Other’s excitement about the move and her new job and all that, the very idea of moving again is about as thrilling to me as slowly inserting a corkscrew into my frontal lobe while listening to republican campaign speeches and standing on a fire-ant hill with honey spread all over my genetalia.

on the plus side, however, i got a new computer, i guess.

i am now looking at some of these photographs — especially the bulk of them from off Yahoo! News, and i can’t help but think to myself that holy shit, these bucking fastards seriously need to bump the resolution on the photos they make available for public consumption. gah.

but fairlane, DCup, if you thought Chuck Norris’ hairpiece was intolerable on whatever monitor you’re using, you should see how it looks on a 30″ widescreen. holy crap. actually, in this detail, i have a sneaking suspicion it’s just a bad haircut, but still….he goes out in public. kinda scary.

at any rate, there will be light posting here for a bit. i have more software to get installed, calibrations to run, data to transfer, and, well, a house to sell. which means that i should occasionally have to disappear whenever a realtor has someone to bring over, and we all know that will only happen at the most inconvenient times. i’ll be sure to leave select blogs open on the monitors (five of them) when they do.

at least, so long as they don’t impede any would-be buyers. it’s not exactly like the grand central station of progressive thought out here….
