Time for something new…
A few new things actually. First, this site is in desperate need of a new look. I’m done with this “theme,” and I’m done with Movable Type. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been great, but about a month ago I had the opportunity to set a blog up for a local business and I set him up with a WordPress blog. Wow. I was sold.
So today, I stopped by the Meme Machine Escappe’s blog, and learned that Lya had a new look too (looks great by the way). She used WP, and it got me all geared up for a change. Hopefully it’ll be ready soon.
I think that Lya and I have a bit in common lately. As you’ve read here in the recent past, I’m quite sick of the politics, and of religion. I’ve needed a break, and I’m enjoying it. :-) So following Lya’s lead, here are a few of my guilty pleasures.
1. General Hospital. I’ve been watching this show for as long as I can remember. Now, I don’t watch it every day, but I do have it recorded every day. Since having kids, it’s really taken a back burner, but I still sit down and watch a few episodes a couple days a week.
2. Chick magazines. Like Cosmo, or Red Book, or even Good Housekeeping. I only get to read them in the doctors office, but I love flipping through them.
3. Diet Coke. Ok, this may be more of an addiction than a guilty pleasure, but I love it. Good stuff right there.
Well, that’s about all I can come up with, other than the typical ones like cheesecake and ice cream. :-)
Your turn!

How can you be tired of politics? It’s such a great time to be a progressive –
Oh, wait. Never mind.

Diet Coke is evil! I think that’s in the bible somewhere….in the back LOL.
Yeah, there are better blogging setups out there, but blogpsot is democratic and free and run by google who doesn’t report us to the NSA — gotta love that :)

Thanks! it’s good to know people followed the new link. ;)
Google may not report to NSa but it did cave to Chinese censors. It chose to block certain things through its search engine - dangerous words like “freedom” and “democracy” - because a chinese search engine was starting to make more money.
Not very impressed with Google’s business ethics right now either.
But, it’s not as bad as Yahoo! that helped the Chinese gov’t arrest a reporter whose big crime was sending an e-mail containing “state secrets” which, in this case was something about the anniversary of the Tienaman Sqaure Massacre.
He got ten years. Yahoo! gave him up by giving the Chinese gov’t an ISP #.
If Google is willing to cave to Chinese censorship, why would they not also start helping to jail innocent reporters?

Lya, very good points about Google. I’ve really liked Google, other than the whole situation with the Chinese. I’m just waiting for more crap to come out about them doing something unethical.
As far as I’m concerned, there isn’t one large company out there without some skeletons in their closets.
