Things I Do When I'm Not Blogging



So it's been a week now since I cut back on the blogging. Doing 14 posts a week across four blogs was getting to be a bit much. I was virtually eating and sleeping blogging.

My life has changed already. Yep. Here's some of the things I've been doing instead of blogging.

1. listening to more music

2. reading more books

3. visiting my brother, Whitey, in *spits* Toronto, or as Whitey likes to call it COTU (Centre Of The Universe)

4. shaving regularly

5. showering

6. dressing

7. eating

8. watching football without a computer in my lap

9. reading SPAM mail (boy, am I rich!)

10. sleeping


Not a bad start.

Showering? I wish you'd started that last week.

Ha! I'm sure the wifey-poo appreciates the showering.

I know I do!

It smells much fresher in here these days!

Jackie: It's an addiction. I'm glad I held my own little intervention.

Whitey: Me smell? I thought that was you.

Quirks: Yep, and I'm changing my underwear and socks every day now, too.

I love that comic. So true!
And I thought we, out here in Vancouver, were the only ones who sarcastically referred to TO as the the COTU. - G

Georgina: You guys from the Left Coast should talk! ;)

Oh, and that's the difference between my brother and the rest of us. As he lives there, he was being serious.

I am not sure I agree with your priorities. Bathing and dressing? Meh!

What? They still make books? Oh, yeah... there was that book that we both read. I was getting pretty addicted there for a while myself. Although I wasn't doing as many posts as you, I was easily spending 8 hours every Saturday reading blogs, commenting and writing my posts for the week. (Other days I only put in about 4-5 hours.) I think I'm striking a better balance these days. I've cut back a lot on the number of blogs I read religiously, but you remain one of my "must reads".

Boom Boom: Gee, I thought I was bad with the time I put into writing and reading blogs. ;) Aw, I appreciate being a must read.

You are on the Road to, well, SOMETHING with your newly acquired free time.

Well done, you!

Those are all very acceptable changes. (Reading xkcd is also very acceptable.) It's when you start making the bed, cutting your hair or making new friends in real life that you have to be careful. If any of those things happen, you should start blogging more again.

Kelly: Yeah if I spend much more money on books and CDs I'll soon be upping my blogging intake. At least it's a free activity.

Ziva: Shit, I make the bed every day. It kills a little time, eh. I'm a child of the 60s so I go quite a while between haircuts. It may take some time to make new friends. After all my past blogging activities I seem to lack certain social skills. So hopefully 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

You mean you have to stop blogging to read? I do both!! But not much else.... Well, I work too during the day, but when I am at home, I'm either reading or on the blogs or Net.

But your life does sound better now!

Hmmm... I like the way this not blogging thing is working out for you. I may have to give it a try. That showering thing sounds intriguing.

So there is a life out there? You'll have more to blog about.

Anji: Damn. It's such a vicious circle isn't it?

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

I Am Charlie, I'm A Bore

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrel...you know the list, it goes on and on. The list of Hollywood hick-ups who not content to meltdown behind closed doors have to drag each and every detail out into the light of day and share it with all of us. Well, add Charlie Sheen to that luckless and lascivious list of losers. In the past few days he's been on every major media soapbox complaining abut how he's been treated and how he's misunderstood. Last night he spent an hour on ABC's 20/20 "in his own words". Charlie, you should have stuck to the script. "I have a highly evolved brain". You know I never did like that song by Helen Reddy in the 70s "I Am Woman". But I have to say the melody really leant itself well to a parody of Hollywood's latest flame-out, Charlie Sheen. Although I never thought I'd hear myself say this, my sincerest apologies to Helen Reddy. And now if you're ready (a little play on wor...
