Stuff Only I Care About

After two years and nearly eighty entries, I have decided to stop writing my Stuff Only I Care About posts. And here's where all twelve of my readers yell, "WOO-HOO!"

Yeah, I know everyone hated those posts. Hell, some of you even emailed me and told me you hated them. But I'm stubborn. And truthfully, I liked doing those posts.

So while Stuff Only I Care About is dead, its spirit will live on

I really enjoyed sharing links to other people's sites via the Sunday Morning Hangover section. So if you look over at the far right corner, below the GLORIOUS ads, you'll see a "Stuff I'm Digging" header. That's the new Sunday Morning Hangover. It will be updated every time I find a new post to share. New link appears at the top of the list while the last link on the list will be removed. Got it?

If you look below the Stuff I'm Digging section, you'll see a section entitled "Current Infatuation." It means exactly what the name implies: a site/writer that I'm really into at the moment. Currently, I'm digging The Bloggess. She won me over several weeks ago but her recent post in which she photographed a Sasquatch had me swooning. I love monsters.

The Current Infatuation section will only be updated when I have a new infatuation.

Twitter

Over the weekend, I saw where Mr. Sounds Like Pony was pimping his Twitter account on his site. Fearing I was the last person on the planet without a Twitter account, I signed up. I've been using it to share music videos and sports and other crap, which are also things I wrote about in my Stuff Only I Care About posts (See? I told you its spirit would live on!). I'm also planning on using it to send bon mots to other users (planning is the key word here; first I'll need to find some wit). So far, I haven't twittered much, but I'm planning on using it more. So if you're interested, you can click here to follow me on Twitter.

<UPDATE>Some of you have the wrong idea. I didn't stop writing Stuff Only I Care About because people hated it. If anything, that would make me want to do it forever, because I'm kind of a jerk. I was doing it once a week and when it came time to write the post, I had to think about what I had seen and heard in the past week that I wanted to share with you guys. Sure, I could've written it down, saved it in a Word document, or had it tattooed it on my body like Leonard from Memento, but not only am I a jerk, I'm also lazy. But between the new sidebar and my plans for Twitter, I can post the stuff I usually wrote about in the Stuff Only I Care About section throughout the week. Just trying to make life easier for myself.</UPDATE>

More Live Blogging!

First, I blogged Super Bowl XLII live.

Then, I blogged The Oscars live. Only this one was much better because Motherbumper was along for the ride to provide funny and clever insight (something sorely lacking from the Super Bowl coverage).

In keeping with my tradition of live blogging only the biggest televised events, I am proud to announce that I will be live blogging the final rounds of the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee. It starts at 8:00 PM EDT tomorrow night, May 29th. If you're interested, do stop by!

And great news! Motherbumper will be here as well, so you know it won't suck.

And just for the record, I love the Spelling Bee nerds. I was one of them (only I never made it past the county competition).

Song of the day: Stardog Champion by Mother Love Bone

Special thanks to Natural Momma for reminding me how awesome Mother Love Bone was.
