Okay... My new laptop still hasn't arrived... And, of course, I'm going batty because it's just down the bloody road from my house!
So, I have a bit of advice should any of you find yourselves moving any time soon. Do NOT, under any circumstance, live within spitting distance of UPS. You will just drive yourself crazy. (And yes. In case you are curious, I really am a handful at Christmas time too.)
Anyway, since I am sitting here killing time until I sign for my stuff on Monday sometime between the hours of 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM (Yeah. You'd think they'd narrow it down a little, eh?), I figured I'd start a thread with one thing in mind: Blogs.
Here's what I was thinking:
1.) In the comment thread, I want you to plug a blog and leave a link to that blog.
2.) You can plug only one blog or journal, and it can't be your own if you have one.
3.) Also (and here's the tricky part), it can't be a blog or journal that someone has already previously put in the comment thread. And, I'm talking about the actual blog or journal titles and not the screen names they're under. For example, you can plug one journal from Paul, and, since he's got more than one journal, someone else can post a different journal from Paul if they wish.
In other words, there can be no repeats in the names of the blogs and journals, so you've got to read the comments to see what people have posted, and be "original."
Anyway, the blog I want to plug is Barry's UK Blog, Waffle and Whinge.
I really like reading Barry's writing, and just a handful of sentences into any entry, and it becomes pretty clear that this UK postman has got a great talent for delivering words. He's a nice guy, and I think that whenever anyone sends a postcard or letter to England, they should write "Hi Barry!" on there somewhere.
So, there ya have it. Follow the directions, dig in your favorites folder and bookmarks and leave a link to the blog or journal in the comments. Just remember, no repeats! And, have fun!

Hmm...well.. since you are so big on words.. I really had to search my sidebar to find one I thought YOU would enjoy.. so..here it is: http://journals.aol.com/ravenjuiced/those-eyes-that-the-cherubim-dre/
ReplyDeleteYou may already read it.. but, if not.. I think you might enjoy him. I've just started reading Fred (that's his name) and he does have a way with those words!

I was going to link ya to Fred but it looks like Jackie beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteSo i think im going to tell you about a UK blog from a fella that goes by the name of Brainwhispers.
http://journals.aol.co.uk/brainwhispers/Wordsjustfallout/
The title of his journal is Words Fall Out and that they certainly do! He is a nutter as they would say but he is also very kindhearted. His words deffinately just fall out! You never know what to expect from him from one day to the next but you know one thing is for sure....you will always leave his journal with a smile on your face!

Aww, thanks Dan, Praise indeed, coming, as it does, from such a talented writer.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to point you in the direction of a wonderful journal I found just a couple of months after joining this eleite company. Unfortunately, there hasn't been an entry since March of this year which is a great loss. Nevertheless, if you read some of the previous entries I hope you'll enjoy it as much as me.

Enjoy. B.
I think Sara deserves to get a mention. I was going to say you'd probably get on well with her as she loves chocolate hobnob flapjacks but thinking about it you'd both probably end up fighting over them.
