Added a whole pile o' people to Open Pages yesterday, a thoroughly annoying experience as per usual.

The problem is, as with all things, the stupid people. I don't ask much to let you in the ring, just that there be seven entries (astonishing how many people lose interest before achieving that number), that there should be at least monthly updates, that the ring fragment doesn't trap people in your frames or spawn a new browser (hideously rude, I feel), and that said ring fragment is on the linked page, which is either the journal itself or one click away (exceptions on the number of clicks can be made, but it should be a mile away).

If you can't do this, if you feel that the ring fragment in plain sight compromises your page design (even stripped to its barest elements like I do, see my main page, then don't join.

Now, how hard is that?

Why would anyone look at those rules and think that one or more of them should not apply to them? And I don't mean the ones that just skim through and don't read carefully (though they're pretty annoying too, when you hit a bunch of them in a row), I mean the ones like that twit a month or two ago who said something along the lines of that they read the rules, they just didn't think that I actually meant them!

I wish I could find that email, it was hilarious. What an ass.

I read about the most glorious thing in all the world in Philadelphia Magazine this weekend.

A soap of the month club! Neiman-Marcus, for $88, will send you a different bar of soap every month!

I am overwhelmed with longing...

Today's horoscope:
Someone near to you could benefit from a health check-up. Be practical and persuasive.

One year ago today:
So there you go, the answer is a resounding "Not necessarily"!
