Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am in a daftish mood.

msbelle, by contiguous halves I wanted to know if you were wrapping it in one piece of Christian paper and one piece of Jewish. Or, as would be possible, five pieces of christmas paper alternating with five pieces of chanukah paper.

Yeah, still daftish. I want my IQ back, dammit.

I've now earned $14.94 from Google ads. Honestly, if this keeps up, I could use that money to pay for a dedicated server for provocateuse. Huh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Who wants to come fold my laundry for me?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That's some serious eyes-per-page there, ita. I think if I put ads on my site I'd make that amount in one year. Maybe.

153,169 page impressions since I signed up at lunchtime yesterday. The site was about to cost me a fortune, and I didn't know what to do--close it down, or get booted off a good host for peaking their CPU (I'd run out of bandwidth and shut down most of the sites for a week or so at the end of the billing period, which means I was making the load asymmetrical). I'm willing to spend some money on providing these sites, because they're fun and I like it, but dedicated hosting? Ouch.

If the ad thing keeps panning out, then I can kick myself for not having thought of it sooner.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Where are the ads? I can't see them to kick you a penny.

Where are the ads?

I haven't put ads on bestof yet (I like the spare look), but most of the other sites have them on the main pages (wetmen twice, top and bottom) and above the logo on the picture pages.

Looking at Adam Brody's spectacle page it's offering me an opportunity to buy an "I love Seth Cohen" T shirt and something else titled "Adam Brody-The OC" and talking about music and fashion. Targeted marketing that might even work, given the popularity of my sites at myspace.

In general, though, when it doesn't know what to offer, it often offers Brad Pitt, and sometimes Orlando Bloom.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, still daftish. I want my IQ back, dammit.
Does this fall into the No Takebacks clause?

OMG. I think I forgot you had a spectacles page. I have a real thing for wire-rimmed glasses.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so, those ads are odd. some just take part of the name. some take you to places that have nothing to do with what i thought the adds were for. However, the van helsing hat ad - that was woth a look at.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Urgh. Today we are going to attempt to commute in via water taxi. My ride to the taxi picks me up in 15 min. I am tired and cranky. I really do not enjoy the dealing with people I know less than an hour after I wake up aspect of this strike commuting. Sure I should have gone to bed earlier, but shoulda coulda woulda.

At least today is my last day of work. I run a big meeting at 10, but hope to be out of the office by 1 or 2. I need to pack and clean and find a cat feeder and TONIGHT I really MUST get to bed early. 6am flight, yo.

ION, the Santa hat came out today. HO HO HO.
