Oh well, one of the two contributors I have issues with on Down With Absolutes has deleted all her posts except a farewell message and left the blog. I’m certainly not suggesting that my comments were significant enough to cause her departure, of course, but what timing! And yet, our catfighting continues in the comments of that post (I admit, I was the instigator this one time).

About This Blog
Just another personal blog, wherein I bore you with what I've recently watched, listened to, read, digested, contemplated, observed, and experienced, and how cool it would be if I were anything like the person you think I am. I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like everybody else.

- Faster, Paris! Kill! Kill!
TCM showed a couple of cult film classics from 1965 tonight, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mudhoney. One of the female leads in the latter bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton. I could picture her in a remake along with Nicole Ritchie, although neither is voluptuous enough for a Russ Meyer flick! #
- I am not a spammer!
I've been getting a lot of bounce back emails over the past few days. It appears that nyominx.com is getting joe jobbed—someone is sending out spam and putting fake email addresses with my domain in the "From" field. To top it off, I'm getting the same spam messages coming from other domains who I assume are also getting joe jobbed! The worst part is that there's really nothing I can do about it except complain and assure you that it's not originating from me. #
- My current header image...
...is an homage to The Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn. Marginally related: I was feverishly sick once while quite young and, so sick that I was hallucinating... At the foot of my bed, a tiny Nancy was chasing a tiny Sluggo (or maybe Sluggo was chasing Nancy, it's been so long I can't remember now) across my blanket with a stick, intent on giving a serious beating. I screamed, and my parents came running, but I never could really quite explain to them what had terrified me. #

I updated my obligatory "this is my dog" page, now including a short sound clip (video soon to follow, hopefully). #

What timing, indeed. No, Nyomi. My departure has nothing to do with your comments. It doesn’t surprise me that you would speculate, however tentatively, that it does.
Nope, sorry, I’m in no way speculating, tentatively or otherwise, that my comments caused your departure. Hence the words “certainly not suggesting”. I’m a person of little or no importance, and was merely making note of the coincidental timing. And by coincidental, I mean just that. Coincidence. No hidden meaning. You take me far more seriously than I do.
