New- Google ads!

Sorry if the page looked a little strange for a while- I tried playing with Google Adsense. It's just another part of my obsession with them (see here for one sad-but-true manifestation of this.)

It wasn't working for me then, and I quit mid-monkeying around with the thing. Today after posting the previous "blade" debacle, I decided to put a few more minutes into it. I found out that I was blocking the ads in my browser. Oops.

So it's working now, and isn't covering the text anymore, as I assume it might have been (yeah-I can come up with the oddest of sentence structures, can't I?)

We'll see how it goes- how many complaints I get ("Cheese Straws? WTF dude?"), and how many pico-cents I'll be making a year.

I'm going now.

We gotssss itsssself a new blade!

(if you have allergic reactions to silly and/or offensive posts, you'd be better off ignoring this one)

So I've got a new razor. It's a "Schick Xtreme 3 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". Or something like that.

I'm such a technophobe, that this is the first razor I've ever bought with more than a single blade. I suck. So it's got three-times the damage wrecking power on my face. Call me a silly duck, but I think skipping over a dual-blade is a ballsy move.

It also has unnerving construction properties. Such as frail-looking parts, which might actually survive a sturdiness test. Oh, and it bends to my face's shape, rendering my face less unique. I'm not sure I'm big on that. Actually- I didn't really cut myself today- so that face-bending dealio could be a good thing.

I know- I know. I shouldn't be using slang like that (it makes baby Jesus cry). I'm truly sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry

Hello all (and by "all", I mean "Will Mon" :-P ),

I'm terribly sorry I've been away. It's all Katrina's fault. She's been keeping extremely busy and happy, so I don't have as much time or things to complain about.

We got back from Massachuessettes last night, visiting her family, and my good friend, Ben. Her family is really cool.

Besides bliss, work is good, classes are going rather well, and next week, I'll be finishing summer classes, and getting a short break. Sure, I'll probably be working full-time, but I'll be getting plenty of time to spend with Katrina and my one very lonely and neglected computer ;-)

Oh, and I finally got a haircut and got my car's oil changed.
