A Different “Self Enclosure”

In addition to doing some blog housekeeping, I’ve been looking over some statistics for The Edge of Vanilla. WordPress includes some built-in tools to allow one to see the search terms that people use to find me. Blogger does not, but some of the hit counters have the software that do the same thing. I [...]

Beating a meme to death

And the 80’s revival continues!
I stumbled across Cranky Chaos, who’s also doing the 80s thing, and from there went to this test:

Final Score: 119.425
I wasted 45 minutes of my life. I think I’d have done a little better, but the scoring is extremely picky, and [...]

80s 4-ever!!!

I guess I can stop feeling guilty about my enjoyment of 80s music. Not only have 80s fans come out of the closet, they’re having a barbecue over at Joe Flirt’s place.
Just to get into the headspace, I’ve spent the last 2 days with my Yahoo radio channel on the ’80s Alternative’ station. Talking Heads, [...]

My Guilty Pleasures

I was snagged tagged by 2am:

Guilt
What is yours?
Explain yourself

Culinary:
Macaroni & cheese
I’m not even going to try to defend this one, other than to say it’s comfort food, especially on a cold winter’s day.

Literary:
I never read popular fiction
This is more of an “anti-guilt,” but I confess to being a [...]

Fauxdommes & Fauxmissives

Sometimes it’s simply too difficult to keep one’s mind in the game. All those rules and regulations start running together, and if you’re not focused you’ll wake up one morning and realize that you’re confused, and that some Dick will tell you that you’re not as real as you once thought you were. Then [...]

Sorry about that…

I’m a Mozilla & Firefox browser fan, and in fact, only use IE for some odd websites that I need for work. Yesterday I changed the theme for this blog. WordPress doesn’t offer a lot of options for 3-column layouts (although to be fair, Blogger didn’t offer any at all). Don’t ask why, I just [...]

Housekeeping and stuff

When I began moving my blog over to WordPress, I had a number of sidebar categories that I had done in HTML that sort of just came over with me in a pretty much undisturbed state; I just copied them and posted the code into the several WP “widget” text boxes. You know, kind of [...]

“… but when I’m bad, I’m terrific.”

The quote from Mae West supposedly went “When I’m good, I’m very good; but when I’m bad, I’m terrific.” I’ve always liked the humor of it, but it points up something interesting. As a response to my post on the “fines” for being bad, Suzy (who managed a respectable $610.10) had this to [...]
