Stuff Only I Care About IV

CARRY ME AWAY

Concrete Blonde has always been one of my favorite bands. I've been lucky enough to see them on several occasions. Hell, I even went to a Sting concert just because they were the opening act. Anyway, if you are/were a fan of Concrete Blonde, Berkeley Place posted an acoustic set from 1991 by Johnette Napolitano. Definitely worth a listen.

FIGHT CLUB SOLVED!

Remember when I told you about the Fight Club Junior in our neighborhood? Remember when I told you I was building my own swing set (Probably not, because no one was reading this site back then. For two months, I was writing for my own amusement, like a crazy little Unabomber.)? Well, this weekend I finally finished the swing set.

I'm slack. But you knew that already.

We invited all the kids in the neighborhood over to play today and told them all they are allowed to use it anytime they want. Time to buy some liability insurance.

I'M A JUNKIE

I use both Site Meter and StatCounter because one can never have enough stats and I'm cheap (they're both free). Site Meter has just recently begun tracking outclicks, so you know where people go when they leave your site. Very cool!

SUNDAY MORNING HANGOVER

Here are some of the more interesting/entertaining posts I've come across this week:

• Izzy learns of a flasher in her daughter's preschool class.
• Kristen discovers motherhood is a lot like being a secret agent.
• Lucinda proves she may very well be the coolest mom ever.
• MIM readies herself for her close-up.
  

FUN WITH GOOGLE

Here are some recent search terms people have used to get to my site:

• sweat candy in spanish
  I have no idea what sweat candy is in English, let alone Spanish. Whatever it is, it doesn't sound very appetizing.
• neurotic parenting
  Dude, you have sooooo come to the right place.
• vomiting stomach bug blog trash can
  See? I knew there were people out there who enjoyed good vomiting tales.
• why do dads and moms fight all the time
  Money? Stress? Kids? Kids.
  
• softer side of cynical
  Apparently, I've been too nice lately. Time to toughen up!
• party pleasuring
  And to think I thought party planning was the coolest job one could have.
• is my daughter dead??
  Google is good for a lot of things. But for determining if your daughter is alive or dead? I'd try calling 911 instead.
  

And these from MSN:

• spanish word for pink
  I have no idea, but my daughter could definitely tell you.
• cynical is not good!
  Not your fist time here, eh?
  

FIGHT CLUB REVISITED

My main problem with Fight Club: basically, the whole "movement" was started from people watching one guy beat himself up. I know that's what I look for in a leader.

Of course, they could've done much worse.
