News, pop culture and frosty chocolate milkshakes... every day* since 2001.
*not every day**
**I should explain. I used to write a blog called Blather, which was a name I thought was really sharp in 2001, when I started the thing. Later, of course, and by "later" I mean like a month later, when everybody and their sister started blogging about their goddamn cats or whatever, you couldn't swing a dead... well, a dead cat without hitting a blog called THOTS or YE OLD WHIMSEY or, for that matter, BLATHER. But I had the name first and thought of it when it still seemed sort of kooky and clever and cool. I maintained Blather until 2004, when it started to feel dangerously like work. Later I did other Web-based things. Anyway, Blather's slogan, which some people were generous enough to remember, was "News, pop culture and frosty chocolate milkshakes." I tell you all this now because I find that nothing enhances a joke like when you explain it for a really, really long time.
