So I mentioned last time that Stupid Internet Ads! got linked on Metafilter. Since then, it's been linked on Adrants and CollegeHumor.com. And I told you about the unique visitor tolls last time, right? Let's recap.

Friday: 1770
Saturday: 1326
Sunday: 674
Monday: 1090

Good! Ready for the latest figure?

Tuesday: 8196

Yep. Yesterday saw nearly 4 gigs of traffic, folks... which definitely puts us over the set bandwidth for the billing period. Which means I'm now footing the bill for all new incoming traffic. And if the period starts on the 17th of each month (and I think it might...), that's uh, not good. So yeah, hopefully some donations will come in at some point... (more...)

So I haven't had a lot to say these past few days, namely because despite my gothic tendencies I don't want this to turn into a blog of dark depression and misery and dripping mascara -- suffice it to say that things are pretty bad. It might amuse you to know that on Thursday I dropped my hair clipper as I began to cut my hair, knocking the blade out of the cutter, breaking it, and leaving a dent in the floor to boot. I found a screwdriver and fixed the clipper, but now it doesn't work as well... (more...)

First of all, thanks to everyone for the condolences regarding Duncan's passing. I plan to have a Crayon Haiku up about him sometime this week or next week, so he can live on not only in my blog but on SC as well. Hard to believe I really miss a fish -- he'd been here so long I hardly even noticed him when he was here -- but his death makes me feel slightly lumpy inside. It's weird. (more...)

I'm due at work at noon so I'VE GOTTA MOTOR, but I wanted to have this up before I left so here goes -- Happy Father's Day, Master Splinter! And to all of those other good fathers out there. Enjoy! Ja for now. 🙂

Well, I was going to write about how awful my day was (with one notable exception), but then something else happened... so it is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to someone who's lived in this house almost as long as I can remember. (more...)
