DAILY DOSE: "You Were Always Good At Putting Words Together"

Wow. TWELVE comments? For LARA? You guys really know how to make a guy feel special. You know, I'm one to just give her the keys to the Kingdom and walk away. If you like her so much, you can HAVE her.

...seriously though, thanks for the inter-galactic-sized response to the guest star. I know her, and I know she probably really appreciates the attention. And Jack.

Actually, the fact that Lara's column was so simple, yet so effective, just proves how easy it is to be a Guest-Blogger here in the Kingdom. Notice, everyone ignores me on a daily basis, everyone embraces a fresh face. Does this mean I've lost my proverbial fastball? I digress though, the point I'm trying to make is that it's fun and easy to play along! So who's going to be my special scribe next week? And what the hell should I call the guest spot (assuming my dream of it becoming a regular occurance actually happens). Y'know, Lash Lareau, you're opinionated, and one HELL of a writer...I hereby DARE you to step up.

I was thinking of calling the guest column "BRINGING THE RUCKUS: {insert guest's name here}" in honour of my most recent, most favourite catch phrase. Any other suggestions?

Also, I DESEPERATELY need feedback on the Link of the Day. I'm thinking very hard about trying THIS out. In fact, I've written about 450 words for my entry. Which means I have a day to decide, for certain, if I want to give it a run, and also pear down my paper. So check out the contest, tell me if you think I should give it a shot, give suggestions on what I should write about. Hopefully, some of you have read what the old intern did. I have a feeling that Staubby and Banner have read him. And where IS Banner? He, like, totally went DiYanni on us. CONGRATS TO DOM ON THE ENGAGEMENT , by the way.

Another one bites the dust. $tock$ is dead. Long live umm..whomever's next?

Also, R.I.P., Star Trek: Enterprise, my third-favourite TV show, which was cancelled yesterday, and will end production after this season. Moving it to Friday was pretty much the death-knell eveyone knew it would be. MANY Trek-Geeks HATE this series, but I really really loved it. It's pretty much the only Trek since the Next Generation that I had any interest in. And now it's gone. Archer, Trip, and especially the PURE HOTNESS of Jolene Blaylock as "T'Pol," will be sorely missed.

Song of the Day is also from my Jeanie-provided MTSYWT II cd, it's Matt Nathanson's "Loud." So pretty. So sad. A Beautiful disaster. And yes, I'm going to write about that soon, once I figure it all out...

That's about all I've got for you, for now. I'm feeling weird today. Half-wired/half mellow. Half-emotionally despondent/Half-indifferent to the world around me. This will probably make for some quality blogging in a few days, but right now, you're just going to get insipid doldrumy stuff from me. Sorry to disappoint. Basically, it feels like I'm headed for a major change/upheaval in the status quo. Or, more accurately, I'm in the midst of a major period of change. It's sort of harrowing, sort of interesting, sort of boringly-redundant. I don't really know what to make of it, but since Kup left, it's just sort of been a definite closing of a chapter which has had a reverberating effect through a number of my relationships.

I guess as I adjust to the life I built up around me here, that I didn't even realize I had built, it's just kind of weird to get into the swing of things. I'm still sort of slowly processing it all, I guess. Also, I'm not really speaking to two pretty important people in my life, which I won't go into, but it's got me more than a little drained.

Ah well. C'est la vie. At least Kup's coming to visit this weekend (I think) which should be the re-energization that I desperately need.

I'm going to go do some work. Really- follow the Link and let me know what you think. How could would it be if I actually WON and got to be the Sports' Guy's Intern?
