The one thing I will probably avoid will be Harkarl, rotten shark meat that’s buried under rocks for three months so ammonia and acids leak away, then hung outside for another three months. It’s supposed to be one of the most vile, disgusting foods on the planet, so I don’t think I’ll try it. But we’ll see.
I just enabled comments on this thing, so maybe those will get used once in a while.
I'm tired of the internet
Not really. But I’m tired of the view I get of the internet through my feedreader, which is what I use to find shit to write about all day. Focusing on one genre of blogs and websites more than others means I see the same stories and posts and pictures over and over and over again, and it gets really deadening.

I am loving this. Every day more questions/answers are added, and I can’t get enough. I may be mildly obsessed with Bruni. Or, if that’s too creepy, let’s just say that I would do almost anything to become friends with him and go out to dinner with him a couple nights a week. Is that more or less creepy? Whatever, I love the Brunz.
