I was on a friend’s Twitter and went from her Twitter to her friend’s Twitter page. This in itself should have given me a clue. But it did not. I checked out her portfolio site and then blogged about it and I wasn’t so nice. I didn’t say really bad things but I shouldn’t have said anything at all. I defend my tables nazi stance when it comes to Web design but this is no reason to bash the friend of a friend. I don’t mind getting “caught”. Because we all need reminders that what we write can have repurcussions and we have to be ready to stand up or apologize .I got this reminder when my friend called me and asked me what was up with what I wrote. Thank heaven she wasn’t upset. I think she just thinks I am nuts. I can live with that.

Sorry
I did not mean to attack the friend of a friend.
I was in my tables=bad zone.
I am like a dog with a bone on that subject.It may have seemed like I intended to be mean but I really just meant …well, I can’t say anymore because I have my foot in my mouth already!
I deleted the post.
Tina is such a great person and a friend of hers must be cool,too.
The Case of the Roommate with a Sofa Attached to His Bottom
My boyfriend’s brother,our roommate. I will say it isn’t exactly fair of me to gripe since I too am always home.I work from home.I live with my boyfriend and we don’t go out that much because we are homebodies. However, we are a couple. Lame as it is that we aren’t going out to the clubs & wresting every possible amusement from the city as we can —it is not that lame because we aren’t single with a couch stuck to our bottoms not doing anything about being single. When we are home we will eventually have to get up to walk the dog. We can go back to our inert postures if we want. But we will have to go walk that dog. It kind of saves us from slipping completely into the mind numbing tv marathon that many weekends can be lost to. If one isn’t vigilant against sloth–which one can’t always be vigilant against.
When I was single I was out there.I met the people. I didn’t want to be single.
Maybe our pal just doesn’t want to meet anyone? Countless weekends find him staked out in the living room watching baseball or playing his guitar or watching baseball while playing his guitar only budging from the sofa to go to the bathroom or to go to his room to loudly play his bass or the same 4 songs on his stereo or play his bass while playing the same 4 songs on his stereo,then back to the couch where he falls asleep while Sports Night blares from the set.
The only way to make this stop is to lie in wait for the few minutes he may leave the sofa and then snatch the remote and frantically find something else to watch so that the sports watching sofa hogging extravaganza is nipped in the bud for a few hours.Last night I managed to do this and was able to see TV premiere of Half Nelson on Sundance.Big Coup.
I am hoping this is just a phase…that someday he might find the company of friends or one special friend in particular worth leaving the sofa.
My idea was stupid.
While watching Comedians of Comedy for the 7th time I got the brilliant idea that I should contact one or two of the comedians and offer to redo their Web sites for free.
I did not follow through on this harebrained scheme.
Point Number One: I do not think these folks are easily contactable, therefore an email I send to their website catch all mail box will probably never be seen by them but by their web master who probably built the site and would not take kindly to some chick wanting to snatch it from them.
That’s really all the points I have to make.
Maria Bamford has a good site already. She doesn’t need a new one.
Zach’s is not so great but if you look at it without viewing the source(yikes) it is fine. As a famous person he doesn’t need to worry about SEO since his name is enough. He is the one I think is the most funny but the least approachable. So naturally I love him. Brian Posehen, has a site that was last updated in 2004. Well, someone stuck a badge for the movie tour on there. But that was a year ago at least. There’s a forum which seems to be used …It’s a bad site, but again he has no need for SEO. Patton has a good site. No need for me there,either. He also has a myspace which he uses.
Then I watched the documentary about the comedy scene in Boston in the 80’s:When Stand Up Stood Out.
So I thought I’d check out Barry Crimmins’ site hoping it was awful.It is not.It is really good.I thought I could at least get his attention by saying
“Hi my name is Sion and your crazy sister Lucia used to scare the fuck out of me in the cult she ran in Dallas in the 80’s.I grew up with your nieces…how are you feeling,do you need a site re design?”
The poor man might feel guilty. Or maybe he wouldn’t.And doesn’t he look great in this picture?
My idea was silly.
