Best of the Week, Edition 1

Obviously, the Plug-It Thursday thing didn’t work out. But I have a new idea, and I think this one will take off more than the Plug-It Thursday thing did. Every single day, I go through my blogroll and read certain blogs that I find are interesting. I do the same with MySpace subscriptions, LiveJournal entries and blogs I find on Digg and Technorati. Sometimes, a blogger writes something that I wish I could reciprocate or redirect here on my blog. Alas, we now have “Best of the Week”, a new thing I’ll be doing every Saturday in which I take three (and eventually move on to five) blog entries that stood out in the past seven days and link them in a weekly entry. And please don’t be offended or hurt if you don’t make it into this week’s entry or the week after, or the week after, because eventually I will get to you. Especially if you’re someone like Debra, Heather, Just A Toy or any of my LiveJournal friends—you know, the people I read on a daily basis.

Because of the entry length, I’ll probably be using that feature that adds a “more” link, so don’t start freaking out if you only see one entry instead of three—they are there, but they’re hiding under the “more” link. Let’s get started.

Best of the Week #3: Bright Blue
Written by Emo Debra
I really don’t remember how I came about giving Debra the name “Emo Debra” when referring to her on my blogroll. I think one of her headers had something to do with cats and embracing her inner-emo self. Anyway, this entry (even if you’re me and have absolutely no idea what’s going on) is one that people can get a small inside chuckle from. Read the phone conversation she has, and picture this happening in your mind. Doesn’t it feel like a scene from a 1990s sitcom?

Doing Some Good

17 March, 2007 at 1:13 am | In Life, Outings | 1 Comment

In about three hours, I have to be awake so I can get ready for a trip to Sacramento. Ninja Jim and I will be participating in a community service event with the American Cancer Society.

The ACS does this annual community event called Daffodil Days. The idea is to give everyone suffering from cancer in the Sacramento area a daffodil as a sign of rebirth and renewal (it’s been said that daffodils are one of the first flowers to bloom in spring). One of our facilitators at the community center Ninja Jim and I go to works for the ACS, and since I have nothing better to do with my Saturday, I might as well go.

But…I’ll be getting three hours of sleep, and I won’t be coming home until two-ish in the afternoon. So I’m hoping and praying that time flies.

P.S.:  With all the excitement over the new online radio station FiercePanda.us launched almost two weeks ago (and we’re movin’ up in the ranking still!), I forgot to mention that within the next two weeks, a new Podcast will be released.  But first, I’m going to schedule it to play on Stream 24 during the weekend.  If people tune in, it’ll probably become a regular thing, but that remains to be seen.
