This post could be subtitled “Or: where the hell have you people been in the last 9 years?”

I’ve been blogging a long time and across several different domains, although always under my real name. I’ve built solid relationships with people through blogging and by virtue of being connected to a super-connected person. I have a blogfam, and it’s a beautiful thing.

What I’ve never really had, however, is an audience.

• Never ordering from Zappos Canada again. $15 dollars to return a pair of shoes, when US customers don’t have to pay it? Criminal! #
• That $15 dollar Zappos fee sucks especially hard when the shoes were on sale for $30 to begin with. #
• Sometimes living in this country feels like a punishment, but usually only when it comes to online shopping. #
• Watching "Scenes of a Sexual Nature" only because Ewan McGregor and Adrian Lester are in it: http://is.gd/dsV #
• Thinking of buying bike shoes on the recommendation of a friend. #
• Canon people: Spend $75 at Shootsac.com in May and be entered to win one of 3 lenses. (Sucks that this offer only appeals to Canon shooters) #
• Just realized I left a favorite pair of shoes in the Bay Area. #
• Twitterverse: has anyone out there had any experience with Trek Bicycling’s Women Specific Design (WSD) bikes? #
• @library_chic Yeah, but it’ll take about a month to get them. #
• @geekandahalf Thanks for the tip. I have a bike, but I want a better and more comfortable one. #
• @michellej Are they women specific designs? #
• Is it too much to ask for bike manufacturers to develop navigation that is organized by gender or type of riding you intend to do? #
• Navigation on their websites, that is #
• @kcxd Well, hallelujah! Now if only I could find someone to take my current bike off my hands. #
• Elbow deep in Plone. #
• @hillarygayle I never get tired of that song or that movie. #
• Am I the only one who wishes Pitchfork would use a bigger font on their site? #
• Hungry. Wanting to eat something totally bad for me though I know I shouldn’t. #
• I can’t keep up with you politicos. What has HRC done now? #
• Twitterverse: other than #9rules, can you suggest any other blog portals? #
• Wasn’t it John Stewart who said something about wanting a president who was better than him? #
• Upside to living in Canada: our politics aren’t (usually) so racially polarized. #
• @Miss604 Caked on butter? I think you’ve just put me off my lunch. #
• @mellemusic I want liquored up cupcakes! #
• Re-reading the Go Fug Yourself post where Britney names her children Kevney Cheetos and Britven Red Bull. #
• I haven’t visited since the last Friday Night Lights episode aired, but my God, the new TWoP design is annoying. #
• I’m on the "Top Tweets" board for Twitter Local/Vancouver but still nobody here knows who I am. #
• There are a couple of library staff making out right now in our office. #
• OK, not making out exactly, but there’s some smooching going on. #
• @mellemusic @michellej This is for you: http://cupcakecamp.pbwiki.com/ #
• @mellemusic Not only is it fun to say, it’s fun to do! #
• @slamhita I used to think I could never work in a library either, but 4 years of working for soul sucking corporations disabused me of that. #
• @slamhita And they are very sensual places. Must be all that freedom of information. *wiggles eyebrows* #
• Now thanks to @slamhita and @mellemusic I’m contemplating making out in a library. #
• @slamhita You dirrty. #
• I’ve never done it but I had a friend who swore by the men’s restroom on the 3rd fl. of the Ga. State University Library. #
• @irinaslutsky For the same reasons as my sexually adventurous male friend was using them? #

• I can get a free copy of Cory Doctorow’s new YA novel. SWEET! http://is.gd/cZ5 #
• @RPM See, now that you’ve made that Jamal Simmons comparison, I’m going to think about the theme to the Munsters whenever I see him. #
• Eight Belles… Eight Belles… #
• Stupid conference call. I want to hear what’s going on! #
• @ruby What’d she say?! What’d she say?! #
• @geekandahalf OH EM GEE I just figured out what your avatar is. #

• I’m going to start a petition to bring back the butch(ish) Rachel Maddow. #
• @mellemusic My husband loves that shot. #
• @geekandahalf I think people were impressed by McDermott’s head of hair. #
• @RPM I love the way McDermott kept reiterating "Hammond isn’t the county with the problem….we counted our votes *HOURS* ago!" #
• I’m wondering if this is going to turn out to be a "Dewey Defeats Truman" kind of night? At any rate, I’m going to bed. #
• Watching Donna Brazile go all sassy on Paul Begala’s milquetoast ass: http://is.gd/deg #
• @arsepoetica Are we talking about favorite high school colognes? If so, mine was Grey Flannel. Ooh, child. #
• @tiffanybbrown Agreed with @misterjt re: the disappearing "I will be". I’m also the first to add librarian. No surprise there. #
• @arsepoetica Ew. In my high school, only jackasses wore Polo. Strangely enough, I don’t like cologne on men anymore. #
• I had a scary moment last night when I agreed with Chris Matthews about voters who supported Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos strategy. *shudders* #
• Hee. My photo is now the header on @mellemusic ’s blog. #
• MC Gravella Hellacopter. #
• I’m officially dead. Somebody call the funeral home. #
• @geekandahalf *perk* Did somebody say thick thighs? #

• @allaboutgeorge LOL gets my vote. #
• @scifirantergirl Dammit, you had to give me a reason to go see the new Terminator movie, didn’t you? #
• Read a bit of "Dreams from My Father" over lunch. If the US screws this election up, I’m surrendering my passport. #

• @urbanbohemian If you go to the 10pm showing, you usually only have to put up with teenagers. At least they’re quiet during the movie. #
