In case you missed all the going's-on around here the past 24 hours, my big mouth went at it again and the end result is a brand spankin' new book of my photoblog photos courtesy of the nice gentlemen at Qoop. I must say I've been rather impressed with their responsiveness thus far and look forward to their product offerings in the near future. Plus they've buttered me up, responded to my criticisms, and given me free stuff so I'm guessing they're all married since they seem to know how to handle women like total pros. Well done chaps, well done. I'll be sure to post a full review of the book when I get it, sometime before the end of next week by the sounds of it. In the meantime do check out their grammatically correct, spell-checked, free of PHP errors site, won't you?
That's not all my sassy mouth has been up to lately. It appears my enthusiastic post about the trip I made to Sex World last week is now making the rounds on mnspeak.com and Minneapolis Metroblogging. This in itself isn't particularly relevant unless you're my mother or father. In which case all those things you taught me about "getting published" are almost bringing you tears, seeing as how you never meant it to be my drunken escapades to the gigantic, pink sex store that got people listening. One day my esteemed self might be fortunate enough to write a doctoral thesis on a mating habits of suburbanite something-er-others, but in the meantime my drunken escapades will have to suffice. At least it's better than getting people talking about those semi nude photographs I posted that generated crazy amounts of traffic. Which is also true, only people have been doing a lot more looking than talking in the latter's case.
But then there was that one time, oh man I love this story, I posted about Gideon Defoe's kick ass book called "Pirates, In an adventure with Scientists" (which, by the way, is extraordinarily fabulous and a *must read* on everyone's list). A few days after the post I had to go and fuck all that up by posting about a series of unfortunate events that led to a very shaved nether-region which was also the day Mr. Defoe decided to stop by my site and say hi.
You know... of allllll the bloody things he could have read on my site it had to be that post. Just my luck. He did say, however, that he would try to include "The pirate with the unfortunate gum-chewing incident" or "The pirate who most loved kittens" in to his next novel which is pretty cool. If I can get him to include "The pirate who most loved pink" in to his third novel my work here will be complete. Wouldn't that be just fabulous? He was likely joking, but just in case he wasn't, that second novel comes out next month at which time I will be first in line Mr. Defoe. Looking forward to it (called "Pirates, in an adventure with Ahab" in case you can't contain your enthusiasm). Very Monty Pythonesque if I do say so myself.
That's all I've got for you today. A little of this, that, and the other thing. Should keep you busy reading for a while. And if you're not in to semi-nude photos or disgraceful posts about gum and/or sex shops check out Char's new photoblog complete with a new name and a new design. Her photos are lovely and it's great to watch her progress each day. Happy reading.

It's too bad that I was just a wee lurker at the time of the gum chewing incident... sigh. I still got a good laugh about it, even the second time around! Thanks - I needed it! hee!
I recall the gum chewing as well...*ahem* hell I was actually afraid to post because I had not yet given you a *virtual eavluation* but them I said what the hell, I 'm off anyway!
I'm *so* going to start looking at websites and nitpicking to get me free shit too! Damn you! Damn QOOP! Every {regular} visitor to Sophie's site should get a free book too.... {growling insanely, near foaming} anyhoo....
I did love the light and lace pictures, but be careful becasue I have some risque self portraits that I've been considering posting.....so look out ;)
Impressive blog you have here, very well spoken amidst a clean design. And yes, Char is definitely rocking theese days.
The lurkers around here! I can't believe the both of you were lurking at that time and I didn't even know. Well I'm certainly glad you spoke up otherwise I wouldn't have known about both of your fabulous sites :).
Thanks for the compliment Ben. If you check out my About page you'll see I've been through about 4 dozen designs. It was time for something very, very clean and simple thus the current digs. I'm sure I'll be over it by Halloween and ready for gaudy and oppressive again :).
Sophie is over designs as quick as I'm over designs, what a tradegy, but her designs superceed my talent {bows at the insatiable Sophie} LOL.
Raych,
I need your email since I am *so* locked out of the BLOG!!
Chief smiley pleasure today - clicking on each of the words "semi" (click) "nude" (click) "photos" (click) "I" (click) "posted" - I mean, I know I've seen 'em before and stuff, but it made me giggle, and I'm nothing if not shallow.
And why do I never get free stuff???
LOL @ Welly :) those wordz make me giggle too.
