Three Posts in One

Issue #1:

Went to my first blogger trivia tonight. We came in third, but it was fun. Finally got to meet some of my fellow ATL bloggers IRL. (O, the acronyms!) I’m not going to write much about trivia because I’m sure a few of them will. (Aside: I really want that ThinkGeek t-shirt that says “I’m Blogging This.”) However, it should be noted that I promised Rusty that I will continue my review of Every Young Man’s Battle, and that I’ll add an RSS feed. -Wait, I already promised the RSS feed to Dipika. So I guess that one was just reinforced.

Issue #2:

I wanted to write an entry of decent length about this article, entitled “Sexless in the City”… but then I realized that since I work for the site in question, it might be, like, a conflict of interest, or something. Or I might get dooced, because the the things I’d say about it aren’t all praise and adulation. Is saying it’s “mostly fluff” enough to get me called into my boss’s office and lectured? In my not-so-humble opinion, this is the only good bit in the article:

If you want a sexual relationship and you don’t have one, that’s one thing — but if you are unhappy because society makes you feel abnormal or unhealthy without a sex life, then don’t be swayed by that argument — as long as you feel good about your life, that’s all that counts.

And actually, I could’ve quoted just the final clause, if I’d wanted to be even more concise.

Issue #3:

I did laundry 3 days ago and have yet to hang up my clothes. This is, arguably, the most important issue herein.

    In retrospect, much as I liked the HST reference, I wish Every Young Man’s Battle had been our team name.

    I think our team name was awesome. We definitely should’ve won best team name. Push My Button or whatever it was… that is a really lame name. It’s not even funny. Ours, on the other hand, was tinged with irony! And it got us glared at by Republicans at the other table!

    Every Young Man’s Battle can be our name next time. Maybe that’ll get some applause.

    Well, now you have to share the team name.

    You know, I came to work today with my clothes still in the washing machine. I’m feeling slightly guilty about this. Oh well, I shall just have to find reserves of strength I have never had to call upon before and get over it.

    Dude! We totally got second place! It doesn’t really matter as second place is just first loser, but the prize money for second is 150% more than for third.

    We did get 2nd?? Excellent! Not sure if that had been worked out.

    Sorry Niki, I thought I had already mentioned the team name… it was “Fear and Loating for Four More Years.” Good, right?

    And I understand about you feeling guilty about leaving your clothes in the washing machine. I would too. I’m feeling guilty today because I drove to work. We just need to get together and self-flagellate or something. Cast out our sins!

    Ditto on the RSS feed! Yes, please..

    I will, I will… it’s all a matter of having some free time, of course… but I won’t let my fans down, I swear! (har har…)
