Links, News, & Thanks

The lovely, talented, and extremely busy Bitchitude was kind enough to post a picture of her "thank you penguin", which arrived in Hawaii recently. You may recall that she was among the five guest bloggers during last month's trip to Las Vegas. The penguins went out to all the participants since I've got no cash to hand out for such things.

Another guest blogger kind enough to mention me in recent days is Arizona's finest, Jade. She's all bent out of shape (quite actually...back injury) and hasn't been able to read or do much of anything lately. Somehow, she managed to put pluggin' my blog on her list of things to do and I am always thankful for the extra traffic. Maybe some of you can go wish her well as she's in a lot of pain right now and believe me, back pain sucks royal ass!

Speaking of sucking royal ass, I forgot to mention on Monday that my weight has not changed since the previous week. However, I seem to have shed a couple of pounds since Monday, thanks to a lot of bike riding. With a little luck and a little work I should be back to the 220 mark by next Monday.

What doesn't suck royal ass is the e-pauly blog, which also has been kind enough to reprint yesterday's Ten Things Tuesday list. I also hear there are photos of breasts and tales of drunken debauchery to be found there. COOL!

Spent the day with my lovely wife visiting two different zoos. I was at the Racine Zoo and the Milwaukee Zoo. I should have some photos to share later.

We also bought two new fish today. I know that posting about buying goldfish is the very reason why blogs are completely useless, but we were mildly traumatized by the death of our 3+ year old goldfish, Rick, Monday night. Naturally we had to overcompensate for the loss and two new fish seemed to be the sensible solution. I suggested an evening of hot sex, but the fish-buying thing made more sense I guess.

I also have some updates on my quest for more info on the El Rey Casino, a report on my visit to Searchlight, Nevada, some other stories from Las Vegas, and continuing updates on my complete lack of a career. So stay tuned and please tell all the readers that used to come here all the time to come the hell back here!
