Attention-seeker, blah, blah ...

Robin Carmody, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oooh! I'm looking forward to it.

Robin, who were the two people pictured on yer site? I was thinking the girl was Fracoise Hardy and the bloke was Joe Orton although I'm probably completely wrong.

Fuck you, html. I get paid to design web pages, and I can't even do a proper link.

Dunedin - NZ - Duane & Maryann's diaries

Witty dinner table banter

"Ricko said 'I think the whole thing with smoking is, it's connected to this new amputee craze . . .'
I interrupted and said 'Wait! I just read that a Missy Elliot gig was marred by 'irrelevant wandering in the audience and bizarre talent contests' and now you're telling me there's an amputee craze?'
He said 'Things are a lot different now to how they were in your day.'"

surface vs depth

1471 is the blog section of the above, ie the shit that gets updated a bit more regularly...

gareth, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

fuck, i mean 1471. i'm supposed to be good at this html shit, but every time i format on these boards i fuck up, like making the entire sqrpshr thread go italic...

Michael: the photo you refer to is from Saint Etienne's "Foxbase Alpha". Still don't know quite who it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right (especially about Francoise). Certainly that era, anyway.

Robin Carmody, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well, it's not a blog, it's not even a proper website, fact is I haven't invested the time, but you can view my on-going design experimentations href="http://www16.brinkster.com/kimd/default.htm">here.

Kim, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

fuck.

Kim, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

huh? that didn't look like either of those ppl to me (francoise, orton)...OK i'm going back to have a look 'cause i COULD BE WRONG......

duane zarakov, Sunday, 10 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

gareth's a dawson's fan...yeay! The gr8 thing about Dawsons is that it can mean anything you want it to.

Geoff, Sunday, 10 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I do a weblog or ten. One of them is Groke.

Tom, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

tom - multiple bologs is like multiple mormon wives - wherre hte fuck do you get the energy?

Geoff, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Multiple web groupies? I imagine an Almost Famous type harem surrounding him, all entranced by the entertainment weekly article, each one begging him to "look at my blog".

Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's been months since I had a new web groupie, EW or no EW.

Tom, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tsk, tsk, so spoiled.

You have to wait til the site is back up for them to pop up daily again...

Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If multiple weblogs is like multiple wives, well then, uh, Tom's kind of open with Mrs. NYLPM Ewing. Tom, you scoundrel.

Josh, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

He's a Larry Flynt style sleazoid. He should at least grow a moustache to identify himself as such.

Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have a moustache, it comes with the beard.

NYLPM should have its name changed to "Freaky Trigger Swingers Club" - go hits go.

Tom, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well, I guess a beard would give off a sort of "dirty old man in stained raincoat" kind of vibe, so I guess it works.

Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

As luck would have it Tom has a stained old raincoat as well!!

Josh, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

They hand them out in Beard School.

Tom, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

So THAT'S why my beard won't grow right. I NEVER WENT TO BEARD SCHOOL.

Josh, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My mum told me never to trust men with beards. She should know, she's married to one.

DG, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My dad has a beard. So does Fred, it's so weak. If he didn't look better with the beard, I'd totally hire someone to ambush him in the night to shave the fucker off.

Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Your Mum is married to a man who has a beard? That's outrageous!

Here's another one of my weblogs. You might know it. I gave it a bit of a brush-up design wise, though.

Tom, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Two words: Greg Evigan.

Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My mom is the definition of outrageous, Tom. The DEFINITION.

Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It certainly sounds like it. She should have a sitcom or something.

It could be called: "I Married Beardie"

Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It'd have to be directed by David Lynch, really. I mean, my dad has a beard and a shaved head and he bought a $150 walking stick (when we had NO MONEY and were "on the dole", as those wacky Brits say) for no reason other than it was "fucking cool". And don't get me started on my mom, I'm still trying to figure out where her insistance on this idea that she should become an avant garde artist in New York and make statues of the Pope in embarassing positions (on government grant of course) came from.

Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

In case anyone's interested, I've jut updated my blog after a short hiatus (to do with illness and laziness). Today: the Bulger killers and democracy.

Just admit it, Ally. Your father is Ramon Elinevsky.

Otis Wheeler, Sunday, 24 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Just admit it, Ally. Your father is Ramon Elinevsky.

SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. Like it's not bad enough my mom emails me that every day. "Hahaha, he wears a military uniform for no reason! You're hanging out with your father!" "Hahahaha, he forced you to watch a film about communist Russia, you're hanging out with your father!" She loves Ramon, and she's never met him. I'm so not going to tell her about his ubercomplex plan to take over the world (which totally wouldn't work, which I told him but he won't listen).

My dad, on the other hand, when shown those pictures you put on the net by my mom, said that Ramon looked like someone who needed "to have [my dad] come to Amherst and kick his fucking ass". Now there's a fight, it'd be like the twilight zone. Though if I told him the world domination plan he'd probably want to join up. They could call each other comrade all day.

My head is about ready to explode from this theory, thanks Otis.

Ally, Sunday, 24 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Don't blame me, I didn't come up with the theory. That was all you.

Otis Wheeler, Monday, 25 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, I blame myself, like you could come up with such a cool, fucked up, psychologically-horrible-mindfuck theory anyhow. It takes a special kind of psychopath for that.

Ally, Monday, 25 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I just want to take this opportunity to do some shameless promotion for my blog. a fire inside.

Thank you.

michele, Tuesday, 26 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is THE PLACE I have been looking for on the internet. FREE ADVERTISEMENT for my weblogs. There is SEX AND SUNSHINE, my clever blog about music, movies, books, chess etc. and then there is MUSIC 2 THE POWER OF N, my even smarter metablog (needs an update urgently) where I steal other people's ideas and comment on them.

Bloody hell, I cannot find "I love everything" using Google. Does that mean this forum is not googlarized (there was this nice song by Captain Beefheart "I am gonna booglarize you")? What a WASTE OF TIME! I will try to submit my site to Yahoo! again!

alex in mainhattan, Tuesday, 3 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I figured I'd drop another quick plug for GRR because I've begun to share the special hell which is attempting to memorize all of "Carmina Burana". I've stuck the lyrics to one of the best songs in the world, "In taberna quando sumus" up there just to give people a taste of what I have to cram into my head by Monday.

Dan Perry, Tuesday, 3 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

alex, it will appear on google eventually, but theres a bit of a time lag between new sites and their googlarization, and ILE has, incredibly, only been going for about 3 weeks!

gareth, Tuesday, 3 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm resurrecting this topic to talk about a specific issue I have. Every once in a blue moon I get sick of talking to my roommate, so I check my stats online. I never get disturbed by pornographic hits. I do find disturbing people who find my site, however, searching for "dogs in chef hats", "battlebot jay leno" (!?!?!?!?!), or "parker posey's waist". I mean, for fuck's sake, what? Who is looking for these things?

The most disturbing search I get - and I get it often - is people searching for ME SPECIFICALLY. I.e. a google search for Ally Kearney. Am I right to be really freaked out by that? For the record, I believe my mom found my website, being as she figured out that I didn't quit smoking, got a new tattoo, and I got an internal search for "mom" (that was the kicker), and I believe she found it searching specifically for me. I also think someone I work with has done it to look at my webcam. I mean, what's going on there? Does anyone else with a page get an inordinant amount of hits for their own name? I mean, I'm talking like one out of every 10 hits I get is someone searching on my name. WTF?

Ally, Tuesday, 10 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"battlebot jay leno" = Jay Leno was on that Comedy Central show, _Battlebots_. People build robots that fight each other in an enclosed ring / obstacle course. (Not as cool as it sounds.) He had his own bot. It had a big "chin".

As far as being "found out" on the web - I would think that the free exchange of information that typifies the Internet would preclude a sense of secrecy, in terms of how much of yourself you reveal. If you're on the web, chances are someone's going to find you, whether it's your mom, a skeevy co-worker, or someone looking for more of your writings. Curiosity is a strange li'l impulse.

David Raposa, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I guess it's a little too late for me to mention that I have an anti-blog page. Well, sort of. Needs updating, though, starting with Dan's blog.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ned, it seems to me that you've forgotten In Review. Such a shame to forget such a fine blog as In Review. Such a shame.

Sterling Clover, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sadly, no, I won't be blogging about that.

When in doubt, go with "Does What It Says On the Tin." Not literally that. Maybe I shouldn't have used quotes.

Eh, why not?

Here's mine: It's Like When A Cowboy Becomes A Butterfly - a title I love or hate depending on what time of the day it is.

Mainly me jotting down stuff about art comics, but over the past month I've posted 6000-7000 words about Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner".

So there ya go.
