Coming from you it means a lot because I think you have many very creative and insightful posts. It's funny to me because sometimes I think my posts are too short. My reviews very rarely exceed four paragraphs and are ususally just three. I am glad you appreciate their conciseness. Jessica, Thank you for your kind words.

That Hair Down There post just keeps following me around! If I ever go to a blogger convention, I'm gonna have to introduce myself as "the one that writes about pubes". LOLOL Thanks for the shout out. :D Heh. That Hair Down There post just keeps following me around!

I'm enjoying a good <i>whine</i>. And thank you: now I have a solution to finding time to post ;) I've actually meant to clutter up my blog a bit: my static TBR pile is annoying, because the bulk of the bookberg is stuck below the waterline. But I keep putting it off because of a reluctance to commercialize, natch. No worries, CJ. I’m enjoying a good whine. And thank you: now I have a solution to finding time to post ;)

And now I have them! Thanks much for the kind words. Should I let you know how I do on Sociology: Marriage and Family? Your blog has been especially helpful in my discussion sections. I'm not sure whether the fact that I'm the only married person in the class is a help or a hinder truthfully. :) But I know you're one of my favorite procrastination tools.

I totally wasn't thinking of you! I won't disown you. If your RSS does that, I never noticed. Wait,what if the level 5 bat blog that I think does that post time rejiggering is totally innocent and really their RSS does it? But I sort of don't think so. Jessica: if you were to change the time on your post to this minute, it would sail to the top of everybody's list. And then we will blodgeon you!! Wait, hold on – RFP!

I blodgeon, though blodgeonst, nous blogeons. No, as far as I know, I invented it just for that comment. Not because of you, really; only prompted by you. And after much provocation in other circles of the bogosphere. Ooh, getting <i>tough</i>, CJ. Well, disown me if you <i>must</i>. It's my <i>stupid</i> RSS feed. It does these funky <i>things</i>.

I can't figure out where <a href="http://moriahjovan.com/mojo/" rel="nofollow">my blog</a> fits. I have an Amazon bookstore and it's right at the top of my left column, but I doubt anybody thinks to click on it because it's not obvious. I do link to whichever book I am reviewing. Sometimes that's Amazon, sometimes it's not. And yes, of course I'm going to <a href="http://b10mediaworx.com/" rel="nofollow">pimp my OWN book whenever I can because</a>, hell, that's why I started the blog. To build a "platform," you see. They say you need one of those, although I'm still not sure what that is or why I need one. Otherwise, I like clean sites with little visual clutter, and I think mine's starting to need some decluttering. Huh. I can’t figure out where my blog fits.
