Narcolepsy, Tats, and Finding the Feed

Monday, December 05, 2005 | comments (3)
On Saturday, Laundro got his tattoo. I went along and took some pics to document the event. They are on his site. Take a look. Since I still haven't gotten sign-off on an acceptable image to place upon my body, I sat on the bench for the tattoo festivities for now.

Later that evening, Cath and I saw the new Harry Potter movie. We both really enjoyed it. Though if you were watching me during the first 30 minutes, you wouldn't have known it. I suddenly found myself so exhausted, I nearly fell asleep. Strange how that happens. Narcolepsy, perhaps? It didn't last too long. I soon got a second wind. We walked home in sleet, which was fun. I love winter weather.

I was going to start Christmas shopping on Sunday, but that got down-graded to gift and card list-making. Hey, you've got to start somewhere. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching Denver lose to KC - ughh, payback is a bitch - and moving the rest of my sites to a new hosting provider. I have gotten sick of my old Web host because they haven't made one significant improvement in the last 3 years that I've been with them. Also, there have been more and more incidents involving unexplained downtime, and sometimes my mail stops working. On top of all that, their customer service has really been lacking. So most of my sites, including this one, have now been moved over to a new host, which I'm really happy with so far. Everything on this site seems to be working fine, except my RSS feed, which is strange since nothing has changed in it. The feed validates here and I'm able to view it using sites like newsgator. However, when I try to add it to my Google homepage, it tells me no feeds are found. Maybe it's a temporary glitch. Thoughts?

Now I'm eagerly awaiting the coming of snow. Yee-haw!

Yay! Thanks for coming out for support and documenting.

Go DC tat. I am all about it. And remember you gotta get a tattoo YOU (or YULE) like.

As for the feed problem, you probably need to add the rss tag to your main page and point google at that.

One way to relax after a Sunday afternoon herding leaves is to have a couple of beers and sit on the couch with your hand under your belt and watch some football and feel good and fine and strong--and downright brawny, damnit, like the guy on the paper towel rolls--for having worked hard and for having cuts on your hands and dirt under your nails and an easy sort of pain in your muscles.

The weird part wasn't that Honey, you know ... spoke. It was that she spoke with an English accent. It wasn't exactly a proper, "Received English" kind of English, but it wasn't quite an East End of London, Cockney type of thing, either. It reminded me of the Beatles. She had a sort of nasal thing going on. Like John.

Lately my taste for "short" has dwindled down to one-sentence powerhouses. They're short and sweet, but they really pack a punch. The great thing about these little text candies is they can be consumed in an instant, while you go about your daily routines. The other day, for instance, I was brushing my teeth and came across this little gem.
