I empathise with you as an editor, John. Our editorial process at Xugo is similar, and things usually go through a couple of redrafts before posting. The worst is when you you read a published article and find that everybody managed to miss a stupid spelling error. >_>

Do most blogs not have editorial processes? Isn’t that the purpose of an editor in the first place?

In any case, my Sunday will consist of cleaning my room and my clothes and reading and writing and things and blah and stuff, etc.

very streamy of consciousness lol.

I’ll be attending yet another Thanksgiving dinner with about 21 family members.

Happy Canuckian Thanksgiving!

Today I am going to wander outside and absorb some of this unusual October sun. Then I’m going to come back and learn some C++ and work on my awesome casual game (titled “Action Fireman” — you know it’s gonna be a hit).

Then I’ll probably play some Dragon Quest 8. Because I’m totally sad.

@Phil Doherty: Hah! I was at a Canadian thanksgiving last night. I asked them how it differs from the American one and they said “because we gave smallpox to the natives”. I didn’t know where to look.

@AlexDJones: As far as I know, the title of “Editor” is given to most bloggers with the meaning “can publish without anyone checking it over”.

I already complain about the riff-raff. I made a formal complaint to the local tea rooms before when I felt that they had allowed standards to slip by letting a group of tourists in. Seriously. If posh is what you want then I’m your man. As it so happens I’m spending Monday night taking in Rigoletto at the Royal Opera House. Tonight I’m doing nowt.

Fnar, fnaar.

“If you see some retards on the site then we as a community need a counter…go crazy with this…they are classless…”
Right, you heard Wardrox, he wants a revolution. I’ll bring the sock full of coins, does anyone have a few spare beer bottles to convert to Molotovs? It’s ok, Chinatown Wars taught me how to make them.

Oh and I do agree on the voting system. We should have a button to like or dislike a comment so people can be like,”Hey! I voted! I made a difference!” without actually making a difference.

And finally, as the only person who entered the competition, I am better than you! I make picture! I am win! I ate a bug! No, I’m not doing this to incite hatred so that people go enter the competition to prove they are better than me! I am fnaaaaaaaaaar!

I’m playing stuff for upcoming reviews. Fnaar.

I say, good sir, whence do you buy your coffee? Very few places I’ve found in Manchester sell unground beans, and the ones that do either have a poor selection or are silly expensive.

I’ve also been reading Ancient Greek comedy for homework. Φνααααρ.

@stridechicken: My current beans are actually from London. Normally I use fairly standard organic fair trade beans.

I think all of us should pitch in a large amount of money, and then sponsor (force) Wardrox to write a slashfic about him and halfleft.

Think about it, we can call it “Dicks for Hits”.

I actually climbed a mountain this weekend. :) I got together with some friends to do a little backpacking trip over the weekend and it was quite lovely. The trees have all turned beautiful shades of red, yellow, and orange, and I got to spend time relaxing in nature with good company.

Now it’s back to reality, though, with lab reports and nutritional analyses to write. Unfortunate.

Since I’m in Canada I’m home for thanksgiving and was stood up by my extended family, which was rather nice.

Yess going for quality over quantity for readers is definitely the best approach.

1) I don’t like coffee either, but I don’t keep snakes.

2) Where did you get that big-fish-little-fish-cardboard-box shirt? xD

@Spleeny: The internet, many moons ago. When my mum first saw it she assumed it was some religious thing. Also, I’ve yet to meet an American who “gets” it without me explaining.
