Gone, and Back, and Gone

A few weeks ago Krista shut down her blog, Oceanaria. I was sad and cried like a little Girlie-man.

And then it was hijacked by some gay porn site so that whenever anyone went looking for Krista we got molested by lesbians and back door boys. It was pretty rough.

But then she took her blog back and is now up and running once again! Hurray for Krista!

Life was good again.

Krista got 41 comments just from saying "I'm back." I don't get 41 comments for anything unless my pants are off and I'm posting the photo. If I were to shut down my blog and leave it to gay pornographers for a few weeks before returning there would be no one waiting there to comment at all (except Stacy the Peanut Queen, because she's been there since the beginning and I SO appreciate that.)

Now, on the same day that I discover Krista's return to blogdom, I find that Rachel Queen of Slackers has shut down. I am so sad. I loved her drive-by style of blogging. It reminded me of a certain magazine I wrote for in college called "Fred's Wonderful Newsletter."

Every story we wrote, every cartoon we drew, every photo we created, was done on the fly, and often under the influence of alcohol, lack of sleep, or heavy doses of allergy medication and Mountain Dew. It gave it a certain flavor that you couldn't imitate or fake.

[Or sell to anyone else apparently, as The National Post continually rejects my articles. ]

But people in college, living under the influence of these very same things, loved it.

They say Rachel had to shut her blog down for personal reasons and I realize that sometimes this happens. I hope I didn't drive Rachel off with my constant stalking and obscene phone calls at 4 a.m.

No, seriously, I am way too lazy to stalk her way off in D.C.-land and there is no way in hell she'd ever give me her phone number. Anyway, I have friends in the Secret Service who do it for me. I just call them up and ask for an update and they say, while watching her through binoculars, "she's writing something on her computer. I think she's blogging. Yes, yes, she's writing on her blog." And then I run to my computer and see what she wrote. Ah, what clandestine fun! And now it's over. And I am very sad.

So anyway, I'm happy to see that Krista and Oceanaria is back. And I'm really bummed that Rachel's Queen of Slackers is gone. I think I'll laugh with my left side and cry with my right. It's all a little convoluted and confusing right now.
