Kiwi Ass Beating

Nov 06, 2001
last night i went to a writer's group meeting with ben and ani. we met up with ds hendler at lovejoys for a few drinks and writing discussion. ani beat my ass in pool. after that scene was played out we headed up to the "little city" coffee shop. we yapped nostalgic about old school geekiness, hair follicles, and ghosts. and then .. we plotted .. austin domination. muhahhahahhaha.

it was good.

natasha neglected to tell me that her dad was picking her up from school so i waited around for her for about a half hour. doh. i was all "grr". she appologized genuinely. she kissed my face. she rubbed my tummy. i can't compete with that. i just can't bear a grudge against that girl. i try. really, i do. ;)

ooh yeah, and she redesigned. go looky.

and in completely unrelated news: the weblog review is a big steamy pile of horseshit. the numeric scores that they assign to weblogs are completely meaningless because the review staff is so piss-poor (with the exception of a few reviewers). there is no consistency. it all falls on the luck of the draw. the quality of review ya get (as well as the weight of your score) depends entirely upon which reviewer chooses to review your site. and the reviewers there are sooooo bad (with a few exceptions). i have been ejected from my reviewer's position there for extremely weak justifications. i was the second most productive reviewer there last month too, producing around 20 reviews. the only respect for TWR that i have remaining is for the (few) quality reviewers there still churning out quality reviews in good faith. to those very few reviewers, hear this: no matter how good of a reviewer you are, and how many reviews you write, they will fuck you over in a blink of an eye. there is no loyalty and no appreciation. discovering fantastic sites like akacooties amd the mighty geek! have made this bitter pill a little easier to swallow. besides that factor, writing all those reviews was a giant waste of time. unless authors get a 5.0 they're gonna piss and moan and make personally defamatory attacks. yes, because they are fucking nuts.

this rant is over, and it's all pointless, and i'm not taking it so seriously anymore. i just need something else to take pride in.

besides my dashing looks.
