Crack Confusion

Much as it may embarrass me to do so, I have to bring up something serious that was recently brought to my attention. In the previous blog entry I described a blue fish AIM tongue smiley as looking like “a large quantity of crack was recently forced up its nasal tract.” But as Marina pointed out,

fly197: one does NOT snort crack! that's cocaine

I frankly don’t know anything about drugs and have no idea what crack and cocaine are like. For all I know they come in pink chewable tablets sold in childproof aspirin bottles in aisle 5 at CVS. Marina, on the other hand, I’m sure has years of personal first-hand experience with drugs of all kinds, so I’ll have to trust her here. I hereby make an official correction to my blog: the description of the fish smiley in the “Smileys” entry should read that the fish looked like “a large quantity of cocaine was recently forced up its nasal tract,” not that “a large quantity of crack was recently forced up its nasal tract.” And let me just say that whatever was forced up the nasal tract of the idiot who designed those terrifying animal smileys, I greatly appreciate the keen eyes of the readers that make this a better blog. If you ever fined even the most minutest mistakes in here please don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll be sure to fix them right away and make fun of you a lot about it.

Since I still have half a page left, I guess I’ll use it to tie up some loose ends. Michelle’s blogs are gone from the links section because she’s given up doing them. Part of this is my fault, and the other part is that Blogger seems to hold some sort of personal grudge against Michelle’s computer. The problems started when I offered to put links into Michelle’s blog. She gave me her password and we were all set, but when I logged into her name I found that I couldn’t get into her blogs. Michelle logged out to see what the problem was and when she logged back in, she could no longer get into her blogs, either. We emailed Blogger about it but since they have so many users it’s doubtful that they will ever reply. So Michelle made a new blog. But then after a while she couldn’t get into THAT, either, whereas I could. Basically I think Michelle’s computer pissed Blogger off at some point—maybe it had an affair with Blogger’s mom—and now Blogger is doling out revenge. Whatever happened, Michelle is ticked off and not doing blogs anymore. The links section looks awfully short and pathetic without Michelle’s blogs in there, and I hope that Michelle’s computer and Blogger sort out whatever trivial personal quarrels they had so that Michelle can start writing again.

On a happier note, Adam’s connection to Redace got fixed and his web page is now officially being updated again. I added a link to his site and I urge you all to take a look. In addition to having entries personally written by Adam in a blog-like fashion, the site has a huge collection of downloadable MIDI files and all of Adam’s widely heralded quote lists, plus other goodies. For those of you who have seen my computer, the background I have on it was taken from one of the numerous images Adam has on his site, way back in the day when it was still at Stargate and all the pictures were in a nice thumb-nailed section. Now they’re in a parent directory and you don’t see the picture until you actually click on it, but since Adam’s updating his site again maybe he’ll change that…(nudge nudge)
