Good thing my girlfriend didn’t have to return the engraved watch she got me that had today’s date on it!

Two events unceremoniously passed this week with hardly a mention…until now! First, November 2, 2007, was the 2 year anniversary of this blog. You can check out the first post here. Second, sometime a couple days ago, the blog had its 10,000th visitor. Not really much to get excited about, especially since this blog has been in limbo for the past half year or so. Also, compared to many websites, an average of 5,000 visits (non-unique to boot>who knows how many I’ve added myself) is not really a big deal at all. But this is my website and being the baseball fan that I am, I like milestone numbers.

It’s great that people still check in on the old blog. Especially all the July 2007 bar takers and also those who return time and again thanks to the major search engines spitting out my posts that involve the word “anal.” See here. I really need direction with this thing. I have a lot to say and my girlfriend would probably rather all the gibberish be spilled here as opposed to her overworked ears. Some themes that interest me are: scanning anything and everything I own that is in loose paper form, the television show How I Met Your Mother-”Suit Up!”, everything that needs fixing with the world starting with the “Oh, 8?” presidential candidates, and why everyone has a novel in the corner they can’t finish. Or some variation on a theme.

For now, I’m just happy to have checked out the counter to see the big 10k threshold crossed. What else is there to do with my time other than work and obsess about Bar Committee Claus’ naughty & nice list.

The only good thing about falling back to standard time is that you sort of have a burst of energy the first work day after the time change. I was early to work and felt I got a ton of stuff done despite the fact that it was a Monday (not that I wouldn’t normally work hard on a Monday…it just felt easier today). Otherwise, I hate doing the time change thing and having to walk out of the office after the sun has gone down everyday instead of just the long days. It’s such a psychological drag. I’d be thrilled if we always had light until 7-9pm as if it were summer all the time.

Because then it’d make up for the summer I lost this past May, June, and July.

Okay, I’ll say it. Bar. Bar bar barby bar bar bar!!!
