New Chapters

So...regular readers may have noticed that I've got a lot going on at the moment, most of it firmly in the Not Good category (and I haven't even told you about my car accident yet). Those of you who have been around for a while have probably also noticed that I tend to get a bit emotional at times. I do not plan on changing this - it's kinda part of who I am. That said, though, I'm going to take a break from talking about relationship-type stuff and focus on other aspects of my life.

One of which is a new writing gig I have. And since it starts tomorrow, I thought I'd take this opportunity to clue you in. You see, there's this other blog. It's a very GOOD blog, and one of my daily stops in my fight against Taylorism (thanks, Birdmonster). The writer of this blog knits vases, sings songs about rattlesnakes to her kids, and now apparently has a giant penguin in her front yard. In short, this person is my kinda people. She also happens to be a fantastic writer, and a genuinely good person. I am, of course, referring to Fluid Pudding.

The gig? I will now be blogging on Fluid Pudding every Tuesday. Angela (the sole blogger behind the old Fluid Pudding) has Monday, Carroll has Wednesday, Emily has Thursday, and J. Chris Rock will be turning in a performance on Friday. The result? MORE HOBO. Don't say you weren't warned.

I'm a little nervous about it, because I'll have to hold my own in the company of a stable of great writers, and also because she gets much more traffic than I do. If I may make a TV show comparison, her ratings are like CSI: Miami and I pull down about the same number of people as the 2am showing of Hee-Haw. Hopefully it's a good match. If I hear crickets, though, I can always bust out the banjo and tell shitty jokes from the corn field.
