I Was Removed!

Well, it was fun while it lasted. My SIM Hugh's Journal was removed from the links page on the official website. My traffic dropped from about 60 people a day to 2 or 3, and sometimes I think I'm all three visits. This is sad, because I actually like being popular.

I guess I could see their point. They only have so much room on their list, and new sites with lots of free custom downloads (skins, walls, floors, etc.) are available every day, so my little SIMS humor page had to go to make room for the "cool" sites. I did notice I wasn't the only one to go. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Over 1000 were exposed to my site (although VERY few of them looked at other pages on the site. I think they blew in and blew out, if you know what I mean. Well, if any of you have pages and want to link to any of mine, you are more than welcome to. Really.

Deep Thought of the Day

Are day-old Dunkin Munchkins better than no munchkins at all?

New Site to Visit

Wow, put this one at the top of your "to visit" list. The unbelievably cool dudes from Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) have regrouped to bring us one of the funniest websites in the known universe. Timmy Big Hands is my new favorite site. Well, after this one, of course.

Where else can you see cartoons created entirely from Corel clipart? I mean really, this is beautiful work, and for the most part, I'm horrifically jealous that I didn't think of it first. If nothing else, they may encourage me to do some site redesign and actually get a few updates done on a more timely basis. So who wins? YOU do!

Welcome, Boys of Summer

The Red Sox are back, baby! I have a feeling that Sports Illustrated is right and we will be at the top of the heap come September. And you can quote me on that even if they are slinking back to the clubhouse with their tales between their legs in October.

I also have a bet running with a fellow Top Five List contributor. A dollar a game for every game they have this year with the Minnesota Twins. We're talking potential big bucks. Like, seven whole dollars.

So far, I'm up three dollars to none, so keep your fingers crossed that their next series is another blowout in our favor. With that $7 I may be able to buy myself something really nice, like an egg salad sandwich or something.

The Sopranos Done Until 2001

I am so severely sad that there won't be any new episodes of HBO's The Sopranos until next spring. A whole year. I haven't been this hooked on a show since Twin Peaks.

I only started watching in February, when I ordered HBO as a Valentine's Present for my husband (we both REALLY wanted to be able to watch this show.) See how romantic I am? And now we're hooked. Every Sunday night we turn the lights down low, snuggle up on the couch, and watch the F-word fly. Boy oh boy, those Jersey Mafia guys really know how to curse. It takes me two days to get the language out of my system.

At least when and if they rerun the series or even just season 2, there will be shows we haven't seen before. Even if we already know what will happen to several characters. KnowwhatImean?
