I Must Have Done It Wrong

I was reading Dilbert creator Scott Adams’ blog and he said Google Alerts tell him when people like me are talking about him (“Hi Scott!”). I have had Google Alerts turned on for about two years now, and seriously, the only thing it ever tells me is my reviewer rank on Amazon.com. Which isn’t all that great, by the way. Maybe I should review a couple of things, and try to make the reviews helpful while I’m at it.

Before any of you guys feels the need to point out that he’s an internationally famous, and might I add, beloved cartoonist, and I’m some slightly crazy woman who can’t quite keep up with the dishes while trying to become an internationally famous and beloved writer-photographer-interpretive dancer-Wii Champion.

Well, I’d write more about this, but I think it best if I head over to Amazon and review a couple of things. And then I’m going to play Virus2 for a while (http://www.rfshq.com/forum/games/virus2.swf). Please don’t blame me if you get hooked.

Boursin Cheese Kicks Butt

Today’s lunch: A turkey sandwich with boursin cheese, caramelized onions, tomato and leaf lettuce.

Anyone have a casket? Because I died and went to heaven.

I would have enjoyed it without the turkey, even. I love a boursin and tomato sandwich. Of course, caramelized onions put it over the top. There are only two ways I like to eat onions. Caramelized and in beer-battered rings. Never ever ever raw. But cooked onions (sauteed or deep fried) rule. And french onion soup counts because it is made with caramelized onions.

Sorry, had to find a drool bib just thinking about it.

Friday’s List of Jody’s Favorite Cheeses
American (sorry, I won’t lie)
Feta

Cheddar
Havarti
Mozzarella
Ricotta

Cream Cheese (Does this formally count as a cheese?)
Neufchatel

I’ll put up with a lot of the others – I like blue if it’s in a stuffed mushroom or salad dressing. Provolone is okay, but not a favorite. On of the few that I can honestly say I don’t like is Swiss, which bugs the heck out of Mr. Dump. I just don’t like it. I don’t like sourdough bread. Swiss cheese is the sourdough bread of cheese.

Idol Recommendations

Okay, a few weeks in and I am ready to give my twenty five cent view on Idol for the boys.

1. Hair matters, but only if it doesn’t. Chris Daughtry didn’t have any, and I loved him Chris Sligh has a lot, and I love him.
2. Change your name to Chris.
3. Don’t sing a Stevie Wonder or Freddie Mercury song unless you are a complete moron.

There you have it. Good luck, gentlemen!

Selling Myself to the Highest Bidder

I am on my own site a lot, and I tend to use my links to find stuff at Amazon because it’s right there. You know, I’m all about ease of use. What I realized is that Amazon dinged me on my commissions for all the times I clicked my own link to buy something. That’s not cool. Granted, in the old days, my readers used my links for EVERYTHING and one time I got a check for almost a hundred dollars. That certainly helped out with my hosting fees back in the day.

So instead of using that link when I’m buying stuff (and trust me, I buy a lot of stuff) I am looking to use someone else’s link to buy stuff. If you are an Amazon Associate, drop a comment with your link and I’ll check out your site. If you are already making money from advertising, be honest and mention that. I’ll share the love around, but I’d rather hit the little guys first, as I’m a little guy. I make ZERO money doing this, so I know what it’s like. And conversely, feel free to use my links when you are shopping. What are friends for?
