Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

I nearly had a complete panic attack just now, when I logged on to Blogger, and this blog wasn't listed on my "dashboard". I've currently got 12 blogs that I participate in - listings, reviews, news and diary pages for Comedy Lounge; news page for The Mighty Boosh; The Inadvertent Twin which I swear will one day return; my OU essays blog which I'm sure is breaking rules of OU but what the heck; the 100 things and About Me pages that are so informative for new readers; Commuterland that I stopped posting to ages and ages ago; and one other blog that I'm actually going to delete - it was going to be comedy reviews of a local club that myself and Mrs D regularly attend, but I've decided not to pursue that idea thanks to something that happened in the recent past.

I've been thinking recently that I'd be willing to pay to keep my blogs on line now - although I might trim down the sheer number that I keep, unless you get a discount on bulk posting - just to make sure that it doesn't disappear one day without warning. And I really, really thought it had gone, and it really, really scared me. Freaky. I mean, I'd just open a new one and keep going, but how to redirect everyone? Especially since recently you've all started giving me such stellar advice. I'm currently looking up the Chinese symbol for "I only fuck foreigners" so I can get that tattooed on the back of my neck, thanks to JC for that wonderful, inspiring idea.

But that did give me quite the scare. I had to calm down by going to stand outside and listening to vague thumping bass noise coming from the direction of the Phoenix Park, provided generously by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. And considering how far away we are from that park, it's quite an achievement.
