Okay, the move has been made. Blog is now at http://monkeynotowl.com/ so update your bookmarks. :D I will edit the link for the New Orleans Noir review also.Edited to add: Layout is a work in progress, but I've realized I can't get a good feel for it until i have more reviews up.
:-D
Hey, I'm good as long as the monkey stays :D
That monkey is cute! :)I just commented on your New Orleans post, and the date/time stamp says that today is the 7th instead of the 6th !?!

ROFL I guess some silly site admin might have neglected to change the time zone in the wordpress settings... I'll go have a word with me about that. :D
Okay, that's done. But it doesn't affect comments retro-actively, so it looks like I replied to your comment before you posted it, Nyssa. :DI think once I have more reviews, I'm going to have the "recent" slider at the top be reviews only, and have other recent posts in a small text list widget, as they will be far less frequent. That way I don't have to sort out an image for non-reviews to make them look good in the slider.

Nice one! :D
I particularly like the "Friend or Foe" bit ;D
Also, I approved your comments, Doooooole. :P
I'd go to that party...

You know, it wasn't until after I posted on the blog that I thought, here we have two known alcoholics, and a bunch of others who go "life sucks, let's drink". I mean, the two alcoholics weren't at the party, but still... LOL
LOL!
Finished my 4th book of the year. I need to update the blog, etc but I am really not feeling it at the moment. :(

thanks :) Of course, with my reading speed being what it is these days, it'll be a week or more before I finish the next one so I've got time before I run into a backlog situation. :D
That was only four days. Plenty of time left on the book review or apocalypse clock.
LOL Apocalypse clock. :D Well, it is 13 hours till Valentine's Day in my time zone, so close enough, I guess.If I see another TV commercial for some stupid romantic bullshit I'm gonna scream.
I might be a bit bitter at the moment. Sorry.
*sigh*

PIck any holiday, any pseudo-holiday, any day at all and marketers have destroyed it or are plotting to destroy it.

By the time the actual holiday comes around you're already sick and tired of it.
Everyone is totally invited to my "Fuck this shit, it's Tuesday!" party. The party will be bare because spending no funds. So, no chasers, just liquor (cause we keep that stocked). No snacks but yall can totally read my book spines.
But don't touch!
I'm already celebrating "Fuck this shit, it's Tuesday!"-eve.

I'm in the process of moving the blog to a hosted version, rather than free. Everything is being moved, including comments, etc. so it'll just be a slight URL change. Those of you who already had an approved comment might need to have one approved again after the switch, but everything else should be about the same.
Except the look. I'm currently trying to settle on a theme. It ain't easy.
