If you're reading this

I don't know how you found this blog. You probably want http://blog.pleasurefortheempire.com

Wait -- this is absurd

OK, so I made one little error. I'm all about correcting it right now.

This blog is my "personal" blog. You can get to it by either continuing to go to http://empiricalpleasures.com or http://blog.pleasurefortheempire.com

Duh. Why did I create three new blogs? That was unnecessary. Unneeded. Redundant. I need three blogs in total. I created two new ones. And you just stay on this one for the pictures of cats and whatever I read on Gawker or whatever. Oh, and rants about theater.

Guitars, music, and Tyrannosaurus Mouse? That's right over here.
Movie making, Pandora Machine, and such? Get thee to a Pandoramachinery.

Organized thoughts

Blogging nominally organizes my thoughts.

But I don't have particularly organized thoughts about cats.

They're just not that organizable.

Meydl is a supremely annoying kitten. Adorable as all get out. But really, she's the kind of kitten who, when you lie down to sleep, will come up behind the bed and start batting at your hair. And so of course when you are finally up and getting ready to go, she curls up in a ball on the nearest black piece of clothing to fall asleep.

Me, with my horrible, sick, and twisted revenge fantasies, I can't help but then pick her up and snorfle her tummy, waking her up. "Oh, does this bother you?" I say. And snorfle her again.

Setting her back down on my dad's black dinner jacket from whence she came, I took this picture.

Googleblag

Now that I'm doing the three-blogs-on-blogger thing, I'm still a bit concerned about being married to Google. That Google is a two-timer (just look what she did with Wave). But I bought 5 more gigabytes of space so hopefully my images will stay intact.

I'm a bit concerned though because Blogger Image Upload still tells me I'm using 75% of my available space.

And I have to update Google Analytics to follow all three blogs separately.

The thing I'm not afraid of is under-blogging. I can take care of writing too much stuff on three different blogs, thank you very much.

Whoa!

Whoa! This blog is ugly looking. It might just end up looking like the "Empirical Pleasures" blog but right now. Whoa...

I'm gonna make some breakfast. There -- it's all much prettier.

Whew.
