Am I Blog Enough For You?

A few updates:

1. They let us go around 2 today. How sad is it that I used the fact that no one is around to catch up on work? Why can’t I work when other people are around?

2. My friend wouldn’t rebut my post on bookstores. She said that the topic was too serious to joke about and that I she won’t make my anti-bookstore screed funny. Or something like that.

3. I downloaded a great plugin that creates a Google SiteMap for this site. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. I just submitted it to Google, so we’ll see how long it takes for them to crawl me. Currently the query [site:blogenough.com] only gets the home page. This doesn’t look too good considering where I work and what I do.

4. I remembered something else about independent, locally-owned bookstores. I got a bunch of great records there at the one in Jackson. It took me a long time to go through everything but I found comedy albums: (Bob Newhart (a fellow INTP), Richard Pryor (with the quote “Git that cross out your pussy!”), Smothers Brothers (autographed, even), Woody Allen (rare double LP Nightclub Years) and some cool soul albums: (Delaney & Bonnie, Ike and Tina (the one with the watermelon), Joe Cocker (don’t laugh), Billy Preston (donated to the station), and others). All for $1 or $2 each. When I went to pay for them, the guy behind the counter said that someone had just been there who bought a whole bunch of records. So what I got was picked over. I asked if his name was Josh Davis, and he said he didnt’ remember.

4a. Also at that same bookstore I found a copy of Vengance, which was long, long out of print. This was about six months before the movie came out. That was great — something I couldn’t have done on Amazon.
