I swear, it�s just like high school all over again

Two things I have noticed since Google bought Blogger:

1) I can no longer make any changes in my template. Not a hugely big deal, but there are some links I�d like to add over there & Bloogle won�t let me.
2) The banner ads now sorta match the content; for example, I�ve seen ads for Buster Keaton DVDs, rubber chickens, and chili powder, all of which I�ve written about at one time or another. For those of you just tuning in: yeah, that�s what this thing is all about � low comedy and hot food. (I can only guess that Glogger doesn�t take ads from breweries or indy record labels, or we�d have all the bases covered.) I am a little confused about a few of the banner ads I�ve seen here, for such things as odor-fighting devices and glue, but maybe I just forgot writing about them. Or maybe Booger (ew, I can see why they didn�t go with that one) is trying to tell me something.

And then there�s Southern Decadence 2003. I�m not sure why that one shows up so often. I don�t swing that way, myself, but perhaps it might be of use to some of you folks out there in Readerland. If so, have fun, be safe, and thank the good folks at Google/Blogger/Whatever when you get home.

Meanwhile, I�ll be here in Seattle, bein� all hetero & stuff. With Science Girl. Who, I might add, is a woman.

(Edit, 4/1/03 - I have wrongfully cast aspersions upon Blogger; I can indeed change my template, now. The blogging gods are just, yet fickle.)
