…that the monthly archive thingie wasn’t updating properly? I just went to use it, and discovered that “July 2008” wasn’t showing up in the dropdown. The index for this month exists, it’s just that a link wasn’t appearing on the menu. Does this mean that no one is using those monthly archives, or that people … more…
UPDATE: The ShareThis widget seemed to be slowing down the site for people other than me, so I’ve switched to trying out AddThis, which unfortunately does not have an email feature, but the site-slowdown has disappeared with the removal of ShareThis, so that’s a good thing. The experiment continues. You may have noticed the new … more…
Another standard email I receive at least several times a week starts out along these lines: “I don’t know if you’ve seen [insert name of current hot movie here]…” I make no secret of what movies I have seen. Everything I’ve seen gets listed and graded — with a green, yellow, or red light — … more…

Been goofing around with the setup here again. Biggest change: the landing page is gone. It was sort of redundant anyway, and I think it was having a negative impact on my Google ranking because it was pretty much content free, except for all the links (Google apparently doesn’t like that). So it’s gone. All … more…
Starz loves me, Lindsay Lohan hates me, and I get seen on Defamer and Cinematical. Life is good. (My review of I Know Who Killed Me, if you must…) (Technorati tags: I Know Who Killed Me, Lindsay Lohan, Starz)
Ooo, didja see that “crossposted at MaryAnnJohanson.com” business at the end of this post? Been meaning to tell ya all week: MaryAnnJohanson.com is up and running. What does that mean? Well, for one thing, it means my long-neglected blog Geek Philosophy is no more… though all the postings from there can be found at MaryAnnJohanson.com … more…
…and wasting time writing Doctor Who fanfic. Just posted the third installment of my latest opus. I must confess that part of why I’ve been so consumed with writing this tale is that I forgot how much I love writing fiction. This endeavor has really reminded me what I’ve been missing during the break of … more…
