Subtle Glow

I started out cleaning up a bunch of comment spammers, which prompted me to check for a plugin to cut down on that (which I found and installed).  While I was wandering around the Wordpress site I thought I’d take a peek at any themes that I might be interested in, and as always there was a bit of messing with the theme once it was installed, which led to messing with photoshop, and eventually I decided I probably shouldn’t put off setting up Kiddo’s blog anymore.  I was supposed to have set it up by his birthday.

His birthday was almost three weeks ago, and I got the domain name well before that.  I just usually decide to play Toontown instead haven’t had time to work on it.
I started to link to his blog from here, but I figured I should probably let him know it’s up before I tell all of you.  That sort of makes sense don’t you think?

Then, as I was setting it up I figured I should go ahead and add my blog to his blogroll.  I had second thoughts at that point - for one he has already mentioned his website to his teacher (he knew what the www would be) and while I think it’s great that she could read HIS site, I was thinking there may be stuff here she doesn’t really want to know.  You know?

Uhhh, same goes for family as well.  Not that I wouldn’t tell them about this site, but I take a Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell approach.  If they find it, that’s fine but I’m not going to go pointing it out to them.  As far as I know they haven’t found it.

Speaking of family (and yes, I know this entry is dis-jointed and rambly.  So what?) I need to call my brother - a thought that has crossed my mind only about three dozen times over the past few weeks.  I think it has been months since I last got in touch with him.  Oh, and HELLO Brother: by the way I moved, and I don’t have that phone number anymore, so here is my new address and phone number and if you need to reach me at work well that has changed as well, so!  You know, we really need to stay in closer touch with each other.  In all fairness though, one of the last times I talked to him the opening to the conversation went a little like this:

Me: Hi, how’s it going?

Him: Pretty good.

Me: Cool, so what are you doing?

Him: Moving.

Me: Oh, did you guys find another apartment in Vegas?  (They had talked about moving)

Him: No, we’re in Utah now.

Me:  WTF?

Yeah.

I guess I’ll give him a call.

I’m not sure if I like the new theme or not - but I’ll give it a few days and see how I feel.
