Top 11 Ways Blogging is Like Sex

(via bbspot)

11. At first, you’re just blogging once every week or two, but it’s not long before you’re doing it a couple of times a day.

10. A lot of kids fool around with blogs in high school but the serious blogging doesn’t start until college.

9. People really only have one good entry at a time, but will often fake multiple entries because they think it makes their readers happy.

8. It hurts when you’ve blogged and the next day your readers pretend like it never happened.

7. You know better than to blog when you’re drunk, but it’s just more fun, even if you do it with topics you wouldn’t have touched when you were sober.

6. The day after you’ve blogged drunk, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do to your regular readers.

5. Men blog like they’ve got an audience, but women like to keep it intimate.

4. You have to vary your technique once in a while, otherwise your readers will lose interest and you’ll drift apart.

3. When you first start to blog, you don’t ever have any long term readers but all you can ever think about is blogging. After a while, you do find some regular readers, but then blogging becomes a chore and you start to feel guilty if it’s been a while.

2. Most people blog at night, in the privacy of their own homes, but there’s always some jackass strutting around bragging that he prefers to blog in the office at lunch or at the local park.

1. Everyone knows that if he ever did in fact blog in his office or in the park, he was alone and just blogging into his palm.

Phone Call


Its 11.54 PM on Sunday, and I just got a call from QoH. WTF? Who in their right mind calls people at midnight? Anyways, I didn’t answer the call just out of spite; plus I did not want to reward him for calling people at such ungodly hour.

A Backbone.. finally


An early email from QoH rung in the long weekend with a warrant to present myself at his office to join him this weekend to write 3 manuscripts. Mind you, none of them are either important or urgent. I sent him a single line email, saying no. It feels sooo good to finally grow a backbone.

Usefull Tool


For those of us stuck using Windows XP, and need more than 3 clicks to reach any file, a sweet little tool called “Launchy” might be the answer to our prayers. I have been using it for a week now, and now I dont know how I ever lived without it. Give it a try!

PS: Its open source too!

Weekend Update

Didn’t get as much rest this weekend as I had hoped to. All morning was spent with QoH troubleshooting his laptop. Afternoon was spent trying to teach QoH basic algebra. I kid you not. I did get to chill out a bit this evening, but I am not sure if my batteries are recharged enough to sustain another week. Maybe I will take a day off sometime midweek.

Commenting System

Thanks to Zelda for bringing the problem with the comment system to my attention. I have moved to a new “blogger approved” template, and hopefully it should fix the problems. If not, you know where to find me ;)

Things I had for last night’s dinner….

  1. 3 slices of pizza
  2. One can of diet coke
  3. One order of Fried rice from a Thai restaurant
  4. Black Sticky Rice for dessert
  5. One order of peach cobbler with ice cream
  6. 2 Nans from Indian restaurant
  7. 1 bowl of breakfast cereals

and life goes on…

Things have been pretty uneventful for a while now. I am keeping up with my research work and other random tasks QoH throws at me. I am on top of my TA work. Things are going smoothly, yet I am unhappy. Guess, I just expect too much out of life.
