October's BlogThings

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence

You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

You Are 8: The Challenger

You're brave, impulsive, and gutsy - loving challenges.

You act first and think later. And you're not afraid to speak up.

You are confident, so much so that you can be a bit bossy at times.

Whether people like it or not, you always stand up for yourself.

What Number Are You?

Wal-Mart closes their Social Networking website.

It looks like Wal-Mart clearly did not read the August 23rd post at "What's Your Brand Mantra."

I honestly thought that they canned this earlier but no.

What were they thinking? Teens can be naive and stupid but not all the time. They saw a marketing harvester and acted accordingly.

Another...Huh?

Today's "huh?"comes from actress Kimberly McCullough's blog at her website: http://www.kimberlymccullough.com

(kimberlymccullough.net is the fansite that has been around since...forever)

I have loved her ever since she was a tot on General Hospital and have pretty much followed her througout her career. I am still there even though I hate the direction that her character, Dr. Robin Scorpio, takes on "General Hospital" at times.

While rooting around in her website, I came across this quote:

I can’t wait to come back here and take more photos of this quaint, charming town. In the mean time, I will leave you with a little bit of goodness...baby goodness. Nothing cheers me up like a good dose of wonderfully smelling baby feet.

I suppose I will have top take her word on that.

An old love revisited

Saturday night I spent a great time with a friend who reminded me that just hanging out can be fun. He brought up Invader Zim, a cartoon I was not familiar that was created by Jhonen Vasquez, a name I was very familiar. There was a time where I worshipped at the altar of "Jonny, the Homicidal Maniac." Not having cable cause me to miss out on Invader Zim, but it is available on DVD.

This friend also informed me that Mr. Vasquez has a blog on livejournal: http://chancrescolex.livejournal.com/

Read and...be translated.
