green glass and high tides

The comment I made about glass water bottles may have been the single smallest paragraph written in my epic update of all things TEDx, but it caught the eye of the company that did the bottles up – and they wrote a post about it!

Click the image to visit Fairware‘s blog. It’s actually really interesting – I learned stuff I didn’t know about emissions and supply chains – but I really love the fact that they took the time to address the concern I had and provide a thorough, awesome answer. I don’t have many opportunities to look for custom branded goods (yet – Delicious Juice Dot Thongs for my tenth bloggiversary, anyone?) – but if I ever find myself looking, I know exactly where I’ll go. Hooray for awesome customer awareness!

 

petard wedgie

I’ve been hoisted with my own petard!

Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, and with this post, I will have made 40 updates in November 2010. That’s more than one a day right through the entire month, so there will be no repeat of my humiliated e-failure from last year. I had even planned this update in advance, because I was NOT going to fuck up the count again and I wanted to go out with a bang.

Unfortunately, as I lay in bed last night thinking up the witty remarks to make on my topic of choice, I was struck with a sudden sense of deja vu: this seems really, really familiar. With a sense of dread, I went to my site and did a search for “virginity” – and sure enough, I blogged about this very topic in fucking APRIL.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the loss of my virginity, and I wanted to throw my hymen a little wake in remembrance of the sacrifice it made for the greater good. It would have been awesome: think streamers and confetti and tiny vaginal party hats; steamed clams and muscles to snack on. I might have invited a clown. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GREAT.

But no. Way back in April, a good 7 months before the actual date of the anniversary, I was struck with hilarity (as usual, in my own head) and came up with the idea of releasing a 20th anniversary edition DVD of my virginity:

the hidden easter eggs are still particularly terrifying

That’s all fine and good I suppose, but here we are on the ACTUAL DATE of the anniversary, and I’ve got nothing. I am so grumpy at April Kimli for stealing thunder from myself. You suck in April, me.

So yeah, I win at NaBloPoMo ’10, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST??!

Serious pouting over here.
