Blog changes are a comin'. Also, a case of Too Much Information.

I just found out that Blogger has a new way of doing things. For us to do these things, however, we have to start using Google accounts. So start looking out for that. I'll email the parties that have been blogging the past year or two: Lester, Jon, Paul, Jessie... I have many more in the current list, but I figure now is a good time to clean out those who have moved on to bigger and better things, like doing absolutely nothing whatsoever. If you are on the original list of authors, though, you can always climb back on board by replying to this post in a timely fashion, or by contacting me in some way. Non-violent methods of communication are preferred (like, hurling a brick through my window would be a bad example of a non-violent method).

Also, stop spam through providing links to false email addresses (mostly fake email addresses to known spamming sites). As some are aware, one method of acquiring email addresses is to use a spider to collect emails from links on websites. What if, however, instead of a real email address, a fake one is used instead? I like the idea. A lot. That's why I did it.

Finally, I'd like to tell you something I've learned this weekend: throwing up for the fourth time in one night is easier than the first three or any of the times after (I think it was a total of six or seven. I lost count). The reason is this: By the third time, you've already lost your lunch. It's pretty much water at this point. After the fourth time, two things are going wrong: 1) Your entire abdominal region feels like it got assaulted by some unholy cross between a Bowflex and Mike Tyson, and 2) Bile is very bitter.

Moral of the story: explosive decompression isn't just for jetliners, but for gastrointestinal systems as well.

poor shayne! what caused this sudden and unfortunate upheaval? a sudden bout of bulemia? i hope not...in any case, you're overdoing it! hope you can start eating and digesting normally again soon.

If it was bulimia, it was very much against my will. I'm thinking it was food poisoning (which is a misnomer, I found out), but I'm not sure. In any case, I'm mostly sure that I've gotten rid of the bug, in addition to anything else that may have been in my body.
