Realm: Popular Culture; Subrealm: Its insidious inevitability

[choco_frosh]

There are some things that I swore that I would never do.

Getting a weblog (why would I want one?) or a cell phone (there are too many of them anyway, landlines are fine, and cell phone towers are ugly) were near the top of the list.
But I'm currently working on getting a cell phone (why is a story in itself...), and as you can see, I've also jumped on the bandwagon and gotten a livejournal account.

I'll be going to NASCAR races and shoppping at Walmart next.

Avoid Wal-Mart at all costs. But welcome!

Don't worry ...

I will prevent you by any means necessary from shopping at Wal-Mart, German or otherwise.

Yeah, Wal-Mart is pretty awful, though I have shopped there before, and may well again if I need something not at the Big Y, because it's often the only game in town. Cellphones I still avoid.

Anyway, welcome; even if you decide a weblog is not useful, it's handy to have an account to keep tabs on your friends (for example, Tom and I are having a party in roughly two hours, to which you're invited even though you can't show up.)

:) If you bother to page back on my blog to the first entry, you'll see that I had a similar list of things I'd sworn I'd never do. Congratulations on your corruption, Josh.

I very much like the new blog! Make sure you and Grace both keep us well updated on all your German adventures, and don't forget that some Margaret icons here, (http://www.geocities.com/picklehead82/icons.htm) although I can understand if you never wanted to change that brilliant Sovay icon.
