1.Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

Happy Friday! Thanks to everyone who came out to Café Mundi last night. Next Thursday is our last one before the northward move!

I’ve been putting together this here Gazette for almost a year now. It’s hard to believe, but the anniversary of Day One is coming up on August 1st. It’s, I’ve, We’ve come a long way, and I’m enjoying it more than ever. My goal is to have 1,000 daily visitors by the end of 2007, and I’m about halfway there.

You can help! Tell your friends that their collection of bookmarks and favorites is not complete without southpawjones.net. Tell them how regular it is, like the 2 am wake-up-and-pee routine of an octogenarian. It arrives like magic in the mid-morning of every weekday, right at the moment when you’re most likely to kill yourself using office supplies.

You get the idea. I went to the trouble of composing some promotional messages for you to share if you like. Here’s how they work: Copy/Paste the first emboldened line into the Subject of an e-mail, Copy/Paste the conclusion into the Body, then simply send it to all your friends and family. Here are seven to choose from:

2.Quotopia
Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

That’s different for everybody. You add up all your mortal sins, multiply that number by 50, then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add them together, and that’s your sentence. I figure i’m gonna have to do about 6,000 years before I get accepted into heaven. And 6,000 years is nothing in eternity terms. I could do that standing on my head. It’s like a couple of days here.
Paulie Walnuts, The Sopranos
