PaMaDoCoBloNaBloPoMoMo 2008, Day 14 (Part 2): Leannderthal makes pretty pictures
Leannderthal is a blog that makes me wish my name was Leann so I could name my own blog Leannderthal. This is all assuming that, as a Leann, and not as a Rachael, I would think of calling my blog Leannderthal before this particular Leann thought to call hers the same. And this is shaping up to involve more than a little uber-hypothetical time travel, which is a bit too much to ask of a Friday afternoon, so let's just drop it.... read more

Starting on Jan. 11, 2008, her 49th birthday, Kathy G. from Missouri decided that she was going to do one new thing every day. On top of that, she was going to blog about it. So NaBloPoMo has been a total breeze for her, I'm sure. (As for me, I am growing weary. PaMaDoCoBloNaBloPoMoMo is feeling about as long as its ludicrous acronym.)... read more

As a blog, Jarod and Liz is nice. As a couple, Jarod and Liz are nice. I'm not sure which grammatical convention to use here, but either way, these folks' blogness and their coupleness are one in the same: Each half of the duo gets a column on their website to fill with their own thoughts, links and photos, tagged "boythings" and "girlthings" respectively.... read more

Today, I scanned the "I"-named NaBloPoMo blogs hoping to find one called "I Am A Dude," because I realized last night that I've only PaMaDoCoBloNaBloPoMoMo'ed about lady bloggers. Finding no blog with that title, I decided to automatically disqualify all blogs with names involving the words "mom," "girl, "Mrs." and "goddess" from being considered for today's post, since all of those are pretty good signs that a non-male person is responsible for the content therein.... read more

Gretchen of Gretch-A-Sketch, today's "G"-named NaBloPoMo blog, is tackling her month o' posting with a familiar strategy: Using the alphabet a means of inspiration and a way to keep her on track. It seems to be working for her, and it's working for me, too, except when I almost forgot Friday. And when I almost forgot today. (Though if you're thinking I did forget yesterday, nope! I rounded up the top 7 worst movie birthdays ever over our List of the Day blog. Phew, right?)... read more

Today's the first day of PaMaDoCoBloNaBloPoMoMo that I almost completely forgot to blog. Yikes! Now I'm about to run out the door for a busy weekend, so here's today's brief and nearly forgotten look at an "F"-named blog.... read more

Belgianwaffle is chugging right along with its chronicle of every place the author's ever lived, but it's still not a food blog. And despite my earlier promise, my lunches have remained steadily pathetic. Guess not everything needs to change in one week, right? Still, I'm feeling like some more inspired meals may be in my future, because today I successfully stumbled upon an actual food blog in my perusing of NaBloPoMo's "E"-name blogs, one that I clicked on with the assumption that I was about to be disappointed, once again, by a site cleverly but irrelevantly named. Ezra Pound Cake,... read more

Dear Distractible Jane,Your blog entry today made me chuckle. I was too nervous to drink last night-- I had just one Strongbow (and some of Twain's curry chicken salad, which I was also too riled up to finish at the time, but which I've been intensely craving the picked-over remainders of all day)-- but I kind of regret not sharing your day-after regrets. There was just so much to celebrate! It would have been the best worst morning of my life. Instead, it was just one of best best mornings. Less hung-over but equally proud,-RachaelPS: For those just getting in on the PaMaDoCoBloNaBloPoMoMo action, here's some more information on the project.... read more

So! It's election day! Kind of a big deal, right? Right! Thusly, I tackled the “C” section of NaBloPoMo's November blog roll expecting a barrage of political chatter: Last-minute advocating on the behalf of beloved candidates, fervent ranting, harried tales of voting booth kerfuffles, or at least a bit of griping about how SNL's Presidential Bash last night was kinda super lame. But not one of the blogs I clicked through this morning even so much as mentioned “election day” or “voting” or “democratic process” or “averting the course of American history” or anything. Not nothin'. ... read more
