Finally, the day I’ve been waiting for! I found and fell immediately in love with the Hobo Madeline Clutch. Unfortunately, this perfect piece retails for 115$, and I have reluctance with paying anything more than 40$ for things I know I’ll get over soon enough…so what is one to do? Ebay, naturally!
I’ve been bidding for the last three weeks to no avail, until last week, and today in the mail I got my dream bag!!
Since I know that Santi is out at the show, I found this little test and couldn’t help but liken myself to the lady he thinks is funny, but her face hurts my eyes and her voice hurts my ears. Too bad we have so much in common…I was hoping for a C. Good thing all you guys are here in spite of technorati!!! 🙂
Technorati places http://somegosoftly.com in the low authority group.
That makes you a D-List Blogger!
The Low Authority Group [D-List Bloggers]
(3-9 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
The average blog age (the number of days that the blog has been in existence) is about 228 days, which shows a real commitment to blogging. However, bloggers of this type average only 12 posts per month, meaning that their posting habits are generally dedicated but infrequent.
The Middle Authority Group [C-List Bloggers]
(10-99 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
This contrasts somewhat with the second group, which enjoys an average age not much older than the first at 260 days and which posts 50% more frequently than the first. There is a clear correlation between posting volume and Technorati authority ranking.
The High Authority Group [B-List Bloggers]
(100-499 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
The third group represents a decided shift in blog age while not blogging much more frequently than the last. In keeping with the theme of the maturation of the blogosphere, it seems evident that many of these bloggers were previously in category two and have grown in authority organically over time. In other words, sheer dedication pays off over time.
The Very High Authority Group [A-List Bloggers]
(500 or more blogs linking in the last 6 months)
In the final group we see what might be considered the blogging elite. This group, which represents more than 4,000 blogs, exhibits a radical shift in post frequency as well as blog age. Bloggers of this type have been at it longer – a year and a half on average – and post nearly twice a day, an increase in posting volume of over 100% from the previous group. Many of the blogs in this category, in fact, are about as old as Technorati and we’ve grown up together. Some of these are full-fledge professional enterprises that post many, many times per day and behave increasingly like our friends in the mainstream media. As has been widely reported, the impact of these bloggers on our cultures and democracies is increasingly dramatic.
UPDATE 23Sept07- Look at me – I’m moving up in the world!
That makes you a C-List Blogger!

#5Five Things I Did Last Night That I Bet You Didn’t:

Some people hate feet. I like feet. Well, my feet, and nice feet. As with my hands, which I was once told prove a sheer lack of physical labor in life (which I’m okay with) my feet are kept in the best shape possible. Both are frequently manicured. I think it’s important. I’m attentive to put my best feet forward, if you will, especially in summer and open toed shoes.
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME THAT RUNNING RUINS YOUR FEET?
My running and walking around the city has been impeded by the issues I’m having. Despite changing shoes and socks, and other tips, the more you’re on your feet…well, eew. I lost a nail, gross. I’ve got old and new overlapping blisters. Yuck. So I’m taking a break to cure my little piggys, and I’m stuck doing sit ups and wearing whatever hides whichever blemish is most notable.
And I’m depressed. Summer is for showing off pedicures, not bathing in ointments. And I’m not exactly a marathon runner yet, so who knows what that will look like. I guess at least you know you’re working hard if you’re trashing yourself.

There’s a party brewing in the building. Sounds fun, right? But what do you wear? What do you bring? How much do you drink? I’ve never lived in a building. And not one that had parties. To meet strangers. And, the median age in this place is 89, unless you’re gay. Then you’re hot, and rich, but not my type. At least that is a sign there will be good wine…
The building is getting busier and busier. That should also be good, but so far only means less parking, more people enjoying my roof, less room in the elevator, longer waiting for the elevator, and more people looking at me funny in the gym when I sing out loud. Oops.
So those will be the people I’m meeting. The ones that don’t talk in the elevator, the guy that parks in my spot – who I won’t be able to determine unless I go around asking people what they drive – which I’m considering!– etc. I’m bringing Two Buck Chuck.
I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.

It’s always a good idea to start your week off right. If ever there was a way, I think it would have to be watching things blow up in the microwave. And with
you don’t even have to clean up the mess.
The soap was my favorite. I had no idea.

Just when I thought I’d exhausted the weekends of running around to various summer fun…I really think Seattle has more of this stuff than anywhere.
I’ll be at either
or
The International District Festival.

All these to do’s on the “quatorze juillet“. Happy Bastille Day “Fête Nationale“!

#4Five Non Essential Items I Would Try to Bring to my Desert Island:
I probably wouldn’t survive long…
www.scuba-diving.co.za
There are too many things that we’ve done that I keep forgetting to tell you about. My little sportsac has a little notepad for me to remind myself of these things when they happen. I wonder where it is…I should really start using it.
When DW was in town we headed off to the EMP and SFM. For the price of one admission, you get into the Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum. Everyone in Seattle had told us that EMP was a waste, so we had skipped it so far. We were going to check out the Sci Fi stuff. Which is something I initially had zero interest in doing, to be honest. And then, going through the Museum was neat. Paul Allen owns half of it as his personal collection, so we know who the real cool kids are, but that’s fine. When you can’t fit Space Invaders costumes in YOUR home anymore, I think you should build a museum.
I learned a lot, which led to me reading my first real science fiction novel. I was amazed to learn about the social commentary and expression the media provides. Very interesting. Makes me happy I branched out.
As for the EMP, well, there was a lot of Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Heart (did you know that one?), Pearl Jam, Disney stuff. I was really excited to see the original sheet of lyrics to Burden in my Hand. That’s Soundgarden. We did mess around in the sound lab and watch people fake perform on the real stage. If there weren’t so many kids, I would have done it.
