Frankly I'm with the guy who was interviewed and our news anchor, Clay. I just hope they're friendly aliens. I hope they're Vulcan ... and not Romulan! Heck, I'll take Klingon over Romulan!

10 years ago: flaky but with my heart in the right place. Now? A lot less flaky, heart still in the right place. Ten years ago my BFF and I had a falling out and only just started talking to each other again about a year or so ago. If that tells you anything, lol.

... and I just got transported to TypePad land rather surreptitiously. But it's not a bad thing.
I have to go to bed now. Just watched this awful anime called Gantz. I hope I never have to watch it ever again. I can handle gore and violence and nudity but the message and tone of it is so negative and hopeless and pathetic. Polar opposite of Naruto. I like other anime besides Naruto, it's just that Naruto is the best show, anime or otherwise, that I've ever seen. I just really hate shows that are nothing but baseless glamorization of the adolescent mentality. I just don't see the point of being violent and vulgar just for the sake of being violent and vulgar. I need something deeper; something with a good message, like Naruto. And the message of Naruto is not an easy one either.
Anyhoo. I sincerely wish I did not have to work tomorrow. I wish I had the heart to call out sick tomorrow, I REALLY do!
G'night. I think I might like my new blog home. :)

Goodbye Vox. :(
Although I can't say I made good use of this service I always loved this blog and loved to haunt it about once or twice a year. But that is not enough to keep a blog service going, although I know there are others who must be totally stumped over this new wrinkle.
End of an era. It's too bad, this was a lovely blog and I will miss it. :'''(

I don't know why I don't post here more often. I love this blog; I love the friends I've made here. I love the interface, I love the functionality of it. I love the name - Vox! What's not to love about a name like that!
It's this whole adult-thing - it often usually robs me of extra time. Among other things. Also my dear husband has his own ideas of how I should conduct my blogging habits. He believe I should focus on only one, and if gaining readership is my goal, then he is right.
But the truth is I just simply enjoy the variety that all the different blog services I've signed up for give me. I like the different ambience and virtual environments they give me. I don't think I'd like a blog that lets me switch between formats; that would be too confusing and probably not very pragmatic from a web-designer's viewpoint. It's like having different rooms in a house - I go to LiveJournal for one thing, Blogger for another. WordPress for yet another. I also have a Tumblr. which I don't update hardly at all. And here I am at Vox now. But I love them all! I've invested all of them with some piece of me ... different pieces of me from different parts of my life.
Eck. Work is dragging me away. Again. The adult-thing is dragging me away, help ... help!

Yeah, it's true - I haven't shown my Vox blog much love in way, way, way too long. I got distracted by so many other things, not the least of which being well, ... other blogs, lol. I think the reason I hold onto this blog is not so much for posting my stuff but reading those in my neighborhood.
However I think I may have to rediscover this here blog site, see what Vox has to offer these days. I never stopped loving Vox; I only stopped posting to it. Actually, one of the emails Vox team sent out recently made me bookmark it because the idea they put in my head was so intriguing: it was about posting comments. I wish all my blog resources would post an article like that! Vox's article was right on the money - getting comments is a lot like getting something in the mail.
I found this very insightful from that article dated August 2009:
"After all, blogging isn’t just about speaking your mind; it’s about joining a conversation, reaching out to new people and exposing yourself to new ideas and cultures. When you read a smart, funny or engaging blog post, there are a lot of different reason to leave a comment: to learn, to convince, to reinforce, or just to be part of a community."
So here's to rediscovering the blogosphere that is Vox!

What's the best April Fools' Day prank you've ever had pulled on you?
Courtesy of Team Vox.
Nice. Good one! You certainly did 'get' me, hee hee!
This whole day has been a series of really great April Fools' pranks, and this one is no exception!
When I came in to work today, for example, I went to look at the schedule like I always do, to see what show I would be doing, to see who called out, and just generally to see what's going on. And I see people down to do jobs they don't ordinarily do like, trainees doing director jobs and directors doing chyron or camera, and our boss was even down to do prompter. It was great, they totally got me! Got a lot of us, hee hee! Good stuff. :)

Unscrupulous was the thought that ran thru mind, riding the bus. Different people. Eyes all around. Motion sickness...
