THIS again

Was reading how Facebook's IPO continues to be disappointing for all involved and have to say that, if the "Stop Nick Eddy Relents" money doesn't roll in soon, I'm still going ahead with the Nick Eddy Relents IPO.  I mean, is Facebook any more relevant/revered/important than my [no, our - yours and mine and the world's] blog you are reading right now? I should think not.

Anyway, to make the IPO more $$$-friendly, please join as a follower.  If you read this all the time but aren't officially a follower, that's cute, but if we're all going to be richer than Zuckerberg (sp?) we'll have to work harder.  Together.

It's really happening

A correspeondent has acquired these for me. Thank gawd. Also, am just going to post the next several posts irrespective of timeline, have a list and need to get them up.

August 2011 is the month with most posts ever, btw! If you're lurking, join as a follower! You know, like I never, ever do on the million things I read on the internet.

Get the person in the next cube to join. I don't care if they read it.

Hey!

Do you read this thing all the time? I know you're out there, I can hear you breathing.

Follow! In advance of my IPO.

Someone remind me

to harass Chris Glass about what sort of camera I should buy. Have been using phone camera for this here organ, but obviously my "Walker Evans Meets Bruce Weber X 1,000,000" abilities demand a better lens-y picture thing. Camera. Whatever it's called. I heard rumors that M. Glass has a camera he just keeps in his pocket now and it's relatively low-tech. REMIND ME!

A follower lost!

I have lost 5% of my followers, apparently. Maybe fallout from the Gawker mess (?).

Anyway, I hope I didn't offend anyone. Plus I forget who you were! Godspeed.

Also, YOU should join as a follower if you read my droppings here at all...it would serve to uncrush my poor, broken spirit.

Plus, think of all the haha's!

PSB thing # 1

Sure, I can understand how some of you would be too shy to join as followers of the blog, despite the fact that the tentative praise I can infer is the only thing keeping me alive.

And, yes, it would be beyond pointless to think I could make money with my random nonsensical droppings, either on the off-chance someone were to read this organ and say "Hey! This guy's like Lester Bangs and Moss Hart had a baby!" and hire me to write pithy product descriptions, or by simply monetizing.

So, what can YOU do to banish these midnight thoughts that hover around the periphery of my conscience?

WELL, you can contact all your friends and break into your parents' houses and cut parking meter heads off all Cool Hand Luke-style, pool your ill-gotten fundage, and get me this little handwritten leather book wherein Neil Tennant has written lyrics to "It's a Sin," "Being Boring" and "Your Funny Uncle" [sigh!]. It's being auctioned for the Teenage Cancer Trust (probably my next band name), which, as we know, is the cause that got Suede back together.

The best part is, I don't really even WANT it, all that much.

I just think it's time you all showed your devotion.

?

Follow!

Do you think I'm doing this for my health?

If you read this electric pile of slop, why, then, why not add yourself as a follower?

No obligation; just that it will warm the cockles of my rapidly ossifying heart.

It's not like there will be monetizing, f'r chrissake!

Gizmos II

Also, what is a practical way to find old magazine articles, now that the Journal of Periodic Literature or whatever the hell it was called seems to be some sort of subscription service? Or is there some readily available thing like this? No, not Google, smartasses. I mean, say I want some old VF article, but don't know the name but I think it came out in 1998 (same day I thought of the front-room drinking fountain)...how can I search by topic? Or any magazine. New York Times Sunday, whatever.

A quandary. I'm sure there is a simple answer, I just don't know it.

I do this whole thing by myself with no interns and I, I -- [storms off]
