While viewing my counter stats, I found a site linking to me called East Colfax. I'm not quite sure what the point of that site is (except the photolog) but there was a link there to Streets of Pizza by Pizzaman. I love reading sites of pizza drivers. It's comforting to know that I wasn't the only one that put up with all sorts of shit doing that job. He linked to one of my favorite sites ever, Tip the Pizza Guy.com. I'm tempted to get one of those stickers to put on my new car, when I get it that is. That led me on a path of following other driver blogs. I'll have to compile a list someday. Interesting reads.

Well, I'm over $300 short of paying my bills this month. Between the higher cost of gas and making $280 less this March than I made last March for making dough (not to mention that I was also making cash delivering pizzas--I don't think buttmunch had cut my hours yet), I'm slightly screwed. We've got several theories at work as to why sales are sucking so bad. First, our advertising sucks (what little there is of it). Second, our owner raised the prices to be in line with all the major chains. Since our product (and service) isn't as good, people would rather order from them. Third, our carry-out business increased because why pay more and have to wait more when you can get it waaaay cheaper by coming in. Fourth, our area is becoming increasing non-English speaking and our manager refuses to hire anybody that speaks Spanish. Fifth, there is no hockey.

Good news is the screen printers finally called me back and I should be starting there full time in the next couple of weeks. Since I'll be more or less doubling my income (I can't quit pizza just yet), I'll be able to get my bills caught up and get the things I need to start my own business. And a newer car...I really need one of those.

I've got a lot of stuff brewing in my brain, but nothing I want to share here. I saw this meme at Snappy Hour and Glovebox Sandwiches recently, so that's all for today:

Wait—here’s more »

« All Done!

So, I get Foxtrot and Get Fuzzy delivered to my mailbox every day. Here's what I found:

FOXTROT by Bill Amend

GET FUZZY by Darby Conley


I also found this one:
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE by Stephan Pastis


Since I don't read the comics in the paper, it's kind of hard to see who all participated in this little prank. If anybody noticed any other cartoonists doing this, could you drop me a comment? Thanks!

Update 4/3/05: According to Bill Amend on his homepage, these were the only three strips in the gag.

…Rabbit, Rabbit!

I visited this Harry Potter Playwitch link I found over at So Very Posh. Very interesting Playgirl parody. I have one question: What is up with all the fan art and fan fiction that portrays all the male HP characters as gay? Especially Snape and Harry. It's disturbing, I tell you. I remember reading a fanfic over at Mugglenet once that had Harry and Draco as gay lovers. Too bizarre.

Speaking of Mugglenet, they had quite the humorous April Fool's Day prank. I clicked my bookmark and was greeted by this picture:


I was shocked because I thought Mugglenet did everything with Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling's blessings. I didn't even make the connection about an April Fool's prank since it is still March 31st here. LOL
