A while ago, I used to post every weekday. Little ditties and random whatevers and pictures of my dog. I still post pictures of my dog and other such things, but now its three times a week. MWF. Well, todays Friday, and its well past lunch and I haven’t posted yet.

Yeah . . .

I used have hundreds of posts scheduled, ready to go WEEKS before they came up. But then my life became a little less dramatic. And I took a step back from posting about all the super intimate ‘the universe just taught me a lesson’ stuff. And then I stopped posting how I felt about the ex, and a little bit less about the boys I was seeing, and the messed up adventures I was having.

In short, I’m out of postable content.

I don’t even have a picture of me in a whoopie cushion costume for you.

Would you be interested in my day? Shall I ramble a bit in attempt to come up with some content?

Today, then:

It’s raining, and its dark and grey and miserable. I’m at work, sitting in an open plan office with two online forms to get out. They’re almost done, I’m just struggling with the barcode validation because I don’t get how the Broker Services work with our standard product. I’m a bit over today, and a bit apprehensive that I’m not going to get to push these forms live before I’m meant to be meeting people for drinks, and a dinner, and then a film festival movie. I’m pretty sure I’m forgoing the drinks. I’d really like to NOT forgo the dinner. And I’m NOT missing the movie.

I’m glad its almost the weekend. I’m halfway through a book which I didn’t think I’d like (The Pillars of the Earth) but at lunch I snuck out to my car to read it, its that good. I’m waiting to hear how the ‘Meeting of Doom’ went, and trying to figure out how much I can play around at the bar this weekend. Also trying to figure out if I can coax The Fourth Quarter into a spontaneous something or not, and if I can find the time to do so.

Is that enough of a postcard of today? And you, what are you doing today?

Wow, that good, huh? How about this, then: heres a few random things that I found on the interwebs. Because, yes. This ‘out of content’ post couldn’t get any worse’.

1. datingbrian.com – a 23 year old guy gets out of a long term relationship, and moves to New York. He then puts his dating life in the hands of THE INTERNET, and goes on 30 dates in 30 days.

2. departmentofdoing.net – The Department of Doing, ha! I <3 these guys (one of which is Bunny, actually). They are driving a jeep from the London to Mongolia, because they are mad and crazy and brilliant. Also, between the three of them, their blog posts have been pretty hilarious.

3. Because random apps that make pretty noises and waste a lot of time is what the internet is about, right?

4. informationisbeautiful.net – because pretty infographics do the same thing, but make you feel smart at the same time.

5. And if you’re not feeling particularly smart, and just want to laugh at some funny photos, this is for you.

6. For more giggles: stuffnoonetoldme.blogspot.com. @Emilynz saw this, and then raised www.dearcoketalk.com. That was a poker reference, which failed. I’m not very good at poker. (PS. This counts as two).

8. This made me laugh, and I’m not even a Star Wars fan (which honestly, bugs some of my friends no end. I’ve tried to watch it a billion times, but always ALWAYS I end up sleeping through it).

Okay, is 8 enough? I think eights enough. So now you: what are you doing? What are you up to? What links are you laughing at right now?

    I like the title of this – so many “uber bloggers” tell you you have to have a schedule if you’re going to be a good blogger and I used to have posts scheduled way ahead of time on set dates etc. but these days I have less time for writing because I’m too busy out DOING, and it’s not the end of the world if my readership goes down because I don’t post as often. You shouldn’t have to have a schedule if you don’t feel like writing that day. Thanks for all the linky goodness… just what I needed on a Friday morning :)

    @Emily Jane – Agreed! The problem is much less time, and much less postable content. Maybe I’ll give in to temptation and just post openly about my drama again :P Cheers for your comment, hey. And glad the linky goodness made your morning more pleasant! :) – elly
