Kiss of Death?

Well, I am starting to wonder. This afternoon, I pimped Fading the Surface Noise. I'm not repeating the link here because I just read her entry that she's no longer maintaining the site. Well, damn. I hope it wasn't something I said or did. So, in her absence, I can offer up a link to This Fish Needs a Bicycle, another blog I adore.

Best friend and I think we're the kiss of death for restaurants. Almost a dozen restaurants and favorite little shops have closed in the months after we've "discovered" them. Jinx or coincidence? Intriguing question.

Seems whenever I really like something, like Unky Moods (gone for good) and Blogger Pets (and will those ever come back?), poof. And don't get me started on favorite TV shows. Sure, some go on for a long time, like Stargate SG-1 and Charmed. But what about Firefly, huh? Alien Nation? Even Farscape, killed too soon.

Meanwhile, I'm listening to the wind howl outside. We're on the 9th floor and there's nothing between us and Manhattan that's this tall. The wind is really whipping up from the west and smacking into our windows. Sounds like a blizzard, but the precipitation is gone, at least til Thanksgiving.

Starting over is tough. The old Creative Endeavors had 8 Bloglines subs. The new one has 2. But it looks spiffy and has photos and everything now. I hope folks find their way to it. I've posted new pics and have starting the long process of reposting. Until I get a paid Flickr account, I'm limited in my monthly uploads, a situation I hope to rectify by the end of the year.

As I said on The Write Stuff: I am reminded of why I don't usually do memes, like the describe me in one word one I posted the other day, that require other people to participate: so few do. Oh well. I guess I leave most people speechless. heh

Left a comment on a blog and had to type "yurtea" for the word verification. Doesn't it sound like it should be a word? I'd like a cup of yurtea to go with my yak and cheese sandwich.

Feeling:
