Random tidbits before my head explodes

Up to my eyeballs in feet and shoe erotica, amongst everything else. Fingers crossed that my vacation plans come through - what a freaking week. Fun stuff for sure but also crazy busy and stressful.

I like that Michael Malice's blog now says "My blog got fucked."

New York Press covers the Cuddle Party I attended. I'm going to the postponed singles Cuddle Party this Sunday.

Way after the fact, The New York Times covers Dontdatehimgirl.com. My favorite sentence (aside from my overall amusement/horror at the levels of, um, desperation of some of these online daters), reads:

People can invest time and emotion in a person who turns out to be a romantic fiction.

Is it me, or is this true ANY TIME YOU GO OUT WITH ANYONE? How are these sites doing anything but fuelling people's anger and desire for revenge, fostering suspicion, and overall casting a very negative pall over online dating? If the sentence quoted above is a news flash to you, then maybe you need to stop looking for a date and start looking inward. I have learned the very hard way that trust is something that has to be earned. Use google, use good judgment, use people skills, trial and error, but don't think that some website promising a false notion of sisterhood is going to be the key to your dating nirvana.

Here's my take on the site from last September. These newer incarnations I feel similarly about but haven't really checked out, I must say. But fyi, just cause you read it on the internets doesn't mean it's true.
