Sprucing the goose


Now lookie here, I've gone and did the place up. Added a shoutbox! (just in case anyone wants a go at it) cause it looked kinda cool. I even considered putting a pacman game here. But that was kinda lame.

One thing about setting up a blog, is that you're spoiled for choice by the number of widgets and didgeridoos that you can lump on one page. My favourite source for all things to do with blogging at the moment is here. You have everything and anything you need, and hell, the depth and range is mind-boggling. Trust me...

Great, now time to surf around and drop by a blog or two... and talking about blogs, some of them are just pure gold. Creativity by the cartload. The best blogs are arguably feminine in nature, the ones that nearly allow you to see thru the windows of their souls. How vicarious can one be!

The bottom line is, I'm gonna try my best to distill this obsession with blogging, this desire to peek into other peoples' lives. A bit like my favourite piece of literature, Perfume by Patrick Suskind. I don't think it was meant to be filmed but hell, some bright spark went ahead with it anyway. I bet they've screwed it up bigtime.. tsk tsk... For heaven's sake, go read the book before popping down to the cinema will ya..

Got that sorted (sniff!!), will plug some more stuff next time... arrivederci..

i know la abg! i oso know now that: -

a) the song "Scentless Apprentice," from nirvana's In Utero album, was inspired by Perfume. tak sangka perfume was one of kurt cobain's favourite books.

b) rammstein's single "Du riechst so gut" is also said to be influenced by the novel.

c) moonspell's song "Herr Spiegelmann" also contains an excerpt from the book.
