Blogs To Me: STFU. Also, Train.

Today I find that none of my comments are showing up on either Balloon Juice or on Matt Yglesias' blog. This happens from time to time on both, but rarely both at once.

I feel rejected.

I also feel like I got run over by a train. Which is partially true, I guess. Thanks to Mrs. Cleek's fine choice of high school classmates* , we got to spend a good part of last night and a slice of this morning watching and then hanging out with some of the guys from the band, Train. Good times, no sleeps.

I'm kindof ambivalent about Train's music, but I can't deny that they are a very entertaining live band (and apparently would be doubly-so, if I was a teen-age girl). I liked their songs a lot better live, than I do when I hear them on someone else's radio. And, that guy can really sing.

* - specifically Jerry, the guy who now plays guitar, keyboards, etc. for them when they're touring.

    I don’t see you much in the Balloon-Juice comments these days. I always thought you had interesting things to say.

    Although I still visit B-J frequently (mostly for the blogroll which is how I got here today), recently I am finding the comments there much less interesting and the posts either repetitive or stupid.

    I guess everything gets old eventually. For me the place peaked around 2007. As much as I found ThymeZone annoying, at least the guy had real ideas and knew how to articulate them.

    Anyway, keep up the good work here.
