Posts from — April 2003

New entry up in the journal! Also older entries that I’d posted to my notify list only. Just navigate back from the current entries and you’ll find a couple of things from mid-April.

Sorry this is all so rushed but I’m leaving for the airport in 15 minutes. I’m going to Texas! Man, do I need a vacation.

Candyboots is up. This is the sister site to Pound and the permanent home of the Weight Watcher Whatchamacalit Cards.

Holy shit, and now I’m going to bed.

You know, I don’t quite remember what I was thinking when I decided not to disclose my last name on the site. But let me tell you that it’s very strange to be referred to in Variety as “a woman named Wendy.” Heh.

In case you care, I’m Wendy McClure.

Aieee!!!! Pound is mentioned in the lastest issue of Bitch magazine. Ever since they started running the Bitch List feature it’s been a secret aspiration of mine to be on it.

I linked to their web site but the list is in the print magazine, which can be found at lots of independent bookstores and some of the better chain stores. There’s been so much attention given to the you-know-whats lately that it’s nice to get a little recognition for what I originally set out to do with this site.

My best friend Michael has written an essay that appears in Salon today. Please go read it. I’m not sure how to describe it or what to say except that I remember the events he’s recounting all too well and it’s a strange feeling to be able to read about it. It’s a powerful piece and I’m glad he wrote it.

Um. Rob just emailed me and said the recipe card section has gotten 1.4 million hits since Monday.

The mirror site has its own mirror. Which means you can see into infinity. And it also means you should calm the hell down.

Moving along: just a reminder that the folks who sold me my computer last week are selling another one, too. Anyone want a Powermac G4 350 mhz with a big-ass monitor and loaded with OS X and MS Office and a bunch of Adobe stuff and a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time? Email me and I’ll hook you up.

In case anyone’s wondering, this url is a legitimate address for the recipe card section–nobody ganked my stuff or anything. Phule.net, which hosts the mirror, is changing servers, and Rob redirected the url temporarily.

This is the last thing I’ll say about my April Fool’s stuff: If it were suddenly March 31st again and I had a chance to do this over, I wouldn’t pull a prank about quitting the site.

But I would do something. And you’d totally fall for it because you’re such a dork.

Just kidding. You’re not.
