Blog It
I'm a big fan of Laurence Simon's blog, This Blog is Full of Crap. In all the time that I've been reading TBIFOC, Simon has displayed an intuitive grasp of what most everyone else who blogs (including myself) only dimly fumbles toward on the best of days -- the effortless mix of the personal and the political, the rant with the rave, the sledgehammer soothed by the velvet caress. In other words, Laurence has achieved, with little fanfare and next to no overt pretensions, the perfect blog (with cats!).
It's not sparkly or flashy, it doesn't change its skin to suit the shifting seasons, it never bites its tongue, flatters its peers or lectures its readers, and best of all, TBIFOC never pulls its punches. Which is what makes Laurence, even on his off days, a must read -- because you know that, whenever you hit the TBIFOC channel on the remote, you'll always get a pure, unadulterated dose of . . . huh? What? You say that Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities has risen from his Internet grave and is back to blogging?
Well, then, fuck Laurence Simon -- go (no, RUN!) to Beautiful Atrocities for the best blog experience in, like, ever!
Jeff is back.
Sorry, Laurence. Ask the Prophet is now second on my list of daily reads. Can you ever forgive me?

I find it odd that I'm the one singing "I Will Survive" for some reason.

Jeff! You're back! Hooray!
The blogging world was losing its luster without Beautiful Atrocities around to spiff up the event. Simon was doing what he could, but the whole dang mess is simply too big for one man alone.
And that's a pic I swiped of a batch of Laurence's very own hand-made rolls right next to your braying camel. I'm nothing if not equal opportunity.
