NOvember Returns: Holiday 2011 Edition
Well holy Hell, it’s already November. This year has flown by. Seems like it was just a few months or so ago that I was rapidly sinking into depression at the thought of having to deal with the Holidays from last year, let alone this year. At any rate, let’s pop our heads into the OMGJ Funtasmic Labs, and see what’s cooking inside. Besides meth.
-So hey the site looks different! Or unless you’re blind, it feels different? The reason for this is twofold: I wanted to get back to a site where you could see as many articles as possible on a page. In case you haven’t noticed, this site is CHOCK FULL of so many random articles and reviews that it’s damn hard to just point people to the right place. This way, you may find new things to read that you never knew existed. It’s like a grab bag full of millipedes!
Second, next year will be the “official” ten year anniversary of this site. I say official because this site actually burst into existence around 2000 or so. But I don’t really consider those first couple of years to be “functional” as a website. Or really even readable for that matter. 2002 is about the time when Amanda, Billy, and the other folks signed on to make this place recognizable for what it is. So to sort of get ready for that, we’ve returned to the old honeybee style, along with a layout that sticks very close to what the site used to look like. Just without looking like someones first attempt at Hot Dog Editor Pro. So get hype for next year! We probably still won’t write much!
-Speaking of trying to categorize the site, Amanda has been hard at work on properly tagging every article ever, so that we can finally add subcategories to the different sections. We are aware that much of the stuff we write is so random that it sort of “fits” under a certain thing, but is so broad of a category that it probably needs it’s own spot. Like say, when people want to look at movie reviews, that probably doesn’t include hentai reviews. That’s a simple example, though. In the coming weeks you’ll start to see it all make sense. Or Amanda will go mad and vanish from the Internet for weeks again.
-In other writer news, Jeremy P. is close to suicide as work bears down on him harder than ever. He is also dealing with a close to term pregnant wife. We wish him the best of luck with his new kiddo, and hope he is able to get back to writing soon.
-We received an offer to review a newish horror movie called CHOP or something. The description made it sound like the movie is absolutely terrible in every way. And since Jeremy P. is out right now, it appears Billy will have to sit through it. Hopefully this will not be a precursor to another month of depression. Look for that in the coming weeks.
Besides all of that, we’ll be sort of around this month. It’s the start of the Holidays, and it’s always a bit hectic. Though I’m sure we’ll find time to get more than a few things up.
So Happy Holidays, folks. I guess it’s not too early to start getting depressed about next year as well. It’ll be here before you know it.
It really seems as though 9 times out of 10 if you ask someone if they have any regrets in life they will tell you that they in fact do not. You get that a lot. I guess I can kind of see not having any regrets if you subscribe to the whole “everything happens for a reason” theory. If you think like that, then anything you did in the past (positive or negative) got you to where you are today. So basically if you are happy with your life currently then there is no need in regretting anything because it was all part of the “journey.”
Many of you (three of you) may have noticed last week that there was a morning when this old site was down. Surprise! It was just our annual happening, an OMGJ Tradition, the one where Jeremy forgets to pay some domain bill or something! Every year since the very beginning, he either forgets or cannot pay it. The past has seen instances of Sad Charity Events on the Forum where everyone pitches in a few cents here and there and we manage to scrape together just enough to go on for another year. Magically, we always forget by the following March.
