The news that we get here in these United States is often vastly different than what is reported elsewhere in the world. (Not that Europa doesn't have it's fair share of distractions...)
And so in an effort to put the 'World' back in www, glossolalia would like to introduce [echoplex]"Views From Around the World"[/echoplex]
Our man in Europe, mickstar, brought this little bit of tech-ish dirt to my attention. A UK spin on a US story, true, but isn't it nice to know that open Bill Gates distain is universal?
You may have noticed a lack of entries during the past month, dear readers. This was due to many things but there were two prevailing reasons.
One: During the recent military action in Iraq it only seemed fitting that commentary be directed towards that. And to be honest there were many many many other blogs that addressed the subject far better than we ever could've hoped to. We really felt we had nothing of importance to add. And while we considered the fact that during these sober times perhaps we could help lift spirits by continuing to highlight this wacky www, frankly we just weren't feeling it.
Two: Concurrent with the world upheaval, lovedoll was feeling her way through what might (in hindsight) now be descibed as a wartime romance. And much like the war, while initially it was shocking and (extremely) awesome, ultimately it ended up being nothing but a momentary yet devestating distraction. And such things can make a girl - whether made of latex or of fabric - bitter.
...more journalism than journal... is how we've liked to think of this blog. Up until now we've prefered to comment on the web that surrounds us rather than our personal lives. But now it seems that the door between these worlds has been kicked down.
So what does this mean to you our loyal readers? Well in the coming month glossolalia will be re-tooled. Miz sockmonkey will be doing the bulk of the commentary going forward as lovedoll tries (yet again) to work out just what the fuck it is she wants to do. Lovedoll entries will still pop up from time to time, but we imagine a journal of her adventures will be showing up on a separate site in the near future. Please stay tuned.
In the meantime, the monkey will carry forward the blog torch, there will be design changes here and there (just had a look at the site in IE6 and the damn stylesheets look terrible - sorry IE6 users!), but never fear, the changes shouldn't be too drastic and as always we still love to hear from YOU, our darling public, via email and IM.
