Besides that, I only blog cartoon images now. I found keeping a "diary" tiresome. Anyway, there are enough people typing shit already- and maintaining a "proper" blog- with links, good insights, frequently updated etc takes forever. Liz Spiers at Gawker is up to 6-8 hours a day now. I'd rather spend the time drawing orhughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09769169475123982358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004146.post-878925882003-01-23T02:53:00.000-08:002003-01-23T02:53:17.090-08:00Ummmm... I decided to keep my weblog on my my own website.

Online syndication is definitely my future. Getting other people to publish your work is such a nightmare, unless you're "commercial", which I am most definitely not.hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09769169475123982358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004146.post-872710022003-01-11T10:29:00.000-08:002003-01-11T10:31:42.000-08:00This is kind of old news, but I just stumbled upon it. Apparently last month my website was #24 in the Daypop Top 40.
Funny- I'm in about 10 times the number of blogs I was a month ago, and I'm not currently in the Top 40. I'm beginning to think their data-gathering methods are severely flawed.hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09769169475123982358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004146.post-872597622003-01-11T02:41:00.000-08:002003-01-18T02:24:02.000-08:00All my advertising friends are being killed at the moment. Oops! No, sorry, wait... they're already dead.
Used to be advertising was a good way for your average creative misfit to earn six-figures and generally stay out of trouble. No longer. Used to be when you got laid off you'd have a lousy 3 months of pavement-pounding before finding work again. Now it's... you've been out of work for 18 hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09769169475123982358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004146.post-872595032003-01-11T02:22:00.000-08:002003-01-11T02:34:55.000-08:00Well, the year has definitely begun, though from here you'd hardly guess it.
I'm in the UK, hanging out with the folks, waiting for a certain deal to be signed. It's actually quite a big deal, in both senses of the phrase.
The folks have a big house and they do a lot of entertaining. I seem to spend all my time lighting fires and doing dishes.
Planning on going back to NY hopefully by April.

Still, having said that, there's something "so '99" about hating Christmas. Holiday loathing has become so fashionable now- I hear it's all the rage in Willimansburgh. Just knowing that hipsters hate Xmas gives me enough reason to start liking it.
In the UK feelings towards Xmas aren't so ambivalent as Statesside. Here everybody hates it at makes no hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09769169475123982358noreply@blogger.com
