From the monthly archives: January 2011
I think we’re all caught up on the Bleat Premium stuff – which, I should note, you can get for any contribution. A buck! Two! Whatever you wish. There’s a new link on the sidebar that whisks you off to the Premium pages, so bookmark if you like. It’s Joe Ohio 1957 on Mondays, Bleatplus [...]
This is boring, so you might as well skip to the bottom for the updates. Sorry: nothing more uninteresting than the life of a guy who’s writing a book.
A reminder: if you donated at any level, your link is http://www.lileks.com/bleatpls11
If you donated at the $25 level, it’s the link above, plus http://lileks.com/joeohio57

I love getting mail that begins “Dear Fellow Soybean Farmers of North Dakota.” I am not one of those. I have some land on which soybeans are grown, and I suppose this entitles me to membership in the North Dakota Soybean Council. The newsletter gives you a glimpse into a particular industry, and gives you [...]
I have decided that it is not important if my play count for each song in iTunes is at least “1.” As I may have noted, I’ve been letting iTunes play all day and all night with the sound turned to zero, so it gives everything a playcount of “1.” Because I KNOW I’ve listenedto [...]
Housekeeping: doing clean-up on the codes-emails; have some old-style letters to answer. To repeat the URLS:
If you did not get your code – and I swear, I think I got them all, but have heard otherwise – email lileks – at- mac dot com with the subject [...]
. . . I forgot to include the URLs for the Premium sites in all the emails I spent Sunday night sending you. It’s the little details that trip you up. Well, you’ll find them at the end of this post. I thought I had this year’s roll-out down cold, perfect. Really. Gah. I [...]
NOTE: Most of the BleatPlus etc. logins & stuff should be in your mailbox by Monday.
NOTE: Whoever pulled up a van to a house around the corner, broke in, and spent two leisurely hours stripping every item of value should rot in hell. Unless you’re colorful characters who work for a crew on [...]
NOTE: forgot to post yesterday, so you’ve got what they call a “double shot” on classic rock stations.
The post after this one contains dolphins!
So if I say “I watched nearly all of ‘A Bug’s Life’ this morning before 10:30 AM” you might say:
Dude, employed?
You have a great job
Let me [...]
You’ll have to permit me a light entry today; the first day back is always . . . underwhelming. Back in the same slot, doing the same things, the same person you always were – it’s a bit of an anticlimax. And I’ve been fogged all day with a lack of sleep. Most of the [...]
Here’s something you don’t wake up to every day:
A day in transit, endless, tiresome: LA limbo. Up in the early AM on the ship, with that sense of get-up-get-out that accompanies the end of every voyage. The day before you leave you start to leave already; what had become your home turns [...]
