On Getting Rid Of StuffI’m loving the wota garage sale I’m holding for the same reason I love it when I give away / throw out two-thirds of my comics every few years. (Which I’m also in the middle of doing, though the local library’s the main recipient of that.) It not only clears the clutter from my shelves, it also clears clutter in my mind.

Self-Criticism Session: May 2008This month was typical in that when I was on, I was on - a flurry of posts, some good momentum, I was pretty happy. When I’m off, though, it’s quite disappointing, no posts for over a week, I’m either taking care of other writing or Intl Wota. That said, the big picture has to be more about what I need to do for the future than what’s happened this past month.

New DistractionsThere’s now a Johnnysweeper to keep the Tsunkusweeper company, and I’ve also put up the first two AW Quizzes.
I’m pretty sure that most people who discover Ame Wota through the Distractions don’t care about the actual blog posts I write. Right now I have no real desire to change that, to figure out some way to convert the distracted to a regular readership. Instead, I’d just like to provide as wide a range of amusements as possible, as many different kinds of distractions as I can muster. So there’s a few more surprises waiting, some of which should amuse a few of you.

Another Senior MomentTsukiki of Shanimuni Paradise was asking for information about the Chinami-Bakanishi rumors from a while back. Since I enjoy her blog a great deal and almost never mention Chinami without alluding to that delightful non-scandal - seriously, look up her tag on this blog - I decided to share a link to the Sunday Blog Roundup from that time.

A Tried And True Method To Pass The Time…I’ve now included Tsunkusweeper to the Wota Distractions. It’s a variation on Minesweeper, but with H!P eyecandy. Because everything goes better with underage idols!

Intl Wota and the N.W.O. (New Wota Order), Part TwoI had a great deal of fun with the recent Intl Wota comment thread describing how we work and the selection process for being covered by the current Intl Wota crew. However, there’s a few more things worth mentioning that I’ll bring up here - mostly because it has less to do with Intl Wota as a whole and my own specific role there.

Self-Criticism Session: March 2008So, how did this first month with 3.0 go?

On Launching 3.0It’s barely six months since I launched 2.0 of American Wota. So why launch 3.0 now? Two reasons: I fell in love with a new theme, and I’m still trying to get on a regular schedule with this blog.
