The third birthday

liquidcross — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:01:43 +0000

Somehow it slipped my mind (I blame the pollen outside), but June 1 was this blog’s third birthday. Somehow, I’ve managed to keep writing posts that appeal to three or four readers. Two more years, and Text and Violence will have been around longer than the previous blog!

And just like last June, most searches that led here over the past year are are still from people looking for sexy Shaak Ti. Perverts.

I’ve updated this blog’s software to WordPress version 3.0. Since this a major software update, there may be some slow page loading at first as the database is upgraded. Other than that, please let me know if you run into any problems reading, commenting, et cetera. Thanks!

This is where readers’ priorities lie

Two years after its publication, “The sluttification of Shaak Ti” is still the most popular post on this blog, by a very wide margin. The top searches used to find this blog have been largely the same for the past two years, as well, featuring such gems as “shaak ti sexy,” “shaak ti sex,” and “shaak ti boobs.”

You people are sick.

Slowdown

If you’re noticing that updates have been more sporadic than usual, you’re not crazy: I’ve been running out of things to post about lately, and I’d rather post nothing at all than half-ass it. Wait: considering that I do that a lot anyway, I guess a more accurate term would be “quarter-ass it.”

I’m sure something will come along that will make me grumble, and eventually give rise to more frequent posts. Want to help? Comment with something that pisses you off, and if it’s also something that pisses me off, I might just be able to flesh it out into a full post. Everybody wins!

This has nothing to do with my usual ranting, but instead, just a bit of shameless self-promotion:

That’s my new blog, dedicated to all things Green Lantern. I figured I’d grumbled about the book here enough; I might as well spin it off into its own blog, where I can offer other writings as well. If you’re a fan, you’d do well to check it out.

One year later (not the shitty DC Comics event)

liquidcross — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:09:49 +0000

It’s been a year to the day since I launched Text and Violence. Surprisingly, I’ve found enough to complain about these past twelve months. For the time being, I’m going to continue posting as normal, but I may change things up in coming months. Or I may not. I really haven’t decided what to do yet; this was always meant to be an “experimental” blog, with no real sense of permanence. We shall see, but I just thought I’d give the three of you that read my ramblings a bit of a heads-up.

Coming up on nine

liquidcross — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:23:55 +0000

It’s been almost nine months since I launched this blog, and I surprisingly haven’t run out of things to be angry about. Maybe I’ll make it to a year?

Open season (don’t make me regret this)

liquidcross — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:21:48 +0000

The new year has brought with it, thus far, not too many things for me to be pissed off about. So I’m going to take the lazy American route, and leave some of my future topics in your hands, my dear readers. Leave me some comments below (or send me an email), and give me suggestions of things you’d like to see me fly off the handle about. You can even list what pisses you off; perhaps we’ve got something in common? (I’m sure you’re praying otherwise.)

Get writing! Become part of the process! Democracy now!

I just performed a rather hefty upgrade to this blog’s core software, so if you run into any glitches or other problems, please bring them to my attention.
