In the name of organization and boredom and heroism and Tuesday, I went through every blog in my subscription list. If the person’s site either didn’t load or hadn’t been updated in the last 3 months, I unfollowed. Of the 588 people I once followed here, 9 remain active. And of the 579 blogs I unsubscribed from, only about 10 still existed as blogs and not a “this no longer exists” message.

There are two types of change. The kind that is interesting and the kind that you can use for skee ball. The old Xanga had some nifty ways of easily finding other bloggers. Yes, in the last few years it would only let you find college-bound Asians for some reason, but at least people could be found.

Without those features, we few survivors are all running around blind — lost mice in a maze or rather a cemetery. Then again, perhaps green grass will grow around here again.

Speaking of grass, I learned that Peyote is not the same as marijuana. Thanks, books.
