And here… we… go!
So we are tentatively open for business here at the Blog section… The layout is still in flux so things are going to switch around a little bit as I get used to this platform, but better that than hanging out with a placeholder while I tweak.
So some stuff’s gonna be ugly for a while. Let’s move beyond that, shall we?
What to expect here? Good question. A little bit of what’s on my mind — politics, rants, what I’m up to, who’s pissing me off lately, and just a bunch of general hoo-hah, as Pacino would say. Will this provide interesting? Who knows; time will tell. I’ve done a little bit o’ blogging in the past, but that was more of an online serial novel/satire than it was general “what’s up” blogging.
But let’s be honest; the title bar at the top of the site would have looked boring with just Movies, Music, and Email, now wouldn’t it? And since I don’t have a ton of pictures (that’s what Flickr is for anyway), a blog just makes sense, now doesn’t it?
So, welcome to SkinMechanic.com. Kick your feet up. Stay a while. Feel free to comment along the way. I’ll provide something worth discussing or arguing about at some point.
That, I can promise.

I believe in the Skin Mechanic!!! Ok, so I don’t really know how my belief, or lack there of, in a fictional moniker has any relevance here, but there’s nothing to comment on yet, so I’m vamping. Deal with it. PC77
Well, as a huge fan of your serial novel/satire blogging, I’ll be checking in often!
Oh, and future commenters, who do you have to thank for urging our host to do away with compulsory registration with WordPress? Me, that’s who!
I don’t think anybody really read the site in the 1 minute between your posts, so in all likelihood, they didn’t really notice a difference.
But thanks for pointing out the registration woes. Fucker.
Well, in the future, when commenters think, “I want to respond to this post, and I’m really glad I don’t have to register with some site and do that thing where you go into your email account to verify the registration, then you have to get back to the site you wanted to comment on, after changing the wacky password they arbitrarily assign you. And I’m grateful that I don’t have to do that…who shall I thank?” They can thank ME.
Nice to see all your projects coming together in one place. Will definitely be checking back from time to time.
And…uh…thanks for not making us register? Didn’t seem like it would have been that big of deal to start calling each other “fucker” on the first day. Jeesh. lol
Oh come on Laura — it’s never too early to start calling each other Fucker.
Besides. It was a “fucker” that was meant with love.
