buy my government cheese!
after many a long long year of greeting xzackly.com viewers, my edit of edward gorey's gashlycrumb tinies "z is for zila" image is gone.
wait. no it isn't! here it is one last time:

but alas, that's it. the last remnant of the original xzackly site has been deleted. this time because i decided the main page needed to make me some frickin' money.
i made some business cards, put the web address on them, and am in process of posting some work-soliciting foo-dee-foo at xzackly.com. you can check it out if your interested. the look is from the cards that matt designed for me.

i like the style. it reminds me of something my grandfather would have done. sort of 40's panache, i hope.
also on the agenda is finally getting around to buying troublonia.com so i can keep this blog somewhat separate from the work-world. not that i'm deluded into thinking it's hidden at all, just hey, whatever. nine bucks at go daddy. why not?
then, i think, i can have a different favicon for both sites and not corrupt my work site with the little troublonia-nuclear hazard icon above. all these things i will figure out slowly and with much error and trials.
i don't actually have any government cheese. i'm sorry for lying to you.

Yoink! Just beat you to the go daddy and now you pay me $1M for the troublonia.com now. I tell ya, work's for suckers. And that's one funny looking telephone number. Where you from? Canada?

pffft.
i'm from troublonia.
here, a bare ass means hello and goodbye.
i am fascinated by the fact that you posted your true phone number--not like most people here where i am would understand international dialing enough to really call you, though, since the states=01 and that's all any of us needs to know.
the temptation to take one of my many schoolteacher-issued sharpies and head out to various local establishments, graffiti-ing 'for a good time, call...' and your number is very strong. but, i will resist. for now.
i do like the retro style very much, i must add.
