all ye faithful readers,

you will notice the blarf is looking much different. we at www.cj8.blogspot.com had a real scare yesterday--the blarf had a near-fatal aneurism in the sublateral template area while some routine link additions were being completed (by yours truly.) being unable to bring her back to life on my own, i immediately summoned mark in boston for an emergency lobotomy (to which his response was something like, "i f**king hate doing this shit for you...") he deftly sliced and diced the template which allowed us to take the blarf off of the respirator and get her breathing on her own again. (and it made him late for work, for christ's sake!)

unfortunately in the process, as in most labotomies, some things were lost (such as the ability to speak, or reliable bowel control, for example.) the wonderful blue hues we have come to love are now gone; lost in cyberspace forever. over the coming weeks, we will be slowly but surely be sexying up (is that a word?) the blarf once again. kinda like that episode of knight rider when kitt ends up in the pit of toxic waste and has to be rebuilt. yeah, like that.

anyway, i hope you enjoy the new look to the blarf.

your faithful contributor and editor,

Ben
