I want to introduce this story with a little pre-story. I was eating brunch with my friend Nadine and talking about updating her site. She said at one point;

"I don't want any more of that grey colour on the box of action." (Nadine is francophone - I should add)

"What's a box of action? - you mean the content area?"

"yes"

..at which point Sienna, Nadines partner, and I get to laugh hysterically and act out some "Box of Action" type moves in the cafe.

...of course what makes this even funnier is that La boite (the box) in french is slang for an area of the female anatomy that is also related to a certain action.

Whatever, from here on in, I am referring to what I do as creating a "box of action" for my clients, it soooo sounds worth the money.

The real reason for this entry (and maybe I am just a naif) but there's this
site called blog shares fantasy blog share market I mean WTF, really. I thought human stupidity and boringness had a cap, but I was wrong. the stock market is a weird narrow terrifying measure of value at its best. We used to play stock market at camp and then try and roll pine needles in the fake money and smoke it - that's what a fake stock market is for. capiche? Jenn wants to know if ragging on blogshares raises your blogs share price or lower it? My blog is a collective farm if we want to give it a fake economic identity.

And Jenn just showed me a blog called Clusterfucknation which is where I will get all my political commentary in future purely on the basis of its title alone.
