Hey, How Are You?

I hope things are well.  I've missed you...

Okay, so I'm sorry.  I know, I know... this has been unacceptable.  But, good things are coming.  This I promise you.

I'm not exactly a professional web designer, but I've been working really hard, and the plan is to re-launch my website on Monday, November 1st.  I think you will likey.  The new website address will be www.missalanny.com, but the blogs will still be set up in blogspot, which will allow for those of you who actually became followers here to use the same login and such for commenting... of which I hope to see MUCH more... and my regular posts - CotW, Top Ten and Ask Miss Alanny - will have their own blogspots, which means you won't have to dig as much when you want to find something... because we all know you think back fondly upon something you remember me saying and just HAVE to re-read it.  Or, maybe you just want to skip all of the rants about dog bathing.  What-evs.  Speaking of the random rants, I'm still going to post under missalannyus, and this is where things like the product reviews, the soon-to-come movie reviews, and my generous tales about the dumb stuff I encounter in life will be posted.

In cancellatory news, Gleekly Weekly is no more.  I tried to blog about the season premiere, and it just... didn't work out.  If you ever want to know how I felt about the newest episode, just ask.  And you can do that on my formspring!  To date, I thought the Premiere was good, the Britney episode was boss, the Grilled Cheesus episode was a downer, the one with the duets (and Artie and Brittany doing it!) was just strange, and this last one, the Rocky Horror one, could have been much better than it was.  I'm really disappointed with the songs so far this season.

Here is the part where I ask you for a favor and all but approx. 3 of you ignore me.  (Funny how those of you who never respond to anything I say here are the ones sending "What's up with the blog?!!?!" messages to me on facebook... but, I digress).  If I post something that you think is funny, or amusing, or even just well-written, or just has some sort of quality that would make you recommend it to a friend, PLEASE link to it on facebook or share it otherwise in whatever way you can.  While it is certainly true that I enjoy this, it is also true that it is a lot of work, and just in case you don't realize - I have made absolutely no money from this.  Not that your help in pimping it out equals me getting fat checks in the mail, but it could mean that my writing comes to the attention of someone who could bring it to the attention of someone who could, oh, I don't know... show a friend who has a second cousin who...
You get the point.  A guy started a Twitter page and posted nothing but quotes from his curmudgeonly old dad, and in less than a year had a book and a sitcom.  I mean, shit happens, my babies!

(Hey, who is excited about Conan?!?  I'm raising my f-ing hand!)

So, the t-shirt thing is still in the works.  If anyone I haven't talked to about it (which at this point includes getting your size/address) would like a missalanny.com t-shirt to wear loudly and proudly around town (hopefully) and in your facebook profile pic (obligatorily... don't forget that part), please let me know ASAP.  I'm not ordering many extras, but I can still fit a few more "street team" members in my budget ;)  I love you, btw.

Last but not least, I have an official facebook page for you to "like" and I'm hoping that those of you who can't figure out how to comment on here will take your business over there.  Please like Miss Alanny! For some reason I couldn't get it to accept the "dot com" part of the name, so please, don't be discouraged by how it seems like you are liking me, the person.  Hey, you guys get that "Miss Alanny" is a pun, right?  Like, miscellany?  And so my blog is called missalannyus, because it's miscellaneous?  What, did you have any better ideas?

I have to go.  I have more television to watch on Thursday nights than I can even handle.  Seriously, why is Thursday so notorious for blowing up a DVR?  But hey, we'll talk soon.  Goodnight ;)
