Okay, go ahead - call me a slacker. You wouldn't be the first. Anyway, I'm back from SF after an AMAZINGLY fun trip and am working on that new site with our pal, Dave. There are a few more finishing touches and then it's time for the unveiling! It'll be a lovely photo blog, along with pretty regularly posted rants on life. I'm sure you're waiting with baited breath...

My guess is, that if you're here, it's because you've either searched for bumpy cake (one blog about a weird cake name and you get hits for months...) or because of my friend, Davezilla. Well, I can actually blame the great Davezilla for this site as he's supposed to be helping me upgrade and get the new site off the ground. So, check back shortly for the new address.

The new and improved site will not only look incredibly cool and be incredibly entertaining, but it'll also have photos from my exploits, and a calendar listing for cool stuff going on around DeeTROIT. I promise - I'll be soon! No more bull!!

Wow, has it already been a month since I said the new page is "coming soon?" Well, no lie, it is. I'm working on it, and getting the domain name and all that good stuff. The new site will have The Social Calendar rolled into it, photo galleries and there will be probably be an "Opening Party" too. Sorry for the technical delays, but it's coming soon. And by soon, I mean before my trip to San Fran. really!

Due to annoying popular demand, and the fact that I'm riding a great creative wave lately, I'm planning to return to the whole blog scene. Not only that, but you Detroit area readers will remember the e-mail newsletter The Social Calendar, I mailed out weekly, detailing all the cool things to do in the Detroit metro area. Well, I've been harassed (downright nagged!) lately to get back on the horse and get that newsletter out again. Apparently, it was pretty damned helpful to a lot of Detroiters in getting their party on. So, in doing my part for the social scene of Detroit, The Social Calendar will be rolled into the new grrldog.com. Soon. I promise, sooon....

WWJE?

What'samatter, Pookie? New diet not working? Well, maybe you should try this one. It's the What Would Jesus Eat Diet.

WHEW!!!

It's been a crazy few weeks!! I went home (Philly) to visit my family for a couple of weeks and have been shooting for Car Design News at the Auto Show. My office moved while I was on vacation and I had to play catch up all last week. But, they also gave me a big raise in the interim, so I guess I can't complain!!

So, speaking of the Detroit Auto Show, I was there A LOT last week. The exhibits are all set up to attract your attention and dazzle your senses – and that’s EXACTLY what happened to a guy walking next to me. The floor levels switched and he wiped out. I know it’s not nice, but I couldn't help but laugh! I felt SO mean, but I just couldn’t stop as I helped him up from the floor. The more I tried not too, the funnier it got. I explained that the only reason I was laughing was because I’m usually the one who trips and falls, and had it not been for the keen eye of one of my colleagues earlier in the day, he’d be laughing at me right then!

He seemed to buy my story (which was true, by the way), but I still felt guilty for laughing. Why is it wrong to laugh at a person if they’re not hurt, but okay when it is labeled “slapstick” comedy?
