I would like to request that occasionally you talk about the food you eat, I’m very interested in food, which might be because I’m hungry, but whatever.

I tried to focus a bit more on food than I otherwise would’ve during the food festival entry because of this, and when I nibbled on some Guinea Pig a week or two ago, I took some extra pictures with this in mind.  Actually, that’s not true.  I was eating an animal that is served in such a way that it’s still kind of grimacing at you while you eat it, with tiny little fried paws locked in a perpetual “Dude, what the hell..?” gesture.  I was going to take plenty of pictures of it regardless.

But, it does bring up that I’m more than willing to focus on things people might find interesting that I might otherwise overlook.  At the very least, any questions people have keep me connected to the rest of the world, and might get me checking out new things.  Comments, from friends, family or strangers, make me feel all warm inside and more importantly, let me know people are actually reading this thing.

And feedback helps make the site better, whether it be an anal spelling correction or “It really sucks navigating around your site.”  For instance, the Photos section as it currently stands is godawful.  I’m using something called Gallery2 and despite seeing it play nicely with other blogs, I find it a tremendous pain in the ass.  There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off that bar on the left properly, and when I link to pictures in the Gallery, the blog entry ends up looking retarded.  All stuff for the to-do list.

For anyone out there actually reading this, thanks!  It’s a great way for me to stay connected, and the experiences so far have made for fun writing as well.

Later.
