Sorry for the light blogging this week, folks, but work has really been kicking my ass. It's going to get worse rather than better, so next week is likely to be even more devoid of meaningful posting.

As always, I'm very appreciative of the sites that've been linking here over the past week or so, particularly Liz over at Bella Rossa, who really seems to be mining a vein of pure gold with her recent skein of blogger interviews. Other patrons of the Goofish Arts who deserve an affectionate sponsor spank include PCL Linkdump, Gravity Lens, Coudal, that penguin-lovin' Cartoonist, mod*mom, Mediaburn, and Groovy Age of Horror.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go polish off that bottle of 2004 Cusumano Insolia that's sitting in my wine cellar, just taunting me with it's saucy-sweet notes of honey and melon.

Arrivederci!

Bella Rossa has posted part the eighth of her Interviews With Bloggers series and I'm this week's interviewee. She left out the part where I confess that I'm paranoid and have delusions of grandeur, but otherwise, it's a frank and brutal portrait of a sad little man who's clearly in the midst of a prolonged mid-life crisis.

Update: welcome to all of my new visitors from PCL, and many thanks to Sebastian for his generous linkage to the Goof yesterday. Put your feet up on my virtual coffee table and feel free to browse around the joint.

After reading through the interview again, I noticed that I inadvertently left out a pretty important piece of my pre-Goof blogging history, namely my stint as a Linkalog linkologist, Linkalog was one of the earliest community weblogs; it was run by M.Ace and other members of Lazlo Nibbles' Exotica mailing list. Lazlo was also a contributor to alt.cult-movies, a Usenet newsgroup where I used to hang out, once again proving that the Internets are all connected like a series of tubes.
