Random stuff and 'everyone loves a plinky'.

So I was clicking the "next blog" button here on blogger which is designed to take one to a random blog. It works, I'm not disputing that, but it's too random, in the sense that it doesn't discriminate by language. Turns out there's a lot of Spanish bloggers about and I don't hables espanol, or whatever. So that got boring faster than Carwash Tycoon. No wait, I lie. Nothing is that boring.
But at the same time I am so happy to see my random readers turning up one by one, without me having to go drag them here kicking and screaming with sharp objects embedded in them so I really wanted to provide something of substance.

And then I stumbled across Plinky.com. I say stumbled... Blogger recommended it so it was more a case of being nudged in that direction. Anywho, it's kinda like the 'answers' deal we're all oh so familiar now with yahoo and google prolly being the most widely known. You sign up and random questions are posted which you attempt to answer, but in the case of Plinky, it's more generic questions where there is no right or wrong answer, but opinion. It's like crossing the 'answers' system with a forum I suppose. But I was looking around and thought, hey, I don't need to sign up for this because I'm quite lazy and have enough sites to visit as it is, but these are interesting things that I can blog about. :D Cher-ching!

Then I read a bit further and started thinking. Turns out it was far less interesting than I first thought. Seems people are kinda boring. So I thought, maybe I'd ridicule some samples?

"List any magazine you read".

Seriously, like anyone cares what magazines I read.

"Have you ever gone a day without your cell phone?"

O_O How sad is that? I'm lucky if I remember to plug my cell phone in to charge every so often. I haven't called anyone for months.

"Describe your favourite room."

WTF?

That's about where I got bored and gave up. I know that no matter what I tend to write about people take at least some interest in it but I think even I would struggle to hold your attention whilst describing a room.

Oh no wait... :D Actually, I always wanted Mad Murdoch's cell from the A-team CYOA books. It had a velcro ceiling...and a velcro suit. ^^ Yeah ok so a fully velcroed room, that's what I'm talking about.

"Name three songs you could be convinced to sing at a Karaoke bar"

Anything off Drowning Pool's Sinner album. I can't sing and yet, I think I can mimic that reasonably well. Or at least better than any other songs.

I got bored there and closed the Plinky page. But it got me thinking, why is it that no one ever actually asks me interesting questions? :S So I'd like to make it known that I will try to answer any question posed by my readers. :P Just so you're aware.

I dunno how long this is now. Kinda hard to judge what with blogs in general getting notably thinner. I blame CSS. Or maybe web 2.0. I don't know. Everything's just not as wide as it used to be. Except TV, which is now too wide so unless you own a fucking enormous television bits get cut off the sides.

Nah that's it. I've run out of steam. If you want more then why not drop by and ask me something mildly interesting?
