30 in 30 Days 4 & 5 Recaps
Jun. 6th, 2007 02:02 pm Time to update on 30 in 30! I do this, btw, so there is a central place to look and see how everyone is doing. Also, since as we know I like to reminisce about years past, its almost impossible unless at the time I posted about what everyone else was doing.
Also, participants, if you haven't already you should join the
30in30 community. By viewing the friends list there you can see more or less most of the participants on one friends list ... plus some people who haven't left the group from last year. (=
Days 4 & 5 of 30
ironlioninzion: Clash of Civilizations, & Clash of Republicans;
xaositecte: What Would You Do If You had 30 Seconds of Uninterrupted Radio Broadcast Airtime to Say Anything, & What Happens in the Airforce When Someone Gets a DUI;
beastmario: Blood & Steel, the joys of fighting, and answers to the earlier questions he'd posted;
eazyt: has been taking the philosophical route, with a post about Embryo Ownership Rights and First Date Activities;
thanew: In Defense of Ultimate Fighting Championships, and The Second to Last Episode of Sopranos (spoiler-warning); Jeff4mvh: "30 in 30 is Sucking the Life Out of Me" and some short funny video clips, Blogger Killed For Being Right About "Knocked Up" (don't panic, its satire);
metalphoenix: Working till 11 and the difficulty that gives one in updating before midnight. Also notes that in 1969 the United States government made it illegal to have contact with aliens from outer space, which is such sauce but I suppose it has the intended effect of making it officially government business to know whether or not you've been abducted. Why "Josie & the Pussycats" is a Contemporary Masterpiece;
neugotik: Quotes from a 2 Yr Old, and A Thai Statue;
bartgroks has been posted various small entries;
At This Point in 30 in 30 I:
Day 4: By day four the differences between those with blogstamina and those without was becoming apparent. This day brought the first failures to post, neither
mrkevincostner nor
oystercracker posted this day, though they picked up again the following day.
shekb managed to succeed where
jdryznar &
incomple were consistently failing, by making a funny entry about Bush & Cheney;
lerani posted about the Garfield movie and how it tries to portray itself as edgy;
stephenl posts an ode to a jelly doughnut; and
apoplecticfittz hits blogging gold with The Ten Blogging Commandments (Blogmandments?).
Day 5:
apoplecticfittz composes horoscopes;
stephenl realizes that even if he posts the most boring entry he can, he'll still get 31 comments, and
lerani hates him for it, but actually writes a nice little entry about her drunken loathred for the whole undertaking.
feuders goes off the deepend.
shekb effectively summarizes the fate of the bloggist in a post about how despite all his other failures and shortcomings, at least one of his entries comes up number six on a google search.
30/30 III - (2005)
Day 5: Le Blog D'Arthur - One of my favourite of my own entries, I discuss 30 in 30 of the year 1486, how a guy named Golden Snacks saved England, and other such.
pavel_lishin posts about using an ipod holder to sneak a flask of vodka into a wedding, go team!
Day 6: Reisig for DA - District Attorney Candidate Reisig spends his lunch break being nice to people who are protesting him, solidly earning my admiration. Now his office is prosecuting my enemies muahahaha! JK. They say they can only get me 36 hour notice as to whether or not I'll need to testify on Monday or Tuesday though )= (which is such sauce since its 450 miles away!!)
