Left-Handed Again.

Well, a number of people have suggested that I put the GitM sidebar back on the left side of the screen, so it’s been done. As per usual, I’ve also received a number of blog-comments asking me to try phentermine, gamble online, and procure some cheap auto insurance, but, alas, those requests will not so readily be fulfilled here. Sorry, xysggsll and Cheap Phentermine Now!, and thanks for writing. (Bring on the Typekey, y’all.)

Four More Years!

Ghost in the Machine is four years old today. We’ve weathered lots of personal, political, and cinematic ups and downs since that badly written entry on 11.15.99 (as the archives new and old will attest), but it’s funny how most of the topics covered here at length (Dem politics, movie reviews, fanboy culture, the Knickerbockers) were foreshadowed in that first rambling preamble. As for the hits, well…I’m not going to talk about the hits, ’cause you won’t stay in this business for four long years if you dwell too heavily on the site stats. So, to paraphrase FDR, “I should like to have it said of GitM‘s first administration that in it the forces of selfishness, lust for power, and lousy film transitions of fanboy properties met their match; I would like to have it said of its second administration that in it these forces met their master.” Here’s to four more years!
