Dire Mirth has been suffering these past few weeks due to a new hobby-blog I started. I apologize for my divided attention. Dire Mirth has grumpily twiddled her thumbs while I helped my other blog up on its wee little legs. From this point forward I believe there will be no more detrimental blog division.
Why the other blog I seem to hear you ask from my speakers? Well, its a novelty blog.
nov·el·ty [nov-uhl-tee] noun, adjective –noun
an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory
I have seen friends of mine write novelty blogs over the past few years. Some focus on World of Warcraft, others on law school, some on photography, one is even so nifty as to detail model rocketry. All of them are very cool. Dire Mirth is great as my general blog. I have been very happy writing it. Still, something was missing and it was easily filled with a specialty blog.
Admittedly, I struggled a bit with whether to post or link my new blog to this one, but after a few chats with some friends “why not?” seemed to be the best answer.
Not all of you will enjoy my novelty blog. That is completely fine and absolutely understandable. Feel free to even do what my buddy Becky did when she heard what my other blog was about, which was giggle hysterically for approximately 30 seconds.
Without further delay, and only if you feel like it, here is the link to Going Boldly. It is currently all about Star Trek (as I just began my foray into watching all of the series’…yes, that’s plural), but will eventually be about all things sci-fi. I absolutely love science fiction! Going Boldly is a lot of fun for me to write. It also keeps Dire Mirth from getting too geeky!
NOTICE: Dire Mirth will be dark until Dec. 19th, 2007.
Reason given: Law school finals.
The next many days will be spent in the depths of the law library packing my brain with as much material as possible. Unless the world stops spinning, I am contacted by an Australian (for the purposes of my Int’l Law final research paper), or Bruce Campbell stops by for coffee (because I’d like to think I always have time availble for coffee with Bruce) then I have no reason not to be studying in the library all day long.

I also thought it would be fun to find a movie image that aptly conveyed how I felt about the whole finals issue. Who better to help than Sigourney Weaver? Think of me as Ellen Ripley in Aliens: scared yet resolved to kick butt. She, like myself, was terrified of her foes (granted big green aliens may be more scary than law exams but not by much), yet ready to lay them to waste.
The title says it all. Normally my teeny blog gets 2-6 hits a day. Mostly my close friends who bumble about the Internet. I think a big day would maybe afford 15 visitors. Well, with my last post (regarding Lucy and her Chicago concert), that all changed.
Over 1,000% increase!
Wow. Now, I used to work as a data analyst (before I began the law school thing), so I know a bit about numbers and trends. It does not, however, take an analyst to notice this is a HUGE deal. The Lucy Lawless/Xena fan-base is an Internet force!
This leads me to what I believe is the next logical question: (ahem. *clears throat)
Can we have a Xena movie now please? Pretty please?
If this random law student in Indiana can have the BIGGEST day in her blog’s history simply by mentioning Lucy’s name in the title (as you’ll notice I did again in a feeble attempt to garner the attention of those with the power) is it not obvious that a movie would do well? I’ll buy a movie ticket. I’ll buy a DVD. I would even tune into the appropriate channel on the debut night to bump up those ole’ Nielsen Ratings (foregoing my DVR, which I love). I reckon the heaps of folks who read my blog over the past few days would do the same.
Just a thought. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.
