Protesting Is So Punk Rock.

Isn't it funny how your significant other has a pet, and all of a sudden the minute you consummate things into more than "Thanks for the pussy. Lates!" it becomes your pet? If I wanted a pet, I'd have one. My girlfriend has a pet, and now I have a twelve pound wet mangy thing sitting at my feet and my entire apartment smells like wet nasty dog, and dog shampoo.

This really has nothing to do with anything, I'm well aware; yet, the author of the blog which I get to review today has a picture that says "I bite," and it made me think of the only way I can get this little stink nugget to hate me enough to not have the woman bring him over here is to bite him.

The blog is Blogging Under Protest, and if she's really protesting the blog-scene that much then I say she should pack up her bags and close shop. It's not bad, it's not good, it's not riveting, but it's not a total snooze either. The template is a typical Pannasmontata template, and the only reason I use the word "typical" is because I've seen this template at least four times, just today while blog hopping at work. It's not that the template is horrible or anything, but if you're going to deviate from the standard blogger templates, deviate enough so that you don't have the same fucking template as every other self righteous, narcissistic blogger. Even with these "stock" templates, there's still a code that you can fuck around with, should you so choose, to make things a little bit more you. Outside of the blah-ness of the template, the sidebar is neatly organized and everything is smashing. She even has drop down archives. Well done, my dear. Well done, indeed!

The content has a touch of "Dear Diary!" to it, which I'm fairly certain isn't what she was going for. Sorry baby-cakes. Somehow you managed it. Her posts are mildly amusing, but like I said before, it's not riveting. It doesn't make me want to read it on a daily basis, and even though I went through her archives up until November of 2005, I didn't really find anything that really drew me in. It could possibly be because I have a nut sack and she has nothing of the sort, but I trudged through it like people trudge through the beginning chapters of a book because they have some sick hope it's going to get better and more interesting.

I really wanted to love this blog, because who doesn't want to love the blog of a pacific northwest chic who has a badunkadunk? Alas, this blog really didn't do much for me by way of love. What can you expect from a blog that was started as a creative writing assignment.

I give it because the little stink nugget just licked up the food I dropped so I'm feeling extra giving.

You also get a for having the title of your blog be a hyper link to your blog. That's just a bit redundant and goes with what I said earlier: you can tweak the template!
