You Are a Club Sandwich |

You dream big. You think big. And you eat big. Some people consider you high maintenance, but you just know what you want… and when you want it. Your best friend: The Tuna Fish Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich |
What Kind of Sandwich Are You?

Just add water . . .
Okay, not really. Just add random words to Crazy Libs original or classic stories and get your own personalized version. Here’s one of mine…
The Fishing Incident
One minute I went fishing — fishing invariably makes me nervous. Most people like to fish in streams, but I, in my wit, like to fish in rivers. Standing quickly, I baited the hook with a handbag (and a couple of silky waffles for good measure), leaned back, and lavishly cast my fishing shoelace. I waited for a whole millennium, whispering to relieve the boredom, when finally a gurgle caught my attention. Sarcastically, I pulled and waddled on my fishing shoelace, straining until my last ounce of arrogance was gone, and reeled in my catch.
I was creeped out. There, lying before me like a sneaky frying pan on a meerkat’s toenail, was a giant screwdriver. As if that weren’t scary enough, the screwdriver, to my utmost stamina, started to sigh.
Cheesily, I dropped my fishing shoelace and ran back to my castle, without looking back. I don’t know when I’ve been so ecstatic.
How about adding one of yours?

Well okay, it ain’t exactly the Tower of Babel . . .
But The Dialectizer is quite good fun. By entering the URL of any website you can see it immediately translated into such international languages as:

It was a year ago today that casa az was born.
Previously my only experience with online forums and journals was on h2g2 , started by Douglas Adams and now run by the BBC. And perhaps if they hadn’t had a total ‘blackout’ on hootoo for about two days around the beginning of last May I wouldn’t have looked elsewhere. But I’d seen other friends starting up blogs and because I was already using WordPress as the content manager for my online clothing store I decided to go with them. Another bit of serendipity as all other blogsites I’ve tried out since (just out of curiosity) have shown themselves to be a lot less user friendly.
And so one year, 275 posts and almost 40,000 peeks later I am very happy that things turned out the way they did because my time here has been very special… interesting, enjoyable, at times thought-provoking & challenging, and with the extra added bonus of having met some fabulous new friends. I’m also very happy that several of my old h2g2 pals, and also some of my RL friends, have chosen to come and visit me here.
So thanks for having made this such a wonderful year
and I hope we’ll share many more together!
