Be Yourself?

You know how sometimes you keep meaning to blog about something, but you only remember it when you’re nowhere near a computer? Well, I’ve finally remembered something I’ve meant to blog about for a while, and I’m actually at a computer.

I really hate those Bud Light “Be Yourself” ads by Joe Phillips that appear in gay magazines. Apparently it’s okay to “be yourself” as long as you are ridiculously buff, wear tight-fitting clothes, and have perfect teeth and well-coiffed hair. In other words, you can “be yourself” as long as you look like a Chelsea clone. How utterly ridiculous.

Hey, no big deal. Gay men don’t have self-image problems, right?

They’re just ads, but they’ve pissed me off for a long time.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled whatever-you-were-doing-before-you-came-here.

New Host?

I’m looking for a new web host for my site, as my current host has been unreliable lately. I currently have 200 MB disk space, 5 GB bandwidth, a mySQL database, etc., for $5.95 a month. I’d like something with a similar price. (I need the mySQL to run WordPress.)

Any recommendations?

(Update: I have chosen site5 as my new host. I found them through some research and they have a terrific reputation. Thanks for the suggestions!)

Email not working

Apparently my tinmanic.com e-mail account has not been functioning since late yesterday afternoon. If you’ve sent me e-mails since that time, I haven’t received them. Please send your mail to me again at [ ] AT yahoo.com until I fix this. Ugh.
