OK. Here's the skinny. This blog, right here? It's not being updated anymore. Really. It's been replaced with twitter, flickr, and a mailing list for the good stuff. This has been in the works for awhile. I'm still creating weird things all the time, I'm just not posting them here anymore.
I hope you'll come follow me on Twitter, because that actually gets updated everyday.
http://twitter.com/absolutelysmall
It really has replaced this blog in every respect.
And I hope you'll come visit me on Flickr, because that's where the photos go.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/smallchick/
And the mailing list is good, too. Sign up for it if you'd like to know when the next Ab Small movies/shows/sales/etc are. (Still once a month-ish. Still short.) The sign up form is directly to your right.
Also: TheNeedle.org. Still posting new plushies there!
It's been a good two years. Thanks everyone for following along!

- 08:55 Sacramento News & Review front page claims "Twitter Sucks!" I think this may just be more evidence that the SN&R sucks. As does Sacramento.
- 09:21 There is simply no way to make today sound exciting enough to twitter about. Cleaning. Packing. Moving a few things. Wee ow!
- 17:49 Ad for "Penis Reduction" pills on The Needle. Great. Thanks, Project Wonderful! *off to change some settings on those ads!*
- 17:54 I wonder..If I started a for-profit shopping blog, would my frivolous shopping become tax deductible? All in the name of research,of course.

- 08:53 Tried to clean my laptop screen with a computer wipe, and it made things worse. As did the Endust wipe. Looks like dogs licked my screen.

- 15:18 OH. MY. GAWD. I turned around at hearing a loud farting noise only to find Buster exploding on my carpet. SNACKTIME OVER.
- 15:24 Husb: I'm not picky, I'm "particular". Me: There's a difference? Husb: Of course there is....I just walked right into that one, didn't I?
- 16:05 Weird: Two people found my etsy shop by searching "dirty etsy sellers". What the heck? I'm squeaky clean. I smell fantastic!

- 13:03 Topanga (older pug) is stopped by doing a weird hacky cough when trying to put Buster (baby pug) in his place. Is that normal?
- 13:08 Is it wrong to be amused by this? tinyurl.com/edqec And to want to run around trying to make goats fall over?
- 16:01 New way to wake up from a nap: have one's throat stepped on by a pug. Then, have one's face sneezed on by a pug. And a scratch to the face.
