So. There is a lot of media attention around the blog. More than usual actually, as I just saw the receptionist guy on the Desperate Housewives say to Lynette that he was “updating my blog”. So my question is this: Is blogging (in your experience) more mainstream than it was?

is the blogging more mainstream???

Heh. I haven’t done my weekly poll in WEEKS! And no-one said a word. Huh. I’d have thought someone would have reminded me!! Anyway, as always, I encourage you to submit questions, Coming up with this stuff ain’t easy…

Your company transfered you to a new location. One of your previous employees called on someone in your new department. In the course of the conversation the question came up regarding your sexuality. Your previous employee states “Yeah, he’s a flamer”. How do you handle it?

they said that??

I often say that I am a Madonna queen. You know, versus like a Cher queen. Silly, I know. Anyway, I have always loved Madonna. I can remember staying up until midnight to hear Material Girl played on the radio for the first time. I remember how excited I was when she did a movie, and being bummed when True Blue was like only released in Europe or something (I never said it was a clear memory). I think we all have at least one Madonna song we just love. Bringing me to my question…

Are you looking forward to the release of Madonna’s new album?

What have I been up to? Well in my on-going effort to make danielphillip.com a better, more entertaining place I have installed a polling module and a new category. That’s right kids, I want to get a weekly feature of my very own going. I was inspired yet again by the sheer brilliance that is Heathers. We will be having our very own “lunchtime poll”. I figure Tuesdays are as good a day as any, but it is apparently already Wednesday.. Hmm. Well, that’s about right. Weekly, on Tuesdays or perhaps Wednesdays we’ll have a poll. A vote, if you will. So, use the link and send me topics, eh? I’m no genius over here… The formats allowable (well, possible) are true or false and multiple choice. Topics will be chosen based on creativity, interest, and umm… well, let’s just say I won’t be picky. Just play nice if you play.

Our first topic comes from me. Sorry, but that’s all I got. And the question sucks.
