To discuss some news, a question and an answer

Did you know it's Valentine's Day tomorrow? Just checking. Apparently, it's a big deal. I've got some romantic things planned for Capricorn, none of which I pulled from Cosmo ideas, as that would end in me talking about my childhood and her worrying where to find my "secret pleasure spots."
But this isn't a Valentine's post. That might come later. As a guy in a blossoming, wonderful relationship, I'd rather let the bitter single bloggers have their turn first-- they deserve the stage.
This is more of an update on what's going on lately for me, as I've had minimal posts of that sort and maximum posts on Brody Jenner and JoBros. There's a question at the end I'd like you to answer, too.

• I started my new work blog, and, for some reason, my bosses have let me get away with much of the Tom Foolery I get away with on this blog. I didn't know I could talk about implants on a newspaper blog, but I can! And they say newspapers are dead.
  
• I'm moving. Capricorn and I spent the past few weekends browsing rentals and visiting places, looking for one with a washer/dryer, central air, a dishwasher, a butler, a slip-n-slide and a chocolate fountain. We were successful on some of those counts with a place that is a nice step up from where I'm living now. I plan on singing "Movin' On Up" Jefferson-style the entire day of the move. The hardest part of the search was finding a pet-friendly place, as evidently landlords are afraid of this 10-pound chiweenie.
• If you put two and two together on the last item, yes, Capricorn and I are moving in together, although not immediately- she's coming later this year. There are many benefits to this that I'll detail down the road, but the first that comes to mind is that I can have Cosmo sent directly to my house and not feel the need to say it's for "research."
• In my fervent effort to not get laid off because of the recession, I'm doing new projects at work to give the air of "Hey, he must know what he's doing." That's contributed to long days, although the resulting projects do somehow look like they are done by someone who knows what he's doing. In related news, Tom Brokaw is now my intern and in charge of said projects.
  

This all brings me the question. I've felt terrible about not keeping up with blog reading in recent weeks, let alone making sure I post frequently. At the height, I was reading 40-50 blogs a day. I promise to get back to commenting as soon as I can- I appreciate those of you who comment on mine anyway, perhaps out of pity, not unlike those who attended my birthday parties as an adult child.
So, how many blogs do you read in a day? Comment and participate in the poll, if you wish.
----------
And the answer for the last poll is..... Christopher Walken! Capricorn thinks he's sexy. I'm now questioning my desire to live with her. I'm also wondering how in the world most of you guessed that correctly. Am I missing something about his sex appeal? Does it have something to do with cow bells?

To discuss a hello to you, blog friend, and a how do you do, stranger?

Dear new reader:

I'm so glad to have met you this month, and trust me, if you left a comment on my blog, I checked out your blog.
I'm guessing you found me because of the hilarious No Ordinary Rollercoaster, or perhaps because you were recently Google searching for "I am familiar with carpentry and I don't know who my father is.”*
This week, I'm going to have several posts dedicated to letting you know more about me. Sure, there are previous posts, such as this one and this one, that give you an idea what I'm all about. But I think it's time I get more in-depth.
Possible posts includes tales of high school**, a 100 Things list like this one on The State I Am In, a new poll (the most recent one is coming down to the wire between Cory/Topanga and Zack/Kelly! Get those votes in), a Q&A, a re-posting of an early favorite or two of mine, and other things to get us more acquainted with each other. I do not plan on buying you a drink first or chit-chatting. We are going to just get right down to the dirty business.

Sincerely,
Andy

Dear long-time reader:

You want to know something? I appreciate you more than you know. Every day, I write something for this blog hoping to make you laugh, or at least make you wax nostalgic about Boy Meets World and Fresh Prince. I'm glad for the new readers jumping aboard, but even more, I'm glad you keep sticking around. Maybe you'll learn something new about me this week.
But even more, I want to learn something about you.
That's why I'm challenging you.
Your mission? Write one post on your own blog this week describing:
A) Something nobody knows about you, or
B) One of your favorites stories from your childhood, or
C) Your 10 Top Favorite (Fill in the Blank).
Then, leave a comment on one of my posts this week or e-mail me with a link/info on the post. When I get enough links, I'll put together a post featuring links to everyone who participated. We'll make it Get to Know You day. Newbies, you can join in, too.

Respectfully submitted,
Andy

* Actual Google search that led someone to my blog. I write posts providing answers for Google searchers, as I consider it is my duty as a blogger. The answer for this one? It's a quote from Charlie on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
** Much more interesting that A Tale of Two Cities, or tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago. Not necessarily more interesting than Duck Tales (Ah woo-oo!).
