Project Wonderful
| May 25, 2008 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
I didn’t think much of Project Wonderful when I first began to notice it on various blogs. I don’t think much of most sites which claim to give payouts to bloggers. They all seem to never actually get to the point where they pay out a cent. But I put it up on Word Grrls and so far, I have made 4 cents with PW, literally overnight. Four cents isn’t much but at this rate I could actually see a pay out. That would be a change!
I’m considering adding it to this blog as well. Working on a new layout at the moment so it can wait till that is done.
Web Comic: When Pigeons Weep

When Pigeons Weep: Web comic artist.
The old link I originally added here is now a splog. Removed the link. The web comic is no longer being created but the artist is working on new ideas at The Coterie of Zombies. The last remains of When Pigeons Weep is a Facebook group, abandoned but still has a few posts with comics.

Grrl in Charge
| May 25, 2008 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
I don’t think it’s terrible or very adult to be interested in being the woman in charge of the man when it comes to the fun side of a relationship. To say it politely versus talking about more shocking things like BDSM and Dommes and men who want to be submissive.
It’s not all about sex. There are things and situations assumed as soon as someone talks about BDSM and Dominance and submission. But, for me it’s about being in charge and doing things my own way. If you don’t want him drooling over you then you get to make the change. Instead he can wash the dishes and then kneel at your feet until just having him kneeling there starts to be more interesting than annoying.
I don’t see everything connected to the D/s fetish being adult and taboo. It’s fun. Aren’t there things you’d like to do which ‘nice girls’ just don’t do? Wouldn’t you like to have a man be the one who feels helpless and unsatisfied for a change. You don’t need leather clothes, extraordinary high heels or whips and chains. You can skip the accessories completely and just work with your voice telling him what to do. Force isn’t necessary. Both of you want to do this, to have this experience and that is part of the charge and thrill of it.
Keep it all in the bedroom, private and just between the two of you. Take it out a bit, for a little more fun. Torment him just a little more. But, keep it fun for both of you. He needs to know you are in charge and that means you say when you’ve had enough, just are plain not interested or want him in another room- preferably making himself useful doing some of the household everyday work.
So are you shocked? My little secret is out. I like being the woman in charge of the man, at least in the bedroom.
Thursday 13 #24: Fired and Rising Up
| May 22, 2008 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Thirteen things I can do now that I’m unemployed (fired yesterday).
Set the alarm clock and ignore it. Just let it go on beep-beep-beeping, getting all upset and flustered. You know how those little yappy alarm clocks sound.
Miss the bus. At the time I would have left for work today I stood at the window and watched the bus leave, without me on it!
Catch up on important things like the book I’ve been reading, my web domain that has been sadly neglected for ages (thatgrrl.ca), fix up the new domain for this blog and figure out why it doesn’t always load up the first time.
Get out for more abandoned farm house photos. Find the locations I have saved in notes, on Flickr and in my email from others.
Check into the idea of making Word Grrls a blog with ads, a money making blog. I know it’s not what I had planned or thought I would do. But, maybe I can run a bit of this and that and not have it feel like a spam pit or ad farm.
Call some other poor fool working as tech support for a company and just shoot the breeze awhile. Funny how often people did that. I don’t think they knew we were rated on how quickly we handled calls. My rating was pretty good, not the best but it wasn’t something they complained about.
Colour my hair again. It’s about time for it to get done. I can see the difference in colour in the new hair. Also need to do laundry, including the bedsheets. All those things I’ve usually left for the weekends when I had more time.
Start that Best of the Web work or get going with it at least. They say it pays after the first thousand sites. I’m not near to that but could be, now that I’m not getting sucked dry at work and coming home wtih massive headaches.
More drawing and doodling and cartooning. Doodle Week Summer is coming up for July.
Have lunch and dinner during rather than skipping them and coming home after 10:00 to eat dinner late. I can even do some cooking. I miss making lasagna and such things. Not as much fun to just crack open a can of soup.
Eventually I will look for some other work. Not yet. I’m giving myself this weekend off. Seems my sister is even going to be dropping by on Saturday. If I were still working I would have missed seeing her at all.
Watching the soaps, catching up on them. Have them on today and don’t know what they are talking about. Seems someone died but so far I haven’t noticed anyone missing.
Writing. Really, actually getting something finished. I made plans to write a guest post this month but have not even started anything. I have an article as a draft about rural exploration but it’s in need of work. Lots of other writing which is half done to not started beyond the idea stage.

The Domain Thing
| May 21, 2008 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Not sure what is going on with the domain. It works and then it doesn’t work. I thought it was ok tonight. Just sent thank you notes to tech support at geohost.ca and the Blogger help blog I found for custom domain help. But it’s 404 again when I try to load the blog now. Urrggghhhh!
Update: I think I’ve got it now!! It was a www versus non www thing.
