Hellooo, Ella! Before I get giddy and giggle like a school girl about the release of WordPress 2.1 (codenamed “Ella”, after jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald), I’d like to tell the boring story of how Ella arrived just in time to help me out with fusing my LongBox posts into Baddieverse.

LongBox was initially my personal blog. Wanting to try out “niche blogging”, I turned it into a blog about comic books and comics-related media, at the same time creating this stupid Baddieverse blog to be my new personal blog.

I reserved all my comics-related posts for LongBox, and as it turned out, I didn’t have enough comics-related posts to keep me interested in maintaining two blogs. I ended up posting a new entry once a week. And for something so boring coming out only once a week, it meant death to traffic and comments. Death, I tells ya! Yes, I finally realized that keeping two personal blogs is a stupid idea. It’s not only stupid, it’s also… well, “stupid” pretty much sums it all up.

The new roster of the New Avengers has been revealed. Some hate it because it’s not the “real” Avengers. People, things doesn’t always have to be the way they were when you were 12, okay? The fun part of reading comics is that characters change, team rosters change, the over-all direction of a monthly series change. The status quo needs to be shaken up once in a while to keep things interesting and fresh. Quit whining.

Some people do love the new roster that includes Echo, Ronin, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and that Peter Parker dude. It’s definitely not the “classic” Avengers. This group will apparently be formed as per Captain America’s wishes after Civil War ends. Cap’s fate will probably be decided in the last issue of Civil War, where he’ll probably die or give up being a costumed hero. Or maybe he’ll become too emo after Civil War and begin to wear another costume like, say, Ronin’s.

So I’ve been busy this past week at work. Never had that amount of tasks served to me before. Been assisting a fellow employee with a spyware problem (IE can be the biggest pain in the ass!), rolling out a sale on the PinoyDVD Online Store, and doing some CSS/HTML/PHP/Photoshop Kung Fu on the PinoyDVD Forum. I usually visit my regular interweb hangouts at work, but with all the tasks this week, I just didn’t have the time to dick around yUPieLBi, Newsarama, Digg, and The Man Blog Forum at work. And I’m online from 9 am to 6 pm! At home, the communal PC is always occupied by any one of my three siblings during weeknights. So what does a surf-hungry dude do to get his daily fix of interwebs dickery? Be Smart.

Holy mother of stinkin’ crap! I’ve blog for the past five days like I’ve never blogged before! In less than five days, I’ve posted ten blog entries (including this one) with topics ranging from blogging to TV network hijacking by a dude wearing a Max Headroom mask. Is Baddie insane, a blog addict, or just hungry for additional cash? You decide!

What have I learned from this blogathon?

I learned that taking “mind notes” of certain topics you want to blog about in the future may come in handy, provided you remember said notes. In my case, out of probably a dozen topics I have thought of before, I managed to blog about one of them. Now I know what pens and paper are for.

We all know the eight rules of Fight Club, right? What if I tell you that there’s more than eight? Your mind. It’s just been, you know, blown. Before I reveal the rest of the rules to you, let me refresh your memory on the first eight:

1. You do not talk about Fight Club.
2. You do not talk about Fight Club.
3. If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
4. Two guys to a fight.
5. One fight at a time.
6. No shirts, no shoes.
7. Fights will go on as long as they have to.
8. If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.

And now, with the risk of Mr. Durden punching my face and kicking my balls, I present to you the rejected rules of Fight Club:
