Two years of the finest in mediocrity
Posted on August 8, 2005 @ 10:29 am
Imagine, if you will, a world without Apropos of Something. A world where this blog doesn’t exist. No tales from the classroom. No weird news. No celebrity gossip. No comics strips with wacky new dialogue. Nothing. Well-intentioned surfers are instead left with little choice but to read one of the literally millions of other blogs available to them on the Web (many of which are funnier, more informative, better designed, and/or updated more frequently).
As utterly frightening as it sounds, such a world existed until two years ago today.
On that fateful day, however, Apropos of Something sprang forth from my head, fully formed like the goddess Athena. Well, fully formed except that it launched under a different name. And with a completely different tone. And that it ran on different blogging software. Otherwise, though, it was fully formed. Trust me.
Since then, it’s been a fun ride, and I deeply appreciate everyone who checks in regularly to peruse my inane ramblings. Things have been a little quiet around here lately, but I’m working on getting back into the saddle (as soon as I find a saddle blanket that matches my stylish bandana and cowboy hat).
Now, let us celebrate the second blogiversary of Apropos of Something with much joy and merriment! Feel free to quaff the beverage of your choice to mark the occasion. Unless it’s Mountain Dew. That’s just gross.

I am quaffing an iced coffee right now to mark the occasion. Wait a sec, I’m gonna have to go look that up now. Congrats on your two year blogiversary!
Happy Blog-Day! I really enjoy reading your blog, Jess. The Apropos Comics are really funny!
Happy Anniversary! I’ve enjoyed “the ‘pos” for some time
Happy Anniversary! I’m glad to live in a world withAOS.
Combolations!
It’s on my lj feed, so I’m all set to be updated.
I think shiraz would be my toast of choice, or perhaps that white (I forget what… a reisling maybe?) in my fridge.
Congrats, buddy! I just celebrated my 2nd blogoversary 9 days ago, too!
I love the cartoons.
Best of luck on year #3!
Congrats. I’d toast you with a Sierra Nevada, but it’s a little early, so it’ll have to be coffee. Your blog is great and the comics are even better.
Happy Blogiversary! I just celebrated my 4th a couple of days ago, but on a different blog than I have now.
congrats! great blog … keep going :>
Happy Birthday! And I loved the way you wrote the tribute to well, yourself.:)
Perrier all around, then! Happy 2nd!!
You forgot to mention that without this blog we wouldn’t know a thing about your arch nemesis and that would be a pity indeed. Congrats.
Happy Blogiversary! I like pretty much everything here, but my favorites are the made-up comics and your Arch-Nemesis.
Kudos on your bloggage, my friend. Thanks to you I have avoided many a hideous movie…only to be forcibly subjected to it during a 14 hour flight. I suspect your Arch-Nemesis is to blame for that one.
Happy two years! I look forward to the third!
