sven asked if i had thought about trying out a subscription service on my blog, which was something i had toyed with briefly when i saw his, but don't the people who read this do so almost daily anyway? and i update so often i shouldn't think people needed notifications. besides all my colours would be gone to waste. sometimes i think i care more for the colours than anything else or i'd have switched to movable type long ago. that, and the fact i quite like building everything from scratch on notepad. one of those tedious things you cling stubbornly to, like cooking from scratch when you can buy a mix for the gravy easily, or pickling your own achar or something. on the other hand, minyin says that getting compiled blogs in her email is like having the paper delivered instead of trotting down to the newstand. well. tell me what you prefer, my darlings, and your collective wish shall be my command.
