While I spend the next few minutes in the shower, consider this (no, please do not consider me in the shower; I promise you, it's not the least bit sexy):
1. I have been to the Blogathon website, where it has now been revealed: The Official Theme Song of the 2005 Blogathon is the theme song of SpongeBob Squarepants. Really. Go check the Blogathon page if you doubt me.
2. I have also gleaned some truly happy news from the Blogathon page: We -- i.e. all of the Blogathonners -- have raised $49,675.09 in pledges. Considering that our goal was $50,000; considering that as of this past Wednesday, we were at the halfway mark; and considering that pledges will be accepted through Tuesday, this is wonderful and gratifying news, and says volumes about the generosity and public-spiritedness of our internet friends. You are all wonderful people.
Okay, all together now! "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?...Absorbent 'n' yellow 'n' porous is he!..."
