| So I love xanga, but I feel like I'm a bit limited with what I can do here. So I'm moving my primary web address.
Right now I'm finishing the paint job over at The Cover and Title Page. Some of the modules are still under construction and I'll add more Creative Work and Resources as we go along.
Why another blog? This is how I think Cover and Title Page will be different from xanga:
- More creative work. I think it's a better space to post fiction serially and then have it available for download in a separate section.
- More creative freedom. On Wordpress I can add and take away pages pretty easily so it should be able to grow as i want to add other things.
- Better archiving. You'll be able to easily browse by topic or month or etc.
- This blog will be my official "writing" space. This will be where Ricky Alcantar the writer lives.
But I need help. Please help me test drive the site and tell me what you think.
Thanks!

| Only Americans come up with such strange and wonderful promotions....
On 7.11.07 (Wednesday) 7-Eleven stores across the country will be giving away thousands of slurpees.
On 7.13.07 (Friday) you will receive a free combo at Chick-Fil-A if you come dressed as a cow. The fine print stipulates that you must come dressed "from head to toe" in said cow costume in order to receive the combo. If you have "partially dressed" as a cow you will receive one free entree.
I am seriously considering both offers--I've already found the headpiece for my cow costume. If you'd like to join me in receiving a combo from Chick-Fil-A please let me know. People dressed as cows look less stupid if they travel in groups.

For the record: YES I KNOW THIS IS HORRIBLE. But I think it's so bad that it's funny. I mean seriously guys, you can't get any worse than this.

| I'm going to start blogging again soon. But right now.....
Most of my time is going here and into summer school. (12 hrs of classes in 2 months....whew)
In other news my sister Emma called me a "grey-haired old man." Yes, it seems that am, in fact, getting old. At long last the youthful glow I once knew is being overshadowed by a haggard and aged appearance.
I shed a bitter tear when I saw OWAG's tribute to its hero. I composed a spontaneous poem for occasion:
O Alex!
by R. Alcantar
O Alex my Alex!
What bitter tears I shed. Alas!
That providence keeps me from attending your blessed union!
O Alex my Alex!
I nearly composed a bitter poem entitled "O Ruth! You who took our friend away!"but decided not to because, honestly, the guy seems pretty happy. So while my heart breaks not to be with them next weekend...it's probably just going to save me from having a good cry.
I was called a "sappy person" the other day by my fake big sister. I vehemently deny the allegation.
