Hey Folks: My website is kinda ganky after a recent WordPress upgrade (I’m working on resolving the issues). If you subscribe to C-Mon using Google Reader, you will have to delete your subscription and re-subscribe or you won’t see new posts. Sorry for the hassle. And thanks for reading C-Mon!!

Hey Folks

C-Mon is getting a much needed techno check-up. If things are looking or acting a little weird, please be patient…

xox,

C.

***Important Update: Because Yahoo (my webhost) and the latest edition of WordPress (my blogging software) can’t seem to talk to each other, it means the permalinks on C-Mon are an unholy mess. I’m workin’ on it, though it’s gonna be a little while before everything is all hunky dory…

If you subscribe to C-Mon using Google Reader, chances are you won’t see any new posts. Please delete your subscription and re-subscribe. I’m sorry for the hassle. Unfortunately, this blog is held together by the technological equivalent of duct tape and chewing gum, which practically guarantees some spectacular techno-hiccups now and again. Thanks for your patience and your continued support!!

On a totally unrelated note: If you’re not following the story about Fox News nut-job Glenn Beck’s new role as art professor, you are MISSING OUT. Here’s the video that started it all, in which Beck goes all apeshit about the “communist” art in Rockefeller Center. Here’s Tyler Green’s analysis of the segment. And today’s big news: the Saltz-Master has told Beck: BRING. IT. ON. Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuummmmble! (Via @hragv.)
I’ll be back at ya next week with regular C-Monstrousness. Happy Labour Day!
