My BFF Sara called me last night. That's not a big deal-- we talk every day or so in one way or another -- but this was extra sweet. She was falling asleep standing up (and when she reaches her "I've been awake long enough today" limit, she literally falls asleep and you can't get her up to the bed without drastic measures -- like she's a grown-up woman version of a kitten, falling asleep in mid-leap), but called me anyway to tell me that she'd reserved the "GeekaChicas" name all over the place. Twitter, various group and list services, stuff like that, which I had not got around to doing.
It was so sweet and unexpected, and me feel all warm and loved. :) I'm going into this web-mogul (har!) thing barely knowing what I'm doing, so it's uber-cool to have savvy friends looking out for me. :D

I signed up with ThinkGeek's affiliate program, which is awesome because it's a great site (my boys are always stealing the catalogs when they come, and I find them hidden under their pillows or stuffed in their backpacks). It's where I got Big Boy his sonic screwdriver and psychic paper.
At the hubby's urging, I also signed up to be an affiliate for J-List a site that sells all kinds of cool Japanese culture stuff and gadgets. I will, however, have to be careful what advert packages I use, on account of they do have some "R" rated adverts that, while gorgeous, might put me in violation of the adult content agreements I have with other advertisers. *sigh* I think the yaoi banners I've seen have all been tame enough, but they also sell adult anime video games. (I am aware of the existence of such animals, but I've never actually seen one. What I've heard leads me to believe that most are somewhat demeaning to women, and sometimes involve underage elements and such -- both are huge squicks for me personally.) In any case, they have banners for Japanese snacks, PG manga and gadgets, all of which are very pretty and interesting (plus, their gizmos are crazy cheap).

I see my Port-A-Doctor today. I say "Port-A-Doctor" because he's small. It's a corollary to the Port-A-Hottie Phenomenon. ;) Wish me luck!
