Last night I upgraded my blogging software to the latest version. The process somehow restored functionality to the Guppie Life Comments feed, which had not been working for some time. (Oops.)
If you’d like, consider subscribing to the comments feed. It’ll keep you up-to-date on the conversations that happen in behind-the-scenes in the comments section.

While you’re at it, why not subscribe to blog posts via RSS or via email newsletter?
Yup, yours truly is the newest member of the Brazen Careerist blogging network.
And since they list their bloggers alphabetically, it seems I’m first for the time being. Yikes.
I’ve had a great time these past few weeks getting to know my readers and fellow bloggers through my twitter profile. It’s addictive!
In fact, I’ve had such a good experience with Twitter that I’ve decided to invite you guys to IM me on a Google Talk account. The username is “guppielife” [at gmail dot com]. I don’t know yet how often I’ll be on, but if you see me signed on, say hi!
I’m flattered that Nina from Queercents featured my recent post “Turning Down Easy Money: a Model’s Story” on the blog today. Check it out at Queercents, or read the original item here.
When I grow up, I hope to be power lesbian like Nina. Girl is a baller. Oh, and she’s mad connected.
This was my second guest post for Queercents— I also had a had one back in October.
Mike from Broken Cupid is holding a contest. The prize: a free copy of the book “Gay and Single… Forever?”
Mike swears by the book, and I must admit he has piqued my curiosity. I like what I’ve read so far. Check out a free preview of “Gay and Single… Forever?” at Google Books.
One passage in particular struck a chord with me:
I had visions of walking hand in hand with my guy to the farmer’s market to pick up a loaf of blueberry bread from a local Mennonite baker, and then we’d go home to cuddle and read on a worn but comfortable sofa that screamed student chic. I was disappointed by my reality. For much of high school I sat on the sidelines and watched my straight peers date up a storm. That I could accept. After all, I was still in the closet, so who would I date? And yet, even after joining gay society, I was still on the fringe, witnessing guys coming out after me and getting into relationships before me.
Stop jumping the bloody queue! I wanted to shout.
Thanks to Queercents for sending me a 1gig USB flash drive and a free copy of H&R Block Tax Cut software!

I just wanted to wish you guys a happy holiday. (And if you don’t celebrate Xmas, happy Tuesday.)
I escaped my family’s madness for a few minutes Monday night to install a new feature here on the Guppie Life. Check it out in the right hand column: It automatically calculates and displays the blog’s most popular posts. Pretty nifty, if I do say so myself.
If there’s something you’d like to see on the blog in 2008, let me know!
I crave feedback in all its glorious forms—comments, suggestions, criticisms, haiku, gifts…. whatever floats your boat, really.
Here’s to a happy and prosperous New Year!
This was a busy weekend for the blog, even though things look more or less the same. I assure you though, the blog has got all new innards after an upgrade to WordPress 2.3.
I also implemented a “Related Posts” feature. So far I’m not terribly impressed with its conceptualization of ‘relatedness’, but I’m sure it will get more relevant as the Guppie Life matures.
As always, let me know if there’s something missing from the Guppie Life that you feel belongs on the blog. I aim to please… (and shoot to kill, but that’s beside the point).
