this friday is so tuesday

a little something to perk up your day.

two ways to spend your hard earned dough

buy me a cup of coffee.
or lunch or dinner for that matter.

click the will blog for coffee graphic located in the dark green middle column, enter the amount you want to donate, and select a payment method. i'll go to starbucks, sit at a table for two with an empty chair, and think of you while i sip a chai latte, or whatever it is you buy me (you are so nice!) i may even have a pretend conversation with you (you are so clever and witty! i'd forgotten!) that is, unless you buy me dinner. which means i'll be sitting at a table in mamma mexico by myself. thinking of you.

shop at the tuesdays amazon store.
how can i share stuff that i like with you, my close friend?

here's how: tuesdays has it's own amazon store. the tuesdays store is chock full of stuff i think you should own. click on this fancy logo (there's one in the far right sidebar too.) categories range from books i've actually read (read 'em and weep) to all the music i forced you to listen to in my parents basement 30 years ago (gay boy record party.) when you buy something, i get a suitcase of money. when you click through to amazon.com from the tuesdays store and buy stuff, i get a monkey (i've always wanted a monkey.) if you buy enough stuff, amazon sends me the elephant man's bones.

there've been some changes to tuesdays in the last few weeks. the entire blog may look a little different to you: some things are wider, some more narrow. some things have disappeared, some things are new.

what i hope you haven't missed is that huge chunks of some posts are now hidden. if you see the words read more at the bottom of a post, that means you can click there...to uh...

...read more! or see more. or watch more.

often large video files, or photos are hidden in those clicks. this allows you to more easily browse stories, read a few lines, and decide if you want to continue.

as always, there's an email link at the bottom of the blog to send tips, suggestions, or to let me know that something isn't working quite right.

and if you're one of those people who likes to clean up after yourself, you can click on summary only to contract a post once you've finished reading it.

here, try it:

did you floss today?

some things are important enough to do everyday. like flossing. calling your mother. avoiding those clipboard wielding greenpeace folks in union square. and reading something new on tuesdays.

if you're checking in to tuesdays today because...well, it's tuesday...here's a bit of spanish news: tuesdays is new everyday. okay, almost everyday. the title of this blog, misleading as it is, does not mean that tuesday is the only day there is new stuff here.

the title of this blog refers to the day back to work in the theater; monday is usually the day off. and no matter how much you love playing the third sorority girl from the left in your big hocha broadway show, or how badly you want to get back to doing your splashy tap solo in "all night strut" at the bristol riverside theater...tuesday is still your monday.

click on through

as you read and click through tuesdays posts, new and old, i offer one small bit of encouragement: explore a bit.

for instance, let's talk links. sometimes a link is just a link and it will lead you to more information on a given subject, or to the source of a quote, or to a pertinent website with fancy pictures and more links.

but sometimes, a link isn't just a link. it's a actually a link.

my life as a carny

being a bit of a baby blog, you do what you can to attract new readers. that includes being active on other blogs, annoying your friends and family, and so much more!

then sometimes, you get lucky. i was lucky enough to just be mentioned by taylor marsh on her widely read blog, which in turn brought tons of traffic to this site.

blog carnivals are a way to get your name and your writing out there. the carnival host lists blogs that have been submitted, and folks get to peruse and check out new stuff. hopefully, some of them hang out, come back, and visit often.

i mention this as A) a welcome to anyone checking out tuesdays for the first time, from today's new blog showcase at pet's garden blog. and 2) as a way to perhaps send some of you back to this page to check out some other newbies (i enjoyed carolyn's vanilla latte post at the beernut gallery, and there are some great sunset photo's of hawaii at local kine.)

kay-yogi dot what?

as you're telling your best friend from high school or your family dentist about this blog, i'm sure the conversation eventually swings around to "what are we gonna do about that molar?" or "did you hear old coach pickler had an affair with mrs. wyler in the guidance office?"

and then, as you're rinsing, they say "oh yeah, that blog you mentioned. how do i find it?"

and you spit and say, "um...it's kay starr dot something-or-other. obi won cannoli. kay-yoda dot yogi bear...oh dagnabbit, i forget."

well. first, try not saying things like "dagnabbit".
then, try this: tuesdaysblog.com

from now on, you'll be able to say "i wasn't on the tennis team" or "let's deal with that molar when i come back for a cleaning" or "what exactly were you doing when i was anesthetized?" or, more importantly "that blog? oh! it's at":

tuesdaysblog.com

(p.s. if you've bookmarked or subscribed to a feed from kayobi.blogspot.com, no worries. you needn't change a thing right now.)

gee...is it too soon?

whaddya think...is it too soon for t-shirts? (the front has the tuesdays logo and kayobi.blogspot.com; the back says is it tuesday yet?)

everyday is tuesday

a couple of folks, in passing, have mentioned that they enjoy reading tuesdays on tuesday. it's occurred to me that perhaps the title of this blog is a bit misleading.

tuesday is not the only day new posts are published. the blog is updated pretty much every day. sometimes two, three times a day. sometimes.

so why not make wednesday tuesday? why not do a little exploring, and see what was up last thursday. or saturday. did you maybe miss that great post about jim j. bullock last friday?

and keep your eye on that green column to the right for a proper definition of tuesdays. coming soon.
