MM...Good

This is post 2,000.

That's in 46 months, so that's 43.47 entries a month.

And to think I feel I don't accomplish anything. (Hey, no wise-cracks!)

Thanks to any and all of you who have even read one of these. I appreciate you coming by, even if it's just because you thought you'd see Eva Green, Mrs. Jose Lima, or cat sex. I might not dish up a menage-a-paw, but I will be as silly as possible.

Blogging with Myself

If you go to the JoJo Blog, you can read a post of mine that you might have already read here at INOTBB. And so I said to Mr. Moebius, "Strip."

What Your Average Nuclear Aircraft Carrier Gets You These Days

There are certain things that make you feel you've made it in Santa Barbara. Having John Palminteri know your name.

Or getting a big shout-out in "On the Beat," intrepid columnist/reporter Barney Brantingham's column in the Independent. You have to scroll down to get to the item, but there's INOTBB in all its Iraq War-bashing glory.

The pond is small, but this fish is puffing his gill todays.

Feeling the Power of the Internyets

My entry and Patrick's comment made it in the big city--Curbed Los Angeles referred to us in an entry today about the Bonaventure.

And not one commenter there said, "What do they know, they're Santa Barbarians!"

See, Ma, Those Three Masters Did Me Good

So it is true--INOTBB brings you all the snoot, plus as of yesterday's random Flickr-blogging, more boobs.

You can have it all.

Got Some Clients in the Food IndustryIt's Not the Money It's the Recipes

Or Wednesday Where the Heck Was It Blogging

My loyal reader, perhaps you have noticed that of late I've tried to do some food or drink entry every Wednesday, as that's the day the LA and NY Times both run their food sections, so I wanted to join in on the fattening up of the week's hump. That tradition will end now, however, for I have a paying gig for my food stuff, and if I'm going to sell the cow, I'm not giving my milk away for free. As of today I'm Food Editor over at the Santa Barbara Independent, which means a page of food news a week and a full-length feature mostly every week.

You can go read the first of those now, about Chef Michael Hutchings and his participation in this Saturday's Santa Barbara Wine Festival.
