My readers seem to be increasing quite steadily lately. Either that or they're just starting to comment more. So to all recent devotees of The State I'm In, I bid you welcome. All are welcome here, young and old, friend and foe.

These are a few of my favorite blogs right now:

Maimed by Rock and Roll is the coolest Wilco fan on the Eastern Hemisphere. Linus is from Dublin; The Bob Show is truly an experience; and thanks to Mark's constant plugging of my site and others', I welcome the Deconstructionist, the Winter of Discontent, and the verbal chameleon. (Mark is the king when it comes to talking about other bloggers, and I visit many that he links, but I feel like if I leave too many comments out there it'll seem strange. Is that wrong?)

Phew, that's a lot of links. There are plenty more that I have been reading lately, or that have recently left virgin comments, but I'll get to them at a later date. (I'm talkin' about you, Starved Artist!)

As I said before, all are welcome here. I don't discriminate too much in who I count as friends or readers. I figure, the world's a pretty dark place, you might as well have as many people as possible that you can call a friend.

Plus, when the Robot Holocaust comes, I want to have plenty of people in my secret underground army.
