Huge thanks to everyone who tuned in to Roadlesstaken’s July 10th radio show, as well as those of you who listened to the podcast! I meant to say this earlier, but I had to leave town to attend a friend’s wedding right afterwards and ended up getting sick while I was away (I wonder if that was life’s way of punishing me for not expressing my gratitude sooner…hmm…). You guys were in my heart the whole time though (as always), and the support you showed by listening to the broadcast is just further proof that the bonds which hold us Xangans together are the strongest ones you could ever make.

If you haven’t listened to the show, however–what the f*ck are you waiting for?! The royal baby?!

I’m kidding, of course! But all joking aside, if you want to hear what you missed, click on the picture and you’ll be redirected to the podcast on Roadlesstaken’s site.

Yes, the road with one lone car is supposed to be Roadlesstaken. And yes, I drew Nimbusthedragon as a smiling Dragon Ball riding a nimbus cloud (because I can’t draw dragons for sh*t).

I had a ton of fun doing the show, and have to give a huge props to Roadlesstaken for keeping the conversation fresh and lively. I mean, seriously, the guy’s got impeccable hosting skills. I could feel myself sliding into a nervous silence several times, but he kept me afloat by asking really good questions and adding his own input onto the stuff that was said. And honestly, he’s probably the best source for information and updates on what’s going on with Xanga. I literally learned more about the 2.0 clusterf*ck in the one hour I spent on the phone with him and Nimbusthedragon than I had from Xanga itself. What the f*ck is up with that, X-Team?!

Oooh, speaking of Nimbusthedragon–I had, like, an O-face every time she spoke because (1) she was unapologetically honest about her feelings regarding the Xanga situation, and (2) she said it all with a hot-ass accent. Just thinking about it makes me want to ditch everything and move to Canada so I can spend the rest of my days shadowing her all ninja-like.

All in all, it was one of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever had, and hope it was as enjoyable for you as it was for me. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, then click on the picture and find out!

Click on it! You know you want to!

Be right back! Going to finish my new post now!Β

  1. hiya Sylvia. deux02 here, long time fan. technical question for you though. When you converted over to wordpress, how did you import all your comics to your new site? From what I understand, the xml file downloaded from xanga transfers all the text but all the photos/jpegs/gifs are still hosted by xanga. When (if) the site goes down, I’m afraid all my pics and your comics will become dead links. Am i missing something?

    • Aww…thanks for being a fan! πŸ˜€ As for your question, from the way things stand right now, it looks like we’re going to be stuck with a bunch of blogs with dead links at the end of the month. 😦 But hey, at least you know you weren’t missing anything! πŸ™‚

      The only reason why any of my pictures show up right now is because I first exported my blog into Live Journal and then imported those entries into WordPress (none of my pictures showed up when I imported the Xanga xml file). They’re all linked to my Xanga account though, but I’ve pretty much come to accept that I’ll have to dedicate quite a bit of time manually changing all the links. What a pain in the ass, right? I kind of expected it though, given how awfully pathetic the Xanga Team’s efforts have been in handling this clusterf*ck of its own making… >:{}

      Sorry! I went off on a tangent there. Anyway, there is some hope that WordPress might find a solution in time to save us from Broken Link-dom: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/xanga-to-wordpresscom-import-image-issues?replies=27

      …Unfortunately, however, there was a staff announcement yesterday that they haven’t found a solution yet…

      No matter what, though, I won’t let any dead links on my page stay very dead for long–so don’t you worry about that! >:D

      (Ack! I accidentally wrote you a novel! I’m so sorry!)
