labour of love
after over six hours of feverish, painstaking grunt work, i birthed a brand-spanking new blog. here it is. as you scroll down, admiring the clean layout and the fancy amazon.com thumbnails, yes, your eyes do not deceive you... i have indeed transferred all of my postings, appropriately timestamped, from xanga to blogger. this, my friends, is love in its rarest, most obsessive-compulsive form. and... i actually like it. in fact, i think that i'm really infatuated with it.
so... this has all happened so fast, and i want to thank a few people who've been so supportive over the last 24 hours.

first, to my beloved twiggy plants man, paul. thank you for being honest and constructive in your criticism. please, though, don't be too honest about the color scheme (i know what you're going to say: "muddy," but let's agree to call it "safari")
thank you aja, for affirming that xanga does, indeed, suck, and giving me that one last nudge i needed to move to blogger. you'll note the strong influence middletownexpat has had on the new and improved cheeky monkey. and, thanks for joining me in being trivial on the internet.
bo introduced me to the blogosphere four years ago and held my hand today when i made the big move. he walked me through linking my recently purchased domain-name to my recently-created blog. gave me tips on stat counters and search engines. and, he even said that being featured on my blog was cooler than being interviewed for the new york times. which was really sweet. thank you!
lastly, thank you xanga for sending me a sign today when you were unavailable for 12 hours, leaving me no recourse but to procrastinate by plotting my move, purchasing my domain name, and discussing with my co-conspirators. oh well. its been real.

ta-da! my new blog... enjoy!

YES! First, i actually love the color. Maybe im being weird, but it looks so much mellower and nicer than it did on xanga. Im so impressed with the anal-ness you have exhibited by moving all your posts over so meticulously. Im sao proud, it makes me teary eyed. :)
I, too, would not have tagged you for the anal type. But I'm glad you are, because this...well, this is glorious.
