Hey guys, this is just a note regarding the site’s functionality after it moved servers yesterday. The move is complete. All should be working as normal.

However, as is possible with any upheaval, some things may be broken that I’m not aware of, post-move. Sorry to anyone who found the site down at any point yesterday. So far as I know, the database problem has been fixed. Everything should be working/ you shouldn’t be getting any site errors. If you’re seeing any weird site errors, please clear your browser’s cache/ cookies and refresh the page. If you’re still having problems loading/ using the site in any way, please leave a COMMENT here or email with details using the Contact page Thanks.

This is just a quick note to say Merry Freakin’ Christmas to each and every reader that has stopped by AmyGrindhouse.com in the last year. This site is starting to mature a little, as are the readers on it. Like we’re all ageing Disney stars whose voices have deepened and so no one wants to cast us anymore.

Being mature kind of sucks. You can get away with a whole lot, when you’re too young and stupid to know otherwise. But, alas, another year has gone by and I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve learnt a few lessons along the way. I’ve learnt to spend more time blogging and less time crack-picking. To swear less and think more. Most importantly, I’ve learnt not to do Christmas shopping the week beforehand and expect to escape with your front teeth intact. On an almost serious note, thank you to all those who stopped by here and were disappointed with what you found. My life would not be complete without your comic sans/ caps-laden emails. I love you all almost as much as I love sleeping until noon. I love you all as much as I love spell-checking. And I love you all, just that little bit less than I did last year. Like, you were my only/ favourite children this time last year and now you have a little sibling who’s cuter, drools more, and has go faster stripes. I still like you, but I may become disposed to only showing affection when sauced or when in the company of relatives. Well, I’ll be with the fam December 25, as I should be. I’ll be writing sporadically, and looking up what the word sporadically means over the next few days. I should be back in full swing, by all accounts, starting from either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

In the mean time you can watch some cool videos on the site’s TV channel or visit some of my blogging friends, whom I don’t call to as often as I should.

Woohoo…

For the third time, a blog birfday falls on a weekend (SON OF A B*TCH…) and I know all my crack-addicted readers will be in the gutter and not online reading my site. I was totally not going to write myself a birthday post for my first year anniversary running the site. But then I thought, screw it… it’s been a damn hard year and I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m not, as you will know by now, quite articulate enough to express it… but I am ever so grateful.

First off, it would be easier to state what great things I have managed to avoid. Traps, if you will, that I totally thought I would fall into within the first year. I assumed that within a year of sharing my caustic (lack of) wit with people it would wear out and expire. Like, it’s in short supply and within the first few weeks I would have run out of things to say and I’ll end up running a site as (subjectively) personality-free as I deem some others to be. That seems not to be the case, and though I swear a little less as I get older, by no stretch have I run out of peen, vadge, crack or alcohol-based jokes to share with the masses. Other people’s actual rehab is my crack and I feed off it like Hohan feeds off of cokey snorts.

I managed not to run the site into the ground, yet. I managed not to pee off too many people  – try as I might. I managed not to develop one of the many substance abuse problems I mock these celebridiots for. I also managed not to have the complete breakdown I was predicting. I’m a little disappointed about that last one; what can I say, I’m still working on it.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the incredible fellow bloggers, media agencies and news agencies that have supported this coke wh*re of a mess blogger and her grammatically woeful escapades. Thank you too readers – for not judging my total lack of ability to punctuate a sentence. I prolly could if you tried…. but I’d have to come down first and that’s a lot of trouble to do umpteen times per day. Sorry.

Here’s to another happy addiction-free year!

Happy birfday to me…

So, I’m kind of an idiot as I totally meant to mention this earlier today. I’ve just created a brand new official fan page for you all to join on Facebook. All you need to do is click on “Become a Fan”, on the widget at the top of the sidebar. The page will be used to post stories of course, but more than that, it will also have gossip snippets not featured on the main site.
