I don’t often check the whole Technorati thing, but because I’ve been stuck at home, all alone, and there’s not much to do when someone is a bit on the sick side, my sick self thought “I wonder how I’m doing ranking wise in the classical music type of scene out in blogville.”

Well, sadly, I’ve moved down in the world. Sigh. I guess I’m no longer as popular as I was … and I never was all that popular. What to do, what to do? ;-)

Anyway, due to my obsessive compulsive behavior I put together a list of those who are sort of on the higher side. If I were a good girl I’d continue on, as Scott did last December. But I think I should stop now.

Now for some reason I can’t get the info on twang twang twang when I plug that URL into Technorati, so if anyone can help me out on that, go right ahead! And of course if I’ve left you off just say the word. I’m happy to add more. I’m just getting lazy and I think I’ll stop.

So why bother with any of this? Of course most of it is pure “Am I still loved?” sort of stuff, but, well, maybe some of you will be check out some of these other sites. You might find some sites you really love!

Update
From ACD (even though he doesn’t think highly of Technorati: Technorati has Twang, Twang, Twang ranked at 177,108.

So there you go.

Yesterday evening I started to feel funny. Not funny ha-ha, but funny yucky. at 4:00ish this morning I finally took my temperature. I have a fever.

I just like to blame someone, although I’ve not a clue why! Maybe because that way it isn’t my “fault” (how can getting sick be someone’s fault anyway?). Terry seems a likely culprit. Having never him in person I suppose it’s unlikely that my illness is his fault. But still … he’s sick. Now I’m sick. Coincidence? How could that be? ;-)

In any case I had to call students and cancel lessons for today. I guess I won’t be going to see “The Lives of Others” with mom today, either.

But I’d better be well by Monday. I don’t have time to be sick. It’s not on the calendar … but plenty of students are, and I don’t want to keep cancelling them.

Hmmm. Speaking of students, I wonder if one of them gave me this bug. Double hmmm.
