I Hate 'Blog'
Hello there!
This is a very inauspicious beginning, since I plan to begin with a rant on why I don't like the name 'blog'. Yes, I do understand the wonderful accordian-action with the words 'web' and 'log' which created this new term, but that don't mean ah like it, hon.
It reminds me of my brother's experience in first year at U of Waterloo, where the frosh were forbidden from having scavenger hunts (on the grounds that they created havoc for the city). Being smart geeks, they simply continued to have their events, renaming them 'havenger scunts', which then got shortened to 'scunts'. It should be fairly obvious why I don't like this term, seeing as how only the weak and frail 's' keeps it from being a word so dirty I don't even like to think about it (It's equivalent to the shocking power 'fuck' had for our parents generation, I think).
anyways, all this is a long and rambly way of saying to my all-powerful webmistress to please change the name. I know that "Bento's blog" is beautifully alliterative, but I still don't like the term. It sounds... vulgur. Please rack your brain for something else alliteratively amusing.
As for the rest of the site, I like it so far. Clean, modern, easy to read -- very enjoyable. As long as the dancing food doesn't have cheesy music to go along with it, I'm fine.
cheerio and goodbye,
bento.

this is just a template for until I get the site done. i'll send you pictures before I change anything, don't worry. ^_^
I'm v. bored at work, so I'm going to let my mind wander on post titles:
"bento's lunchbox"
"being bento"
"bento goes blarg"
"uncontrollable burping" (which doesn't have "bento" in it but it made me laugh)
"insert title here"
Actually, maybe I'll call *my* blog "insert subplot here". Has a good ring, eh? Plus it describes my life. and it's getting away from the alliteration. Which I think I might be outgrowing, or something. Weird.
Anyway.
"bento's rant-o-box of doom"
"dankmar" ('cause everything's better when it's named dankmar)
"vixen-haired temptress"
"bento's backtracks"
"Bento Gets A Ring Stuck Up Her Nose And Other Moments Of Hilarity"
"laundry mishaps"
"bento's deathtrap"
"uh... i forget"
anyway, have to get back to work. will try to think up others.

How does one have vixen hair? Anyway, here are my suggestions:
"Reflections of a Blorthead"
"Bento's Drive-by Baptism Parlour"
"Save me Jebus!"
"Bento Does Cyberspace"
"Arms Flailing Wildly"
"Forehead of Doom"
"Bento the Boozehound"
"Crockpot Musings" (mmm...crockpot)
"Chesty LaRue"
But Bento Goes Blargh is nicely alliterative too. Mmm...cheerios.

The vixen-haired temptress is a reference back to a role-playihg game Biku and I did once, in which I (in true Mary Sue fashion) half-jokingly insisted I had to be a vixen-haired temptress. Biku quite rightly pointed out that 'vixen' is not a colour, but accepted my counter point that 'raven-haired vixen temptress' was too long, and that this got the Mary Sue-unnattainable-glamour point across quite nicely. Also, while I am definately NOT raven-haired, I could certainly be vixen-haired, if I so chose.
