Nine Gram Brain: RIP (Now Updated)

Gah!!


Reminds me of the Trainwrecks demise. January seems to be the cruelest month as far as blog suicides go. Fare thee well, Nine Gram Brain.

Feb. 1 update: Here's an article on the whole Rebecca Eckler blogging controversy. I think it frees me of my obligation to write anything more on the topic.

RIP, indeed.

I'm not even getting that. Just a 404 message. I am grieving.

mm said...

whew. I was counting on you knowing what the heck happened.
I'll try to pick up the shattered pieces of my life and move over to the dictators blog... sigh

Will try for a longer post putting it all in context later this week.

Glad you're back Tearfree. I like Megan's blog too. As for the mole at the drinkup, Lydia and I had her pegged the minute she sat down. She was a complete idiot and she kept running to the washroom--not too obvious. She really screwed my friend, Windy City Writer, and I will never forget it as I am true blue loyal. We have our share of poor writers here in Detroit, but thankfully, none as horribly inept as our inspiration. What we don't have are good blogs like these--it's such a great way to talk things out and know that you're not alone in this big bad world.
BTW, you rock Jacy. Hope your new year is sweet.

Thanks Freepster. Are you a Detroit Freepster or a London Freepster?

Detroit freepster. I work a lot in TO and have several relatives there. So that's why I'm so familiar with the blogs. I have really enjoyed your posts. Sorry your ex turned out to be such a jerk. So far I'm lucky. And I really think it sometimes comes down to that.

Nine Gram Brain jumped the shark after the whole Knocked Up thing.

40-something woman said...

Interesting article but as a 40-something woman, I found it troubling. The implication is that if you're pre-menopausal and beyond, you can't have a negative opinion about anyone younger than you.

It may not be PC to say this but I think what he says about the menopausal poncho wearing women is bang on.

Missing NGB said...

For all those who are missing NineGramBrain, may I present Toronto Scrum!
Toronto Scrum is a new blog, intended to provide a kinder, gentler forum for all those NGB fans who are now homeless.

Homeless blogging, now there's a term I've been waiting to hear.
