The number of visitors to this site doubled (!) from Monday to Tuesday. Crazy. I mean, there's been nothing new on Anarchy Online since before the weekend, so what gives? Maybe we've managed to hook a new generation of Regular Readers. Or maybe it was yesterday's return to more innocent times, with a brief report on the weather, accompanied by a few good book recommendations. Could be. Could very well be. So let's stick with what works, shall we?

The weather is holding up, and I'm pretty sure I'll be taking the next few days off to sit outside, read more good books, and gaze surreptitiously at all the pretty girls (that last bit sounded more than a little creepy, actually. But hey, the pretty girls gaze surreptitiously at me too, so it's all right!). Don't worry, though - I'll still log on every few days to update my journal. After all, what would you do without me? Write your own online journal? That's not enough. We're all dependent on living vicariously through other people - me included - and you're hooked. Admit it, you are. You want to find out What Happens Next. So with that, I'm introducing a brand new feature in this journal. It's:

Next Week, in Ragnar's Journal...

We find out what Ragnar ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...every single day! The weather is described in painstaking detail, using flowery language liberally borrowed from whatever author Ragnar currently favours! More Anarchy Online controversy, including the answer to the most-asked question: "Whatever happened to the leet-farming feature you promised us?" Sex! Violence! Book and movie reviews! Arses! And the shocking return of someone you prayed you'd never see again: Evil mirror-universe Ragnar!

All new, all next week, on the WB's- uh, on RagnarTornquist.com's "The Journal".

Yes. That's exactly what next week's going to be like. So stick around. The ride's...just begun.  ¶ 12:15
