When JO does not post the correct URL of The Box
Last night as I was doing the rounds someone told me I should get the October issue of JO magazine because my blog was mentioned there. I managed to get the issue today and, Lo and Behold!, the URL of Tololy’s Box mentioned was incorrect. My face was as straight as the next wall.
Now while I appreciate being featured under the bold title of “Best of the Web”, I certainly find no sense in directing readers to my old blog (http://tololy.blogspot.com). There was even less sense when I read the paragraph concerned and discovered that it was about my post on the Pope’s speech.
I cannot quite digest the chronological order of events here: I wrote about the Pope’s speech only last month but I stopped using my old blog earlier this year. Why would someone who actually read last month’s post direct people to my old blog?
An honest mistake, I reckon, or artistic suicide.
On a slightly lighter note, I enjoyed today tremendously. It was an epitome of fruitfulness. I received a message from Janet, whom I miss and who in turn misses Eid in Jordan. I also met an old professor of mine and found him healthy and happy and still as delightfully (?) talkative as I recall him. A friend lost since the days of Italiano Uno phoned to wish me and the family a pleasant Eid.
I wrapped up a thicket of official paperwork and paid a little fortune in the process. I went to the library and returned then borrowed some books and, last but not least, I worked for a living and spent time with my family.
If that isn’t a fruitful day, I don’t know what is. What did you do today? Oh and Eid Mubarak to everyone!

Eid Feter Sa’eed to you Tololy…
<br />You know what is the most confusing thing Tololy? When you
open <a href="http://tololy.blogspot.com">http://tololy.blogspot.com</a> it alerts you "The Box has moved to a new
address, come on in! <a href="http://tololy.blogspot.com">tololy.blogspot.com</a> is now <a href="http://www.tololy.com">www.tololy.com</a>" and in 10
seconds it redirects you to this BOX, the only thing I can think for an excuse
is, the address is saved into a bookmark and its copied from there… do you
think sooooo???

Tololy, I thought I commeted somewhere about your blog being in JO; it is also mentioned in the Oct. VIVA bout the hijab. I better get your autograph now!<br /><br />Have a blessed Eid!

I think you are right about this being a fruitful day and I am glad you enjoyed it :)<br /><br />Did you contact these guys at JO to bring their attention to this mistake? I hope they would do something about it and not just say they are sorry …<br /><br />My day was spent at work … nothing special there … I thanked God that I arrived home safely with the way people are driving in Amman these days and they gave them one more day to kill … ahhhh … I wish it was Eid today khaleena nekhlas .. LOL<br />

<p>Eid Mubarak ya Tololy. I miss Eid in Jordan A LOT, especially that H-man is there now, and I’m here all alone. :( Not much of a Eid, but that’s ok! </p>
<p>Hope all is going well :)</p>

<p>Mahdy Hassan, I am not sure what happened. </p>
<p>Kinzi, thank you for the comment. I got VIVA as well and read the Hijab article, it was interesting. And no, trust me, you don’t need my autograph - it’s horrible! Blessed Eid to you too…</p>
<p>Khalidah, kol 3am o inti b khair. I didn’t contact JO people, I posted my protest here and you’re right, people do get crazy towards the end of Ramadan and traffic jams get even crazier. </p>
<p>Bakkouz, o inta o 3eeltak b alf khair. Did I mention that my brother knows your brother? </p>
<p>Lulu, kol 3am o inti b khair… Eid in Jordan misses you A LOT too! But think of it this way; you’ll have your own special Eid when H-man returns home. That’s two Eids instead of one! Take care my friend.</p>
