bye bye, love

Tonight I successfully and quite unwittingly removed all traces of love from Tallulahville.....not from my life, but from my website.

Seems one must be a little careful with Moveable Type's handy "Search Entries" feature. Blindly hitting ENTER doesn't just bring up all of your posts featuring the search string in question, it swiftly eradicates the pesky item from your entire site via the adjacent Replace feature. WHOOPS.

Once I realized that my folly sent love packing, I had to embark on a long and laborious search to get it back. And man, isn't that just the way? I wonder if this was a Freudian slip. I've been in a temporary self-imposed Romantic Retirement to clear my head and heart, but in the back of my mind I worry I won't ever be able to come out of it. Like I'll forget how (I know, it's like riding a bike, and that's NOT what I meant, perv), or I'll stage a comeback and no one will care.

Then again, I also eliminated "Google" from Tallulahville in the same manner, and Google's never hurt me, so maybe it doesn't mean a damn thing.
