The bloggers here would like to thank every single person that donated money to us over the past month to keep this blog running through next September. As you can see the thermometer has been removed from the right hand column as we raised just over a $1000. The bill for server space was getting $too large$ as our readership grew larger. The only alternative that we saw was to write really bad entries so that some of you would be disgusted and surf away, thereby lowering our readership. Luckily it didn’t come to that (although I had some bad entries on standby). Most of you also wrote really kind notes along with your donations and I wanted to let you know that each note was read and appreciated.
I also wanted to especially thank five individuals who individually donated more than we could have hoped for:
MD, Brimful, my dad, Dhrumil, and Siddhartha.
When Sepia Mutiny eventually offers an IPO and raises a ton of cash, and then buys and NFL Team as an investment, each of these five people will get a skybox. I promise (except for Brimful who doesn’t like the 49ers).
Abhi if u r worried Brimful wouldnt come for ths skybox, dont worry man, I am here.
U can always count on me……
Well Done! I still think you should start selling some T Shirts! I would love to strut around in my Sepia T! Brown and Proud.
T-shirts are on the way. We are just working on a few more designs. Give us a week.
Congrats! That’s awesome!
You should put the thermostat back, with a very clear 2006-2007 written beside it. And maybe an “about donations” link as well, so newcomers like me know what it’s all about. Hey, if you raise too much money just rent a huge party bus and run across the country and maybe, visit your neighbours to the north as well.
props. though it doesn’t surprise me you managed to raise the cash in such a short time.
Sweet. Though damn you for getting “Fever” stuck in my head now.
Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that’s so hard to bear You give me fever – when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight Fever – in the the morning, fever all through the night.
I too am not surprised. Wish I gave more–you should have advertised the skybox sooner! 🙂 I still want t-shirts though.
Abhi Abhi! I wanna hear the posts that were on standby!
To lose readership and lower our costs, we tried the naked pictures of David Hasselhoff strategy, the fake blog closure gambit and the all-M.I.A.-every-day posture. None of it worked. You guys
suckstuck 😉As Meg Ryan said in When Harry Met Sally, ‘You see? That is just like you… you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you. I really, really hate you.’
Then they kissed.
We can skip that part.
Wait, you don’t need more money? I wanted to buy another Mutineer!
curse you, Saheli! 🙂 just when I got that stupid Pussycat Dolls song out of my head…
yeah but I think the SM chics digged that – and that was probably what shot your bills through the roof
Actually digged this !
Not only do I want to thank SM but I would also like to thank the many commentors with whom we’ve all laughed and cried. But mostly laughed.
(And ARGGH!! My PI just walked into my office AGAIN to catch me idly surfing SM instead of um, writing abstracts/data analysis as I am supposed to be. And now she just brought me a gynormous cookie. Very peculiar. Perhaps it is the cookie of DEATH signalling my impending FIRING.)
Can I have a bite of the cookie. Phluease I am bored and itd 4.35 Friday.
Just one bite?
What is my work as a Tech Consultant?
Browse SM.
So what is my role?
Check the comments in SM every other minute.
How much do I get Paid for browsing SM?
Thats a secret…u guys could figure it out…
So what do I do in my break time?
Look into some stupid Coding. I hate my break time…I really hate it….
Banging my Keyboard! Bang! Bang!
But last night, you said that I was all the mutineer you needed …
Mouseketeer… she said mouseketeer. At least that’s what it sounds like on the videotape winging its way to your wronged lover.
Rupa, two days ago my PI decided to use my computer. I have an RSS feedreader that pops up new stories. As I watched over his shoulder “No sex please, weÂ’re Indian” pops up on my screen in a bubble. He reads it out loud and looks at me very disapporvingly. I was mortified.
DesiDancer is refering to the fact that she received a unique thank you letter for her contribution 😉 Shhhhhhh…
Did he disapprove of the title or of the story? And is he desi?
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I do need you to pick up my drycleaning after you’re done mopping the kitchen.
Sepia Mutiny, where we take the Mahabharata very seriously.
Great news! Keep up the good work all. Hope I get a chance to wear my t-shit before the snow starts falling.
Where do you guys go to design your tshirts?
