Such a coincidence. Before I even read about the new Blog Improvement task to promote members of ‘my group’, I had already plugged vvb32reads blog to an online friend via Twitter — deciding she would definitely love it. I’m a “credit where credit’s due” kind-a-grrl so I usually do a lot of linking and recommending anyway. Well, hear this: it’s good for karma!
Yesterday Graasland was talked about in one of Holland’s trendy newspapers: nrc next. The topic was bentos (of course ;) Good thing I got my bento butt kicked last week! Although my latest lunch — the one that everybody is going to see first — was erm… not one I’m really proud of :\ Oh well, these things happen. Hopefully they’ll have a look at my complete Bento category. And I got plans for a great bento stash this weekend: poppy seed scones! So I hope to stun you again with my next bento, #95 :P
I heard that columnist Janneke Vreugdenhil got a tip about my blog from a tweeter (twitter person). How cool is that? And I wouldn’t have known about the column at all if another tweep hadn’t mentioned it to me. Was there ever a life before Twitter? ;)
Thanks to the article, stats went up yesterday to an awesome 1578 views! Aw. #faint
Here are some cute new bento goodies to look at while Gnoe is recovering ;)
Or, you can hop over to Bento Babe who wrote a nice post about my newly acquired fame ;)

Congratulations! Twitter is such a fantastic connection tool. It is great to see your lovely spike and I hope that your base line has risen above the level it was before. :-)

Well, it’s all very well you being famous, but you do realise that you’ve made me have a sudden craving for the marshmallows that have been lurking harmlessly in a corner of my kitchen cupboard for ages now. I may have to toast some over a candle while watching the latest episode of Dexter tonight… Can I send you my dentist bills?

Hoi Gnoe,
Je site staat vanaf nu bij mijn bladwijzers. Inderdaad gevonden bij Janneke Vreugdenhil!
Leuk dat je over een concert met Reinbert en het Schönberg Ensemble schreef. Jammer dat Jo Kondo’s muziek je niet kon bekoren.. Wij spelen met het Ives Ensemble ook regelmatig zijn muziek. Het is inderdaad heel sober en kaal. Maar dat vind ik juist zo mooi. Abstracte kunst!
Zo nu ga ik verder bladeren in je site, groetjes Josje.

Oh, wat gaaf! En Vreugdenhil is inderdaad ook erg positief over jouw blog (“voelde ik zelfs iets wat verdacht veel leek op diep ontzag”). Kan mij voorstellen dat jij zowel opschept als bloost! ;-)

Thanks all, for your enthusiastic reactions and ever lasting support ;)
@Iris: the scones had to wait but will turn up eventually ;) Thanks for the nice post *and* for organizing a original paper copy of the article for me :))
@farmlanebooks: of course I need to keep posting to keep my baseline up LOL. Plenty ideas, but there’s so little time! :(
@chasingbawa :)) Hall of Fame next ;)
@elma: LOL sorry, hope you’re not *too* mad at me ;) All bills will go into the shredder unopened ;)
@mee: that’s so kind!
@Josje leuk dat je me op deze manier hebt gevonden! Normaal ben ik overigens wel iets actiever met posten dan (nou net) deze week… En na één stuk serveer ik niet meteen een hele composer af hoor ;) Dus wie weet.
@Jonna Ja joh, ik heb wel 3 dagen lopen hyperen hiero! ;)
