The Mayor of Casa Didgeridoo...

That would be me. Or, rather, it will be me. I have a new Droid phone (buh-bye, Edsel/KIN), which means I have gone a little application crazy. Yes, darlings, that means Foursquare. Yes, darlings, that means I actually am considering checking into my home every day so I can be the mayor. (If you're not familiar with the concept of Foursquare mayors, all it means is that you have checked into a particular location more than anyone else in a given period of time.)

I like the feeling this gives me. GoKittenGo, Mayor of Casa Didgeridoo. It's a small thing, but a good thing. I've written about how little control I have over anything that happens here, and how my plans tend to be thwarted in favor of other things, often without my realizing it until everything is said and done. "One" will not be able to do that to the Mayor, will "One"? And since Didgeridoo Boy has no mobile phone and no plans to obtain one for a while, it might be a good stretch until he's able to "overthrow" me. But I'd get my crown back. I'd see to it.

I want to take it further, though. I would like it if Foursquare would add something extra - - if, say, you've been Mayor of a personal location for some time, I think you should have the capability to become "Supreme Deity" or "Happy Victorious Tyrant". And I fully realize this would give me no actual authority - it would just get Didgeridoo Boy's goat a wee bit. "You might insist on putting that ugly thing in the living room, Sweetie, but I am the Happy Victorious Tyrant and nothing will change that. So there."

Ambitions are good, no? And I think I'll take a cape, tiara, and scepter with my title, thanks. Every little bit helps.
