BMD -- Blogger Mood Disorder

Look, if it's enough to get an Instalanche, I think I'm suffering from a chronic case of BMD.

There are two syndromes closely related to BMD:

• SiteMeter Fever -- A neurosis typified by obsessively refreshing your SiteMeter to see if your traffic has increased since the last time you checked it, seven minutes ago.
• Bloggernoia -- This psychotic disorder involves the suspicion that other bloggers have malevolent motives for not linking you. "Don Surber is just envious of me!"

Shameless traffic-whoring is not actually a disease, however. A moral failing, perhaps, but not pathological.

Did somebody mention Christina Hendricks?
