• This is Not the Poo Blog

  It happened again. Well over 60% of the last eight hours belonged to me and what I might make from this internet connection. Fantasies of what I want to write next and to whom and where to, roiling about between concept and execution, bouncing between the hemispheric lobes. That scorched, empty sensation of countless low scoring games of Bejeweled 2. The dull, bloating pressure of a mass of mounting obligations whose duties I forsake.

  I really should make a list, I thought at various intervals.

  Two nice Xanga things happened to me recently. First, two of my posts were featured on Healthkicker. So that was cool. Next, anamcharaconcepts mentioned me in their post about the best writers on Xanga. And they stuck me in there with some of my other favorite bloggers. Simply ripping, I tell you.

  Although I dispute the label "curmudgeon." Do I really come across like that? Try to think of me more along the lines of a sleek, beautiful cat. And, for the record, I only manhandled one visitor to my blog, and it was well-deserved. I welcome fools and fellows alike.

  Also, I would not say my humor is droll and sarcastic, but dry, absurd and ironic. Sarcasm is mean, and I am more silly than anything. *poo*

  It's the end of my shift and I'm out of time. I did the stream of consciousness thing already. This time we'll try my list of items to accomplish and see if that helps you understand what I'm getting at here.
