Still a terrible blogger.

Just in case you were concerned about my lack of posting – fear not! I’m not dead, just a really terrible blogger. Not a consistent poster at all. If only I could just make my entire blog Twitter feeds, perhaps I’d generate some content. Oh, well.

Argh!

I never write. I sometimes even have interesting things to write about that I feel passionate enough to really blather on and on.

 

And then I don’t. And then the interest cools. And then I generally get bored with the topic or just forgetful.

Somethings might just have to be scribbed on a napkin until I get to the PC. Anyways, toodles.

Bunnies in 12seconds!

I’ve been accepted at 12seconds.tv. Let see how I can waste 12 more seconds of my life. I present my series “Bunnies.”

Testing Vodpod out.

Just giving Vodpod a spin. Look forward to seeing how this spiffy 007 trailer comes out from Hulu.

Actually looks pretty good. Wonder what happens to it once Hulu drops it? Poof! Darkness, I suspect.

A very important decision for readers today.

Take this seriously. All votes count. Except those that don’t. And even some that do.

An old woman will give you a sticker when you leave. Thank you for taking part in democracy.

Jingles in my brain.

One, two, three, four. Sha-na sha-na-na-na-na, live for today. Hey-ay.

Time won’t let me; no it won’t. Time won’t let me; no it won’t.

Born to be wi-i-i-i-ild.

I had too much to dream last night, too much to dream last night.

Incense and peppermints, the colors of time.

You can gimme some lovin’, gimme some lovin’.

Bend me, shape me anyway you want to.

Ain’t a-got a-nothin’ yet.

It’s the time, of the season.

Tired of waiting for you-u-u-u.

When I think about the good life you gave me, I cry like a baby.

Why do I still know the song samples from a 30 year old record* commercial? Weird what sticks in your brain forever, no?

Why mention this at all? The other week I was tasked with finding a new sugary cereal to break up the pattern of more healthy ones the children eat. My wife proposed Apple Jacks. At the grocery store, Apple Jacks were totally absent and I opted for Fruit Loops. Mixed success serving them at home – kids can be so picky. I’m not sure Apple Jacks are even made anymore. Though if I have learned anything from the Food Network and the show “Unwrapped”, it is this:

1. There are always people out there who can’t live without their favorite old foods.
2. There is always some odd company whose entire product line consists of food you thought were dead and buried.

Ok, ok. The food is irrelevant here. Ever since I had to go shop for Apple Jacks, I have had the jingle ringing in my ears. I can not remember the last time I saw the commercial –  must be ages. But now I hear “A is for apple, J is for Jacks. Cinnamon toasty, Apple Jacks. Need a good breakfast, that’s a fact. Start it off with Apple Jacks.” Repeat. I know a troublingly large number of jingles this way. You probably do too. For a real laugh though, try and get very specific with the lyrics. You will quickly realize that you really have no idea what the commercial was specifically saying and that you’ve been filling in the blanks yourself for years. Sometimes to amusing and wholly incorrect ways. Sadly, I can’t remember much math. I hope it’s hiding in my brain too.

Gotta go eat now. Probably not cereal.

*Large vinyl disks that held prerecorded music. Replaced by tape and CD. Goofs.

Avoiding politics.

Becoming more active on WP.com lately, I find myself arriving at the front page every so often before logging in. There are many shiny distractions calling out to me to click and read. Being this is an election season, many of the blogs highlighted are feverish political discussions.

I just can’t help myself and click the shiniest, boldest headline.

I always regret it. I don’t have the stomach for other people’s passionate dislike for the opposition candidate. True believers of any stripe trouble me.

Maybe someone is blogging about “101 Uses for Toothpicks.” That’s about my speed for now.

WordPress.com templates.

  I like this current 4-column format, but it is a little narrow. The designer of the template did a three column version, which would be perfect. BUT – there is always a “but.” But that version is  not oneof the free templates that WordPress keeps in stock. Figures, no?  I am now left with either digging into the process of getting another template accepted by WordPress.com, paying to edit my own CSS, or just picking one of the available 3-column templates instead.

  I expect I’m going to take the path of least resistance. Look for a new three column format soon.

  So there.

Not your ordinary scramble.

From Egg Story..

Eggs have hopes and dreams too.

Clearly we have been underestimating them.

I must keep a wary eye on the fridge from now on.

By the way, this story has ninjas as well. Egg ninjas. I kid you not.

Live blogging from my work!

Good grief this is dull.

OK, it was busy earlier, but that’s all over now.

Just as well. I’d rather catch up on my netcasts. I know my imaginary readers are hanging on the edge of their seats though. As soon as I have an update, you all will be the first to know. Really.

OK, I’m probably lying. Most likely I’ll just go crash after this. I’m terrible about stringing you all along. You sit and wait though. You might get lucky.
