Pant, Pant…PANT
Posted by Moose on November 30th, 2006. Filed under: My Brain Needs a Drink.Pointless melodrama, thou art mine. NaBloPoMo was relatively painless. (Stairs after six pieces of pecan pie, not so much.) Sure, the barrel got scraped up to its nether regions, the ones that shrieked pitifully for mercy, but I never resorted to posting pictures of my bed head. Haikus about belly button lint made a brief appearance, but count yourselves lucky, my friends. It could have been so much worse.
Finishing was not a problem. I usually finish what I start. So I generally avoid starting things, just to be safe. Thanks to Madame Fussy for providing me (and so many other lovely blogs) with something worthy of starting.
Today, NaBloPoMo. Tomorrow, the world.*
Maybe not. Conquering the world needs a Napoleonic hat. I don’t have one at the moment, so tomorrow is far more likely to find me staring slack-jawed at The New Yorker thinking, How do you guys procreate so fast? I swear I just finished the last one yesterday. WHY ARE THERE SIX MORE OF YOU ALREADY? (Hint: never again subscribe to a weekly. At least not one that isn’t primarily composed of pictures.)
I bid you adieu. I might be back tomorrow. I might not. YOU JUST DON’T KNOW.
Thus ends NaBloPoMo. Thanks for bearing with me.

*If you hadn’t noticed, grandiosity and I are old pals. We have tea and deconstruct string theory, pretending to know what we’re talking about. Melodrama occasionally butts in, but we shut her up with cookies. I have an entire Greek Chorus at my disposal, people.

I’ve given up on the New Yorker. And I’ve decided that’s OK. It is. Really.

NO! One must never give up on the New Yorker. Even when it got all color photo artsy-fartsy under Tina Brown. Even when they got rid of my favorite last page and replaced it with that annoying audience participation caption writing contest. Never!
One can, however, realize that one will never, ever be Martha Stewart and cancel one’s subscription to “Living”. After all, it’s cheaper to buy soap than make it from scratch.

Congrats Moose on a great NaBloPoMo! Even your scrapings were fun to read. I’m a little sad now, though. I’ve gotten so used to coming to work and reading your postings every day. Now what am I going to do?

Where are the pics of the new haircut, huh? Inquiring minds.
