We have reason to celebrate! This is the 60th entry into this blog and the first one of the new year. Oh yeah and happy new year. Wyeah. An arbitrary number has turned into another, though successive, arbitrary number at an arbitrary date of our arbitrary calendar. Oops! I already broke my first New Year's resolution: Don't be cynical about our beloved Holidays! I was railing against Christmas the other day, but won't repeat my rant here. Okay, I will a bit (I know you want to hear it) Basically I was suddenly astonished by the fact that there was a tree growing out of the floor of my Mom's living room, and in response to that development we decorated it with sparkling flotsam on hooks. Does it have anything to do with the wee baby Jesus? Not a thing. Let's go down the list:
Tree in middle of room: nothing to do with baby Jeebus
electric lights on tree in middle of room: not a thing to do with Jeebus
Date of December 25th?: Not one creepin thing...
You get the point and I have continued to break my resolution. Granted I was simply recounting a complaint I made LAST year. So it doesn't count. Shall we move on to my other resolutions which I vow not to break?
Resolution #2: I vow to sit down and create a dialogue between the days of the week. Mr. Monday, have you any unresolved feelings about Mr. Friday?
Resolution #3: More Blog entries that make sense. That means that I probably should not include the results of resolution #2 in this blog.
Resolution #4: When writing my blog, I shall not rise to the bait of other bloggers who will not be named that continue to taunt me and the city I grew up in. I will however make veiled threats against his house and home and perhaps spend hours I don't have to spend photoshopping his head onto various and sundry beasts.
Concerning writing more in this blog, and concerning the end of the "year", I will now calculate the number of entries, averaged per day since my first entry. Let's see, four plus nine, carry the % multiply by carrot...
Hey! That's pretty good! The results of my highly scientific calculations indicate that I have written, on average, one entry every sixth day over the last (period of time in which the earth has completed one revolution around the sun). That's not as bad as I thought my record might have been. I should be able to keep such good records of all my mediocre achievements.
Let's see, I have put out four mouse traps since arriving in New York and I have caught one mouse. Okay, let's take it to the computer: Buuwhee Tak Pahp Buhzzuuuu....
That would be .250 mice caught. Aha! If I were playing baseball that would earn me a spot in the Mariners starting line-up! If they would finally stop fooling with around baseball equipment and start catching mice.
I think I'll ask Magda if we can resolve to get a cat.
i have a chihuahua in my lap. i resolve to make it go away.
miss you guys. can't wait to see you soon!
