I am still loaded up with stuff to do and just can't seem to find the necessary concentration skills to make any headway on it. Need to, though. Not only that, I can't quite concentrate on something to include here, either. It's all just a bunch of random stuff.
For instance: So Pluto's not a planet?
My response? Who cares.
SEE!? That's no way to do a blog post! It should be loud and stupid and call for something like blowing it up if it's not a planet. And then Frank J. could claim I'm ripping off his Nuke the Moon! schtick, and we could get in a big slap fight about it.
Something else, then. Mmm--what about newborn albino pygmy marmosets?
My response--Awwww. Who cares.
AGAIN--that is just no way to put out something with punch and vigor! I should be all over that story with bright ideas for a new line of cornbread-battered and deep fried marmosets on a stick--or even better--MINIATURE cornbread-battered and deep fried marmosets on a toothpick. MiniCornosets! But no. It's just too obvious, and it's not even worth the trouble. Nor would it be worth mentioning that it might be cool to stuff a whole bunch of them into a little plastic barrel.
What about Logitech unveils new cordless laser mice ?
My response: Who cares.
I mean, I SHOULD care, what with there being an obvious "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering" angle just ripe for a stupid riposte, but I just can't work up the necessary effort to go find the required Pinky and the Brain fan site that has the canonical list, then find something completely unrelated like, "I think so, Brain, but, the Rockettes? I mean, it's mostly girls, isn't it?"
Maybe I'll redecorate around here. Maybe some nice curtains, or a change to the font sizes, or a picture of a buffalo or something.
Nah. Too much trouble.

If I had a cordless mouse I would lose it.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at August 24, 2006 11:17 AMI keep thinking I should redecorate my website, but I'm too busy gestating and fixing up my house. The website will just have to wait in line.
Posted by: Jordana at August 24, 2006 02:00 PMOh, your site's fine--I think we're both (or all, if you count Beau Gestate as the third) just bored today.
