Thirteen possible reasons why I will not be blogging today

1. Read eight pages of Cloud Atlas, decided there's nothing left to be said. About anything.


2. Read an article. Finally realized "Internet" is sometimes silly.


3. Saw girlfriend's new wide-screened laptop. Sight of own thin-screened laptop too depressing to contemplate.


4. Received rejection letter for short story in mail. Am saving overdrive gauge for worthy foe.


5. Finished reading the Internet today. Am afraid of inadvertently spoiling the ending.


6. Content-shcontent. Have discovered background images, CSS opacity tricks. Too busy to be bothered with mundane task of "updating".


7. Never learned how to read.


8. Saw (and briefly met) The Dresden Dolls last night. Verbal/linguistic processes still non-functional.


9. Have no broken teeth to report this week. Also, am not Maud Newton.


10. Overcome by belief that sometimes you got the snark, sometimes the snark's got you. Have no idea what that means.


11. Too busy wondering if it's too late for coffee.


12. Got nothin'. Also, am not a reporter. Or, for that matter, important.


13. Suspect lists schtick over used. Too busy sending e-mail to self reminding self to see if anyone's blogged about that.
