May I introduce to my readers two little additions to our life: Ripley (on the left) and Drusilla (on the right). Just settling in and already hatching evil plans for house domination.
A quick shuffle back through my records reveals the somewhat shameful truth—only about thirty blog entries during the whole of 2007. I’d be amazed if I had any readers at all beyond a few friends, though I do know a few boardgamers drop by now and then to download my game reference sheets.
I really do have to pick up the pace a bit, because I do enjoy having a blog. It just gets relegated to the bottom of the ‘to do’ pile too often. I’ve been planning to change my blogging system for a while so that may give me the impetus to jazz things up a little round here.
Anyway, let’s kick off the year. Pat included me in one of these ‘viral meme’ things (who comes up with these wanky names?). I have no idea what the point is (actually, maybe I’ll pick up some new readers …), but here goes …
The Rules:
So here goes, eight things you didn’t know about me:
There you go, now you can go forth into your day with a little bit more knowledge about Headless Hollow. Lucky you!
Now, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spread this somewhat benign virus. I’m talking to you Reverend, Atlas Cerise, Steelbuddha—hold on, I don’t read eight other blogs! Who has the time?
Have a good one, Headless Hollow readers (all four or so of you)! May 2008 be a year of unfettered happiness, intellectual stimulation, creative satisfaction, unconditional love and personal fulfillment for you all! My fervent hope for a year in which the world enjoys a bit more tolerance, freedom, equality and understanding than it did in the last 200,000.
And don’t forget your Armour of God kids!
For some reason, my girl and I share the same affliction: we tend not to carry our loose change around much. We had two very full coin bowls in the house, and another bagful she’d been lugging from house to house for a few years. So we decided to finally count all these coins and take them down to the bank. And as we started counting, I started laying them out in neat rows on our tiled floor … OK, so I have a mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder. Anyway, it looked good. And it made them easy to count.
How much you ask? $1,128. In coins. Onto the mortgage.
