wearing all of your clothes at the same time

Howdy interwebs! It’s been a while, eh? Now that November is (NaBloPoM)over, I seem to have fallen off the daily posting wagon. Given the crazybusy week I had — 28 hrs of adjuncting plus 2 occasions for wearing trouser socks* — I guess it’s not surprising that I haven’t had a chance to blag.
But I’ve missed you, interwebs! Even though I didn’t find the time for as many long posts this year, I still feel like I got a lot out of the constant blagging madness. There’s something to be said for making yourself write every single day, even if it’s only a few sentences.
* Argh, let me take a moment to bitch about the trouser socks I got at a huge chain store that I won’t mention by name (but it rhymes with smarget). They seemed fine in the store and claimed to be my size, but then when I put them on they were too big and the heel rode way up in the back. To fix that I had to pull the extra material down and tuck it under my toes, and the end result was that after walking all of five feet I had elephant ankles. For my second event I ended up taking an old pair of black tights (that hadn’t fit me well up top in a long time), cutting them off at the knees, and using the bottoms as trouser socks, which worked perfectly fine. Chalk up one more for the stingy anti-shopper!
It’s funny: I had a whole list of blagging topics this year that I never even got to. And I won’t get to them tonight, either. I’ve got a pile of email to answer, and Jonathan’s solution to the writer’s strike is to start watching 30 Rock using the 8 million free streaming hours of video that comes with our Netflix subscription that we’ve never used. That Tina Fey, she’s a hoot!
