down!

(This whale is not down, but he is upside-down.)
We’re back up, folks.

Back in my early blogging days, I probably would have stressed myself into an ulcer if I’d been denied the ability to update my site for 24 or so hours.

Last night, I worked, and went to bed. Then got up and worked again this morning. Blogging? What’s that?

BUT… you’ll be excited to learn that I have an exciting BUS STORY coming. And by exciting, I mean slightly gross/terrifying/awkward/blogworthy.

So stay tuned. And that means you, Dad.

many irritating things.

Leaky travel mugs
Setting off the smoke detector while attempting to make dinner (and without any actual burning going on)

People who don’t hang on to anything when they stand on buses (thus falling on everyone around them)
The very idea that some people still use Internet Explorer
Clammy handshakes
The phrase “I hate people” (even if you do, it’s a bumper sticker now)
Sour candies that aren’t terribly sour but say SOUR
The exclamation “Swine Flu!” when you emit anything REMOTELY like a sneeze or cough
Cars driving through puddles and redistributing the puddle on people
