Purely Functional
Well, I couldn't help but notice that it's the 19th of September. And I haven't posted in a week, even though there are certainly things worth posting about.
*sigh*
Life is just so . . . *voice breaks* . . . hard sometimes.
But it is at times like these when we must pick ourselves up off of the proverbial ground, brush the proverbial dust off of our sleeves, lick our proverbial wounds, and . . . What the hell am I talking about?!
I feel singularly uninspired at the moment. I can't remember much that happened this week, really. You can spot the movies I watched over on the right. We played "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Faust" and I was quite pleased by the results of both. Anna, Scholl, Wilson, Gallagher, Martinez, Sharptiano, Randy, Ashley, Audra, Tim, Rachel, Stan, Jenny . . . I think that's everyone who played one or more parts in one or both of those plays. Everyone besides me, of course. Hopefully this week will see a return to the traditional play-night post format.
The real reason for the delay is mainly this: I'm working on two monster posts, and a fairly tricky third at the moment and all of my blogging energies have kind of gone into that. Also I added 6 new names to the Literary Frankensteins list (March in the main page archives). I haven't actually linked up all of the new names, and I may not . . . I ran out of steam at around 2:30 Friday morning while I was working on it.
I had a pleasant Friday . . . watched MST3K after chapel, and did the usual Friday things. Also I destroyed the competition in a game of Trivial Pursuit: Book Lover's Edition before Bible study. I feel constrained, however, to be honest and note that I got lucky a number of times. (If I don't tell you, someone else is liable to.)
Another thing which I must certainly mention is the arrival of a care package from MOCK headquarters in Iowa. Really the only effective way to express my full appreciation for the extra layers of clothing enclosed is to state (as sincerely as possible under the circumstances) that I am now staying warmer than I have these many months. Hopefully I won't lose any more fingers and toes now. This cannot help but be a good thing.
As a closing note: I have no more to say. Words don't come as easily, it seems, when there are larger issues afoot weighing heavily on your mind. Yeah, it sucks. But I'll soon be back! Never fear!
