Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 
Hello, I Must Be Going...

John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens when you're making other plans."

This past week I made plans, and like a little kid who's irresistably attracted to scattering a stack of neat, organized papers, life came along and hit me with all the subtlety of a cement truck being driven by a cow. The last few days have proven more eventful than I was expected, more work than I'd have preferred, but when all has been said and done...I triumphed over life.

I don't know if this means I get some 1st-Place trophy or a membership to the "Jam of the Month" club, but I'd like to think all my efforts to thwart life's thwarting of my plans deserves some accolades.

Now with all the revampings of my plans, it means I will more than likely be pulling a vanishing act for the next few days. The gloriousness that is the Anime North 2003 convention in Toronto awaits me this coming weekend, and I intend to spend as much of it where it matters: with my fiancee. So if this little bit of nowhere seems oddly vacant, don't feel a need to notify the national guard or even David Boreanez. I'll just be elsewhere.

(Though if this little bit of nowhere winds up being abandoned for more than a week after this post, you may in fact want to notify David Boreanez.)

The Hills Are Alive With The Sound of Baboo

It's not even noon yet, and already the day has consisted primarily of the following:

"Baboo, stop eating the suitcase."

"Baboo, stop eating the blankets."

"Baboo, I told you to stop eating the suitcase."

"Baboo, stop eating my slippers."

"Baboo, stop eating the accordian folder."

"Baboo, stop eating the wicker garbage basket."

"Not the computer cables, Baboo! Don't eat the computer cables!"

"OW!! Baboo, that was my foot! Don't eat my foot!"

"I swear to God, Baboo, if you try eating that suitcase one more time, you're becoming my next pair of slippers!"


Today's Lesson: Rabbits, like billygoats, will eat anything. Even their owners.
