post the hundred-first, 2013

look. i know posting's been sparse. and, i realize now that this here is almost worse than sparse -- to be subjected to this thin gruel, this meatless porridge. but you, all 2.68 of you, my average daily readers, you're just going to have to bear with me 'til i get the hang of this thing again.

i've been filling a lot of my time with angry birds, the star wars edition. HEY. don't judge. i played the original angry birds and found it boring with a capital O-Ring but this star wars edition is over the top. off the hook. down the street and around the corner. it's got gravity fields and and force fields and light sabers, lukes and leias and r2d2s. the gravity fields curve trajectories and cause orbits. the force fields are well nigh impenetrable. each bird has this wicked weapon like a light saber or a ray gun. leia can stick and pull stuff like a little pink bubble gum wad. r2d2 sends electrical pulses. obi wan creates a shock wave. chewbacka just slams the hell into stuff. there are, also, of course, the pigs - regular pigs, space pigs, droid pigs, floaty pigs, sticky pigs, pigs that defy gravity, pigs that defy TNT, pigs hanging from stuff, pigs hiding under stuff. whew. pigs!

so, anyway, lots of star wars angry birds time and very little time spent contemplating the connection between universal truths and our daily lives, much less contriving the grammatical constructions that would communicate those connections to you, my dear, loyal, 2.68 average daily readers.

am i apologizing? no. it is what it is. i don't owe you anything. we have no pact. i am my own man. i will not apologize for having not been here. no. i will not do that... however i will go so far as to alert you that i'm renewing my personal efforts to be here more going forward from now on into the future.
