I'm playing around with the layout of this place for the next couple of days. So if it looks like a bomb went off, just wait five minutes and come back.

As much as I liked the clean front page, I really needed to get links to my writing up here, hence two-column now. Those are the reason I have this damn place online in the first place.

In the meantime, I offer up this: the 11 o'clock news sucks. I'm sick to damn death of stuff like: "Are your venetian blinds secretly giving you and your children leprosy? Tune in tonight for our Eyewitness Action Report!"

To which I must respond, "If my venetian blinds are going to make pieces of my body fall off and condemn me to being the protagonist in a Stephen R. Donaldson series, then you damn well better tell me NOW. Don't make me drive down there."

Anyway. I'm tired. How are you?
