Aaarrgh

OK, it's been 10 months since my last confession. Oh so lazy. I feel bad for the folks who stop by here, and I know there are some, for the site meter tells me so. But why are there visitors? Because my pal Lulu occasionally posts my link and what with Lu's site being popular and all, folks see the link and figure there must be something of interest to be found here. My sincere apologies. I may try to remedy that. For the moment, though, I wish one and all a happy Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yarrr.

And a very happy birthday to the entire sisterhood of Sophia.

(Coming next year -- The 19 Project: Slacker's Delight!) Let's see...there are 74 days left in 2007... what are the odds that I will post something on 52 of those days? Stop giggling, Lulu.

But I will post something today. This video is making the rounds, but putting it on here is the very least I can do to help the cause. Watch if you haven't seen it, and spread the word.

Fun Is Frosting

In honor of the birthdays of Sophia and her mighty sisterhood, I have briefly crawled out from under my rock to offer a little extra shortening, piled high... (First person to deliver me a cake gets bonus points.)
