If you have nothing to say...

BATMAN, 1989, a little film that you might have seen? The last heading is a Jack Palance line from that movie, later repeated by Jack Nicholson creepily impersonating Mr. P.

I will not say who or how many quizzically referred to that heading. I understand normal people not getting the reference, but I could probably say horrid, offensive things in this blog and get less feedback from you people than I did about that one random header. Strange.

Then again, according to my tracker info, there are those of you I find consistently lurking about that I've yet to hear from... but that's okay. I understand. Hell, I don't care - I'm amazed anybody reads this.

Random notes...

-Feeling better. Gradually.

-My iPod officially died last weekend. It's been in a coma for some time; the decision was made and its' family was near when the (usb) plug was pulled. I was very sad (angry) when it died (crapped out) but I now am glad it did. See, I replaced my iPod yesterday with a brand new, just released Microsoft Zune. Buy one. I don't get a cut, but I'm sure when Microsoft and China combine their forces to rule the world, I can point to entries like this to aid in my selection for a higher position in the new Sino-Gatesian society.

-I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever. I also got a new coat. It's very spiffy and looks a lot like this. Actually, it is that coat, one exactly like it, made to my measurements. I'm happy to have a coat finally long enough to fit me properly. Why should you care? Well, for every purchase of one of those coats... a person... in a factory... is paid a salary to... I got nothing. There is no reason for you to care. Come on, I've been recovering from an injury for a month, doing very little, I have nothing of substance to blog about! All my writing energy has been focused on my book... ... well, cat's out of the bag there.

I WILL have much to blog on very, very soon. Or at least one thing. Not the book.

I would like to make one proposal. no, declaration. See, 2006 was pretty much a bad year for me. I had a lot of great times, sure, met some great friends I will hope to hold onto for years to come. On paper, though, the minuses have outweighed the pluses by an unprecedented margin. That's not melancholy, I'm basically fine, it's just analysis. A lot went down in '06. Anyway, I've spoken with the board of directors, and we are ending 2006 as of November 21. 2007 will not end on that date next year, it will end as scheduled, it will just begin early and be longer. It will HAVE to be a great year. It will have two Thanksgivings, two Christmases, two holiday seasons! Please adjust your clocks and calendars accordingly. 2007 is going to be great.

And long, apparently.
