WAG - First, let me explain…


Aliens abducted me.

My dog ate my homework.

I was still morning the passage of "Friends."

Something came up.

My evil twin kidnapped me and tried to kill me, again.

I was in a coma.

My parents were late in wiring bail money.

The Men in Black reneged on their initial offer after beginning to erase my existence.

Voluntary overtime became mandatory.

I overslept… two weeks.

There was car trouble and my Triple-A card recently expired.

Jury duty. ‘Nuff said.

A wrong turn was made at Albuquerque.

My computer crashed.

I went out to find myself and got lot.


Okay. Only the last two apply. Let me briefly recount the true story behind the two-week gap in updates.

I got in a pinch studying for finals and pulling together my last few projects and knew my time could be better spent focusing on my scholastic requirements (or more accurately, as a procrastinator, I knew I could benefit from removing one more distraction from my daily duties).

And then… I reveled in the lack of structure I was afforded for a few days… until closing swallowed up the rest of my semester.

Then, after I had checked my final resident out of their room and taken down my last bulletin board, I was scrambling to pack up my stuff and move things into interim housing where I will spend most of my summer “vacation.”

It is my fortune, however, to spend one week in Sullivan, Missouri before returning my nose to it’s position on the grindstone. It’s a brief break, and I know I’ll only blink and be back to work at the Missourian, but it is appreciated.

I’ll work to keep updates coming a bit more frequently. I shouldn’t have any of the previously listed excuses to pop up again (excepting the computer one).

My apologies to go out to the people who still looked to this site and went away disappointed. To those of you who looked to this un-updated site and were pleased… well… I can’t tell you what I think of you because the previously mentioned group largely consists of my grandmothers. Still, I can think it very strongly. That should teach you a lesson.
