If it’s Monday, and if it’s been an especially eclectic week, it’s recap day.
Yeah, it seemed that the topics were much more varied than normal (quiz results don’t always transition into a thanatopsis, or a meditation on death [an old vocabulary word I use for the sake of the high school English teacher that pounded it into my head]).
I skipped Thursday, for various reasons, but more than doubled my usual output on Saturday. This is the combination of what happens when I let certain subjects stew too long and the accumulative effect of walking past a cemetery every day.
Anyway, here’s the recap.
Last Monday, March 20, I wrested with the elements and finally concluded the long-delayed Valentine’s epic.
Tuesday I recount a bizarre phone call and how it seemed to freak other people out more than me.
Wednesday was a standard quote log day, where some of us displayed our musical inclinations… or our lyrical mental disorders. I’m still not entirely sure.
Thursday I didn’t post. Sue me.
Friday I indulge in the time-honored and brain cell-saving practice of doing online quizzes. Strange results and personal commentary on the previously mentioned results follow.
Saturday I give a voice to some long brewing observations and opinions about obituary conduct. I think it’s better to say something nice today than save the good lines for tomorrow (but if you still want to repeat the flowery words after someone’s death, pay for an advertisement and save yourself and a copyeditor some trouble).
To come: Babblings on insurance benefits, the monthly music review, and whatever catches my fancy… probably something shiny.
