Rather than subect you, my one dear reader, to the suffering that would no doubt be your lot as you struggled through some bone-chillingly boring rumination on my life in this year of 2007 now drawing to a close, I will instead inflict upon you a run-on sentence of such magnitude - or at least of such magnitude as I can manage in one sitting - and one in which I rather suspect I have already lost any pretense at meaning or reflection, that you will have long since stopped reading it before you got to the the point of it, which is of course the very pointilla or period with which it fnord ends.
That and a list of the first sentence of each month's first post concatenated with the last sentence of each month's last post.
Clear?
Then without further ado, and a ending in a small bit of recursion, I give you...
January: Please allow me to wish for everyone a happy and prosperous new year. The upshot: "we came away shaking our heads, disappointed. Compared with Mac OS X 10.4, Windows Vista feels clunky and not very intuitive, almost as though it's still based on DOS..."
February: Catholic Schools Week is over for another year. Wow.
March: This story in the New York Times actually made me cackle with glee: Thanks.
April: Also known as Palm Sunday. The US Senate has voted to approve a bill which requires US troops to start withdrawing from Iraq by October.
May: The other day, I was at St. James Cathedral in Seattle for a school function. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
June: Just some random things I've discovered in the last week. All will become clear... soon.
July: Best response so far: Sleep now.
August: (Tightly filtered and not for public consumption) Nerds, unite!
September: Attention potential Cruenti Dei players: Back home, and I can't remember a better shower.
October: The followers of Nietzsche and Foucault are passionately persuaded that truth is a mere rhetorical device employed in the service of oppression, and say so at length. (Henry V, William Shakespeare)
November: This Saturday, Freighthouse Square is hosting Tacoma's first annual literary convention: Tacoma Word! Try it; it's fabulous!
December: That's just fabulous. ... and therefore I believe the President and Vice President of the United States must be impeached.
Some things I've learned from compiling this list:
I tend to start posts with sentence fragments.
October was a quote month. November was an exclamation point month. I'm not sure which is worse.
Windows Vista still bites.
And now, my friends, I will prepare myself for Tacoma's First Night by dressing as a pirate. A happy new year to you all!
(... and therefore I believe the President and Vice President of the United States must be impeached.)
