View From the Bushes

Sometimes (okay most of the time), I struggle to think of something to write about in my blog. It's particularly bad today because I've actually had some pretty good days and so I really don't have anything to whine about. As you can imagine, this eliminates 90% of my traditional material. I could talk about my car's electrical problems, but that would be too boring...

I could talk about the Gay Marriage Amendment, but that's too political. I could mention that it takes 1.8 tons of material to manufacture a desktop PC and monitor, but that's about all there is to the story. I could mention that publishers have refused to pick up the latest book by a writer of "Chaste Mormon Fiction," but that seems like something that would only interest the locals. I could mention the irony of Kerry voting against the 87 billion dollars to fund military operations in Iraq and then complaining that the troops didn't have "enough firepower and support," but if my readership is representative of the country at large, then I could alienate half of them with that one comment.

I could talk about NWN: Hordes of the Underdark, but I really haven't played it enough to opine yet. I could talk about the nightmare I had last night where my wife had died, but I don't really remember much except that it was a lot of work taking care of all of the kids and the idea of dating again filled me with an enormous amount of dread. I could talk about the Tour de France, but it seems premature, even for me. I could talk about nothing, a tactic which has worked with reasonable success in the past... oh wait a second, I already did.
