What is a blog?

It’s perhaps the most used and abused type of website known to all mankind. Okay, maybe not that Amazonian tribe that’s never had contact with the outside world. I’m not kidding—when a helicopter flew overhead, they shot arrows at it—so they probably don’t have wireless Internet access there.

I know, I know, I’ve been falling behind again

Minimal time, minimal creative juices, minimal desire to write (besides the guilt for leaving people hanging)… I’ll get stuff straightened out soon. In the meantime, have fun watching tonight’s episode of Beauty and the Geek—it could be the final one ever, so enjoy it as much as humanly possible.
