Like A Giraffe Taking It's First Steps, But With A Gimp Leg

So I've finally set up my first blog. Or rather, my first blog that I intend to keep regularly and make public. Whatever.

Though I've been meaning to do this for a while, the impetus to finally get off my narrow ass and start was my new girlfriend, writer and geek extraordinaire Arinn Dembo. She's actually been encouraging this for a few weeks, but being supremely lazy/ambivalent about these sorts of things I put it off, waiting for the right "milestone" to use as a starting point, or some other bullshit to get out of actually sitting down and writing something. Seeing as I just got fired yesterday from my wage-serf job at Cumberland Farms for snacking without rendering unto Caesar (for the record, Cumberland Farms is a gas station chain that's a subsidiary of Exxon-Mobil. Somehow, I don't feel too bad about it), I figure why the hell not now? Also, I'm bored.

This blog is going to be a pastiche at first, acting as personal journal, news analysis and reporting platform, fiction repository, media review site and whatever the hell else I feel like yoking this free internet workhorse for, at least until I can get enough headway to a) focus in on one thoroughly or b) get each one it's own location. So bear with me, folks. In reality though, you'll probably be reading this after having dredged it up from the bowels of the archives. If so, then hi! Thanks for being such a big fan! There's probably better stuff in the front, though.

So, um...what's going on?

Okay, tomorrow I'm having a big yard-sale (huh, I'd have thought that yardsale would be an actual word by now in American English. Anyway...) to both get rid of some of my now-useless crap (though, let's be fair, alot of it was useless from the get-go. Why did I ever need Pogs?) and earn some extra scratch in preperation for moving in with Arinn. More on that another time. For now though, I will sign off and get back to sorting through my stacks of VHS tapes and affixing teeny-tiny price stickers to them.

...Holy crap, Power Rangers: The Movie? Maaan, I was lame!
