No Blog in the New Year

So, I'm going to start the new year out blog-less. Just to let you know, I'm killing this blog.

Happy New Year!

Autobiography in Five Short Paragraphs --Happy New Year

This seemed like a good way to start the new year. Something that was passed on to me:

Autobiography in Five Short Paragraphs
—by Portia Nelson

(Stories for the Heart, 1996, ed. Alice Gray)
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk.I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my
fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
†
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in. I can't
believe I'm in the same place, but it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
†
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. It's a
habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.
†
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk. I walk around it.
†
I walk down a different street.

Amy Sedaris and MySpace

Somehow I missed this Fresh Air interview with Amy Sedaris. I remedied that this morning. Check it.

In other news...you may never hear from me again as I may freeze to death at any moment. My renovated shack is getting pretty frigid. I can hardly type to add people to my myspace page. OK, so, myspace. I am very ambivalent about it. I keep getting accounts and cancelling them. I may stick with it this time because I'm such a groupie. I love having all my band lists consolidated and keeping up with who is playing where, yadda yadda. I am definitely not down with the distasteful comments on everyone's site. That's where my prudish side comes in. I'm down with the sex workers, not down with flash porn. Go figure.

OK, so, since there is a slim chance that I will post before Soltice or those other holidays, I will wish youse guys Happy Holidays!
