Hot Fuzz

Thumbs up. It was good.

"...Narp?"

Saturday afternoon

I suspect that I am somewhat lazy when it comes to things like updating a blog. I'm not sure what the deal is... I know it's not discouragement due to the lack of an audience (for which I'm thankful; I really wouldn't want to bear the responsibility of an echo returning from the great abyssal downspout of the internet). I certainly have the tendency to write randomly, and I actually take a kind of masochistic pleasure in trying to write things that are sensible, amusing, or -- at least -- legible.

Heck, I even like to read blogs, at least in a general sense.

Hmmm.

I would be willing to bet that my attention span plays a part. For example, right this moment, I'm rather bored with this post. I've given up, already, on saying anything useful. I'm fantasizing about playing video games.

Ooh, now Andrea's distracting me with a question about the landscaping. Perfect. I'm out.

Which reminds me: "Quote" does not equal "Quotation"

This is one of the things on the "Their not they're in there room" list of Internet grammar annoyances. I'm sure that such things have been blogged into non-existence, so I won't belabor the point.

Which reminds me: Did you know that Osama bin Laden spent time in Greeley, Colorado? The jokes could write themselves.

Quotes are funny things

As an example, for some reason I find this -- for at least three reasons -- quite inspirational:

"Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, 'Give me your best shot. I can take it.'"

Another day, another blog...

In the spirit of honesty, I must mention that this blog will most likely starve to oblivion due to my inattention (Rest In Deleted: shanewallace.wordpress.com, thewall.unc.edu, etc.).
