Me on 365 Tomorrows

It's the new year! Happy New Year, blog! And some, that is none, of you will remember last year when I vowed to blog more. That turned out swimmingly, so this year I am vowing to blog less just to take the pressure off last year.

This post is not only the first of the new year, but one in which I brag about my writing going up somewhere in the vastness of the Internet. Today, my flash fiction piece "Relative Weather" is featured at the amazing 365 Tomorrows. See that's fitting what with us being in the future of 2010, where we'll all get giant blue bodies or if we're bad guys machine exo-skeletons.

Anyway, "Relative Weather" is about relatives who are trapped by weather--get it? Also, an attempt to control said weather that, as expected, goes awry. When will people learn? Probably 2010!

Resolution: More Blog Posts!

That's what I resolved Dec. 31, 2008. And you can see how that's worked out! God, I love breaking New Year's resolutions. The blog is over a year old! Happy birthday, blog! So at a year, it should be able to what...talk?....walk?....crawl, at least?...screw it, have a drink, blog...

So I'm back. Didn't even know I was gone, did you? And on my way back, cruising down once and future interstate 74, I realized the stretch I was bopping along was ceremonially named Andrew Jackson Highway. I blank for a few miles, only to notice the next memorial stretch is called "American Indian Highway." To be followed by...yep, more Andrew Jackson Highway. That's right...irony...happy new year.
