VaporBlog

You know, I had this really great post lined up about two years or so ago. I had recently purchased a Palm Treo 700p, and there was no such thing as an iPhone, and I was playing so much Solitaire. Then the post expanded as my game count went up. I was becoming obsessed with raising my win percentage. It became a long-term study of my playing habits. Then I was getting close to 1600 games and I was going to get a worse win score on them than I did on my SATs. I started developing a philosophy about the relationship between the difficulty levels of Solitaire and the SATs. Delay, delay, delay. This was becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of blog posts.

I signed up for the GRE so I could apply to Poetry MFA programs, and I thought, "Hey, I should totally incorporate this into the blog post too!" Studying for the GRE took up all of my time. Applications took up all of my time. My phone screen cracked and I couldn't play Solitaire anymore. Machu Picchu took up all of my time. I ordered a new screen online and installed it myself! Moving to Gainesville, FL took up all of my time. Acclimating to the University of Florida's MFA program took up all of my time.

Now I'm in my second semester. Hil and I are both in the program together. Adam got married to Heather and they just had a baby and we're going to London to see them on Saturday.

Look, I finished a post! See? It's not Duke Nukem Forever. It's just Daikatana. Which, ultimately, was not as good as Solitaire.

See how I wrapped that around? Cause, like, I'm a writer. And stuff.
