Okay, so here's my New Year's resolution-- update the blog more. What can I say, I'm a slacker.

Actually, now that I'm blogging for a living, I feel less like posting because while I don't feel burnt out, I feel like I'm pretty much done writing by the time it comes to the point where I'm supposed to do this blog. I don't know how novelists do it-- I write a few posts a day and I'm done.

But, on the other hand, where else am I going to go to write about the death of Gerald Ford. Is anyone else kind of mystified by all the hullabaloo? I mean maybe it's because I was still kind of young when he was President, but he always came off as kind of an amiable, bubbling accident of a President. You know, he was kind of a B List President. After all, you don't really hear any cries for a restoration of the Ford presidency.

Or maybe it's because he was bald.

And speaking of death, I never got around to the whole Steve Irwin thing. What the hell was up with that. Dude does some show on the Discovery Channel and when he died it was almost like when Princess Diana died. I half expected Elton John to do some song to honor him, you know like "Goodbye Aussie Rose."

Fricking silly if you ask me
