Tales from the duvet

Well, first I was not blogging for a bit.

Then, I was not blogging a bit with the ‘flu.

I’ve been down with the dreaded lurgy since Sunday, and just got back on the computer yesterday, for some tentative emailing. I still feel like ick, but I am now so completely bored with reading and television that I am ready to tear my hair out.

Just now I realized that I had popped the evil box on and sat down to look at the internets (as multitasking is my habit, even when unproductive), but had not chosen a program. The box is evil. The box wants you to look at the pretty lights. The box does not want you to change the channel.

So I typed away, and Keanu Reeves (ugh) was talking to some blond chick, and it was so inane, but I just ignored it, thinking it would get better or go away. And it didn’t, and just as I realized some foofy romance pop was gearing up and Keanu was heading in for the old kiss, that I had the channel-changing-and-turning-off thingy right next to me–and doggonit, I wasn’t even using it. I had the power all along and didn’t know it.

Zap! Take that Keanu. VC is back.

Awesome. Unlike Keanu.. you really are the chosen one.

Awwwwwww, Thanks BM! That’s so sweet.
Funny thing about blogging, I had no idea how strong my aversion to Keanu was until I started to write. You blog, you learn. The truth comes shining through. You-know-who should try it… (hint: he’s bigger than a breadbox and dimmer than the bulb in one of those mini-flashlights when its battery runs out.)
