Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

And speaking of prolithic...

I was just shanghaied by the coworker I mentioned earlier to go out to an onsite meeting with her and some nice fellow trying to start a business. Wouldn't be so bad, except that in addition to being a language murderer, she's a tobacco fiend and smokes in her car. I was in her car for about ten minutes going, spent twenty minutes out in the open air, then ten minutes coming back, and I now reek like a ashtray full of cigarette butts.

We got inside and I very nearly sprinted to get on the elevator to go get a Coke from downstairs to try and wash the stench out of my mouth and she mistakenly got on the elevator with me, thinking I was going up. She was momentarily flustered, but I told her not to worry, she could just ride down with me and get a drink--"Oh, I can't drink sodas anymore--they're bad for your bones."

::blink::blink::

Yes, we want our bones to be nice and tough, just like our rock-hard lungs.

Some people, eh?
