Oh, and I can. It looked a little messy to have two very short posts right next to each other and I thought to myself, "If only I could go back in tiiii-ome, perhaps by using the reversible clock that I am getting Meg for her birthday (ssshhhh, don't tell). Then I could write a longer post, one of length not less than six lines, to better balance the chi of the blog." I clicked my heels together three times, clicked on "Post and Comment Options," and here we are, back at 9:40 AM Mar 21 2006. I could stay here forever. (Or I could even go all the way back to 1990. Although that would be suspicious and you might guess that I couldn't really be writing this blog in the early 90's, a period of time when my computer time was limited to an hour per week of playing Oregon Trail on floppy disks. And the dead giveaway would be that the deep insights contained on these pages definitely could not have been written by an 8-year-old.) But if I stayed right here, in this artificially constructed moment in time, I'd miss seeing my little Speedster grow up. I'll see you in the future.
I forget what my philosophy on humor is (I know I have one, though, because I remember using a stapler to try to explain it to Sophie), but I think that last paragraph violates any principles I might hold; namely, it's not at all funny but it looks like it's trying so very hard to be in a way that is pretty painful, which can only mean one thing: I actually have succeeded in turning back time to circa 6th grade when I wrote a script called "Tire of Fortune" starring Matt Wajack and Vanna Orange. It's also possible that I've actually gone insane. It happened.

cecil! this negativity needs to stop. first, the "and it might suck" is simply not true (please - how could a blog/non-blog by you suck?). and second, you should know that any non-attempt at humor is at least somewhat amusing if it references the computer lab (just do it) and those precious floppy disks. ...and speaking of, remember in 6th grade (?) when we used to have to write in "computer journals" during computer class? your blog is like that.
