As per Glimpse of a Girl, taking the first sentence of the first post of each month and glomming them into a single paragraph. So here goes:

I woke up this morning with the alarm. Well, other than the parts early in the morning I only vaguely remember, the day was taken up mostly with trying out the Return Of The King game on the PC, and having Geoffrey over for chit-chat of the idle and not-so-idle variety. Why haven’t I been updating lately? Went to lunch at Chang’s Mongolian Grill with Wendi, and the title of this entry is what the fortune cookie I received had to say. Saturday, other than some Diablo II before I left the house, consisted almost entirely of spending time over at the kids’ place. Via The Average Bear, I give you The Day After Tomorrow In Fifteen Minutes. Marlon Brando, dead at age 80. In lieu of content, linkage. Under no circumstances whatsoever should I be drinking iced tea after 10pm on a work night. Mount St. Helens is, literally, just blowing off some steam. I had an idea. So I sort of blew it on my original plan to post each and every day in November.

(For you nitpickers out there who fact-check this, yes, I know I deliberately failed to count the PPF as my first post of the year, even though it technically is. All I have to say to that is… well, bite me. If you’re bothered by the fact that some of those sentences actually aren’t, too bad. And yes, I selectively included links instead of faithfully reproducing the original content code for code. And, ah, in one case I deliberately skipped over a one-word sentence fragment in favor of something with actual content. So there.)
