July 22nd just so happens to be Pi Approximation Day!
It also happens to be my sister Casey's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Casey. I got you a heaping helping of guilt.

Desperate For Material
Most of my recent adventures reside in the realm of unbloggable, unless you want to hear about how much I hate one of my coworkers. Such a tale would be a little too merciless for this generally happy and genial blog.
Instead, I'm going to say this:
I went to Ivy Jane's birthday party on Saturday, and stayed afterwards to crash with Casey and Joe. Does it interest you to know that Casey believed that the final Harry Potter book was being released on July 23 due to some weird triangulation involving the first day of summer and Harry's birthday despite the fact that neither occur anywhere near July 23, whereas I believed the correct release date was July 21, because I remembered that it was released on the day before Casey's birthday? I probably shouldn't have to tell you who was right.
Also, Casey has a Word Document on her computer's desktop entitled "Snacks I Like To Snack On." I resisted the urge to read such deep, dark secrets.

Fresh Start
I used to write in an online journal at diaryland.com, but then I ran into a few problems:
1. My life got very repetitive, which made for very boring writing.
2. I felt the need to write about other things, like music, sports, literature, and animation.
3. Since I really have no useful knowledge about at least two of those topics, I felt the need to be able to get comments on these things so that when I make uninformed moral judgments about them, people who know better can call me on it. Diaryland insisted that I pay them for a service that everyone else provides freely, and so I must relocate.
4. I tend to get a bit wordy, so I felt that the occasional illustration might help me out. Also, I can just link to things instead of quoting them.
5. My sister has one of these, and has a lot of imaginary internet friends as a result. Since I'm not going to be writing in detail about parenting, pregnancy, women's health, midwives and homebirth, vegetarianism, or Linda Hirshman, I'm guessing the Venn Diagram formed by our imaginary internet friend circles will not have a large middle section, so my plan is to find my own circle of blog friends and get them to follow my lead in posting snide comments on Casey's blog. A good time will be had by all. And who was this Venn character?
And so begins my new online home, which I have decided to call "Online Somewhere." I am marginally happy with this choice. I am very bad at thinking up titles.
Holy crap. My first entry is a bulleted list. I really am a blogger.
