First and possibly last

Okay, so the last time I tried posting, I was set upon by Brontosaurus(es? I want to say eses). It seems unlikely, I know, I tried telling them that they were actually Apatosaurus(again, eses?) and Brontosaurus was just the popular but redundant synonym, but they wouldn't listen. They wanted good muffin recipes. Eventually it all degraded into a search for a lost 'golden cauliflower' and a bad 'Who's on First?' routine.Well, I sent those Brontosaurus(seriously, you'd think wikipedia might have something on this) packing. It was all very impressive, I assure you.

 The reason I say possibly last, however, is that the whole misadventure with the dinosaurs(finally, something I can properly pluralize) took about 20 minutes. After that I was distracted by a shiny thing in my web browser, and the next thing I knew I had several hours on Kingdom of Loathing and Dragonfable racked up. Even writing this blog I was diverted by looking up pictures of dinosaurs, catching a moth, and finding synonyms for distracted. ( One example: diverted.) This only happens near computers. I am often content to sit and read books for hours on end. While writing this sentence, I was again drawn to Kingdom of Loathing and nearly forgot about this entry's very existence. Then it happened again. See, I can't be trusted to update this stuff. If I do, expect amusing book reviews and paranoid ramblings. And then a bagpipe rendition of 'Yackety Sax' while various anthromoporphic items chase me around. The thing I am trying to get across is that you shouldn't expect much.
