Master of the Carcassonne Universe!

Well, finally I achieved victory at a game of Carcassonne. And as much anticipated, I celebrated my first and only win with a victory lap around the house, spiking throw pillows as I went. I would've enjoyed it more if it hadn't been done through a haze of cold medicine - as I've now contracted some kind of vacation-killing super flu. So my memory is just a fuzzy blur of throw pillows flying this way and that. I don't think I fell down at any point. So that's good.

Well even through my Nyquil buzz, I can still post my Askville Answer of the Week! This one really, I think, clues you in to a special side of me - my pageant side.

Hope everyone has a glorious New Year's Eve night, and makes the most of their fresh start in 2008!

Askville Answer of the Week

So I'm a certified Askville junkie. If you've never been there, it's a public Q&A site. Lots of BSing, lots of me pretending I know what I'm talking about. Hey, what can I say? I'm a rock god sometimes. And as a rock god, I must tribute myself. Here's an Askville offering of mine for you to taste:

It's a shame that not everyone gets my humor. At least I amuse myself!

You can always find me on http://www.askville.com/. Just ask for PenguinSage. Tell her The Hamburglar sent ya!

The Postless Post

Well Christmas is done and over. I am still in a cookie coma, so I can barely see beyond my chipmunk cheeks to type for your amusement. Dance monkey, dance!

Here's the best summation I could possibly imagine.

I served up some spinachless spinach dip - which oddly enough tasted, dare I say, superior to spinachful dip. Must remember to check the grocery list - check the grocery list!

I was caught on video camera - much to my chagrin - doing horrible Anchorman impersonations "Their house smells like rich mohogany". Yeah, I'll treasure that video always. It'll be like watching a video of someone circa 1993 doing the Macarena. Classic.

Then after my family packed up their loud conversations, Trivial Pursuit insults, and ham plates, I spent the evening playing with my new cat-shaped stapleless stapler, which is supposed to attach sheets of papers without staples or any forms of adhesives. But does not actually attach sheets of paper at all. Well, not with any consistency anyway. But it's pink. And it's pretty. And it looks like a cat. So I'll treasure it always.

Early Worm Gets the Blog

I don't know, maybe it's the sleep deprivation from having a hungry baby wake up at 4am, jonesing for an episode of Gilmore Girls. Maybe it's the holiday food euphoria that is wafting this way. But for some reason, I decided it's time to get me some blog.


So here I am at 8:30 in the morning with a stiff neck from watching Matt Lauer dissect the conception of the Jamie Lynn spawn. I think if he could, he'd actually crawl up into her hoochie-hoo with a flashlight and give us a guided tour.


In any event I decided as I was sipping my breakfast Fruit2O that the world definitely was lacking without my wisdom, insight, ramblings, and - oh my god - Good Morning America just used the phrase "master debater" in a serious historical context!


So, thus begins my rockstar blog.
