It IS that I don't have time for this, but at times I really do forget about self publishing. Also, I just don't write like I used to. I never was much for linking to other things on the internet, hence why I've merely lurked at Metafilter for the past 7 years, asking and answering the odd http://www.hulagroup.com/chimchim/2008/06/its-not-that-i-dont-have-time-for-this.phpnoreply@blogger.com (ChimChim)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026632.post-5509513683897529967Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:44:00 +00002008-03-21T20:47:49.092ZI keep forgetting I have this damn thing.

Not sure. Yesterday, while walking to work, I passed that old garage. You know, the one that looks like it's been standing there for the past 127 years and by damned it's not coming down now. I caught something out of the corner of my eye, a cat, lying in front of 'Ole Shakey'.

I was going to take him downstairs, but my body felt as though I had been punched while sleeping. I returned to the bed to set Joel down and do some morning playing. As I turned, something moved the way it shouldn't have.
