apologies for the lack of blogging today. (how pretentious is it that i apologize for the lack of something that enhances nobody's lives and provides only occasional minor entertainment? oh well. i still like to think there is somebody out there feeling empty on the inside because an unrequited narcissism post hasn't jumped into their rss reader in the past 24 hours.) tommy had to go into the office for an 8:30 am conference call, poor boy, to be followed by approximately 32 other conference calls. his office is on a conference call high, lately. and i - well, i have the work. just this once, though.

anyway, hopefully there'll be blogging material aplenty tomorrow, because tommy and i are going to the wilco show tonight! wahey! and i am going to wear the totally awesome scary go round tshirt that he bought me, that came in the mail all the way from the UK. came in the post, i should say. it says "bears will eat you." i don't know why exactly it says that, or what man-eating bears have to do with the comic strip, but it's still pretty great. why i'm telling you this, i don't know. between my concert-attending tshirt attire and my dress dilemma, this is apparently the all-fashion-all-the-time blog. for real, serious, knock-you-on-your-ass blogging, check out susan's post today. she's sending dispatches from tajikistan (i didn't even know that was a country before she went there!) where's she spreading democracy like butter on toast, but still witnessing some of the most atrocious and depressing conditions imaginable.
