Now that I'm thinking about creating worthwhile content for this page, all of my internal monologue has turned into anecdotal form. Even the thought I had last night that all of my internal monologue has turned into an anecdote then turned into a meta-anecdote, which I'm now repeating here.
Wonder if I have enough Chai to get me through finals week.
Today was a nearly Cat-Phlegm™ free day. Hazel's had a cold all week, and being the neurotic parent that I am, I've pretty much been coddling her through it. But the worst part is at night - she'd sit on my chest when I'd be in bed, and I could see it coming. Her eyes would get all squinty and she'd start to shake her head. I could see the gleam in her eyes. "No," I'd plead, but fate had taken over at that point and we were both helpless to stop it. I'd duck to avert it, but that was generally useless; pretty soon a big cat snotpackage would come hurling at my face. But that was the last couple of days; today, she only sneezed on my roommate.

I was explaining the meaning of "html" to someone today. I remember when I used to think "html" stood for "hatemail" and "shtml" was for "shitmail." I probably wasn't the only one with those amusing acronym delusions.
One of the things that still bothers me about the web is its subtle corruption of standard grammar rules. Like the extra effort required to insert double spaces between sentences. It's definitely starting to displace my ire about the misuse of the apostrophe.
But really, isn't it all worth it?
This is my little experiment. Wonder if I can gain a following before I graduate. It would be a good way to establish my empire. I'll just pretend all of you are reading this right now.
Anybody think DotComGuy looks a little too much like Vanilla Ice? Does this bother anyone but me?

Found out today that my name (including all of those pesky middle names) anagrams to "Beauty! Kill abhorrent, mean ankle." That's not the kind of thing you can keep to yourself.
