In the interest of still having something--occasionally--to say, I have decided to test this "Twitter" thing. Since I'm sure I will miss blogging if and when it goes away (I'm still saying "if," so don't send me any threatening comments about "DON'T PISS ME OFF"), I have decided to embrace another form of technology and still have a means of expressing myself, even if it's only in a pithy--or pissy, as the case may be--140 characters.
Twitter somehow reminds me of a monk's form of blogging, as if we're all locked away in a monestary and have taken a vow of silence and are allowed to only say so much each day. And while I'm sure the monks--in between their self-flagellation, wine-making, and illuminated manuscripts--did not count characters, I'm equally sure they would appreciate the brevity of the Tweet (which I think is a new sequel to Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs).
For those of you interested in "following" me (see?... it still sounds semi-religious), you can do so at gg92101T. We'll see how long this lasts. I may embrace it, I may scorn it, I may just forget it exists. So sign up at your own risk. Suffice it to say, if I have anything longer to say, this will still be the place I use to say it.
