(8:17 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Once more, my friends
I confess that I have anger management problems and that I am all too often a whiny little bitch. I confess that I have, despite all the sound advice to the contrary, fed the trolls. I confess that my job has lately been unbelievably boring and that the reasons I don't look for a new one are (a) any other part-time job I might find would almost certainly be equally boring and (b) few other jobs are likely to offer me the same flexible schedule. I confess to being too eager to get into political debates with my father, who is a staunch Republican, but is never an asshole about it. I confess to still having some habits I picked up from the Nazarenes, namely gossip and backbiting.
On an unrelated note, I believe that today is Tara's due date. I am told that first pregnancies can sometimes go longer, but still, we should all mentally prepare ourselves to welcome Miles Smith into the world. We should probably also be thinking of possible names for Dave ("The Earnest") and Jodi Belcher's upcoming firstborn, because once they know the gender, I think it would be appropriate for The Weblog to hold a binding referendum on what they should name their child.
Ah, the delights of the domestic life! One of my deepest regrets is that Olivet's MRS diploma mill was ineffective in my case, because I too could be an expectant father right now. I hardly ever watch television, in fact, because it would only increase the loneliness and shame attendant upon violating God's holy ordinance that one must procure for oneself a member of the opposite sex with whom to sit at home and watch television in perpetuity.
UPDATE: I confess that the logo didn't previously display because I had misspelled the extension ".jpg." I also confess that you should go over to a house falling in the sea later today to see an image that I suggested Jared should make.
UPDATE: Okay, never mind. Jared said that since I commissioned it, he had assumed the image would be displayed at my site. So I present to you Holbein's Dead Kerry:
Back when people, you know, actually talked about John Kerry, he was often described as "cadaverous." That's the joke. Ha ha.
Thank you, Jared, for all your hard work.
UPDATE: Jared has also contributed a new graphical logo for The Weblog. Today has truly been a banner day.
