blew the check

[fflo]

Ah, rats---looks like I needed to post yesterday for my October lj calendar active dates to form the check mark I was starting to think I'd aim for, with my sporadic posting of late.

'S cold tonight! Well, not that cold, but colder than the power of this little sweatshirt jacket the H-bomb got me on sale at the competitor of Varney's down the street. I forget the name. Where my brother's boy scout stuff was from. You know, in Aggieville. Yeah, that's the place.

Just my luck: I'm catsitting where there's cable, and there's nothing good on. If I were following baseball, maybe I could get into watching the (likely end, the way the White Sox are representin' the blue states, of the) Series tonight, since a good picture is good for baseball, like tennis. Where seeing the ball itself is much better than just seeing everyone's reactions to it.

Gotta go hunt for another maybe-not-there tool in the basement now.

Hoo boy--another LJ meme--drawing calendar pictures.

what's a meme? Better to "blow the check" this way, methinks

There's talk of memes in the broader sense here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

---but in blogland they're the little things people do and pass on to others to do, like the one in which you're supposed to find the closest book to you this very second and open it to page 43 and write the first full sentence on that page in your journal. The quizzes act that way, too, in a way. They're thus sort of a curiosity around personality that makes a contribution to the sense of communing through our separate computers in our separate places. And gives an excuse to talk of ourselves and each other---the purpose I used to say astrology served.
