I'm sorry I don't update often. I blame the Facebook, with its wiles and its applications and being far more acceptable to be caught checking at work.

Most of my day-to-day friends are there as well, as are a lot of my friends 'round these parts. So it has begun to absorb the bulk of my blogging requirements. If I want to announce my planned trip to Thailand (December 2008) while openly inviting damn near everyone I know to come with me if they so choose (they won't, but that's okay), Facebook is a great place to do that. Not that I won't be soliciting further Thailand tips from Char1es or anything.

And then there's the status feature. Instead of writing about what's up, I can just say "Dan is wanting a pizza" and leave it there. But... sometimes I feel the need to be honest in my status update. I write "Dan is depressed. It doesn't matter why," and suddenly I'm deluged with people disagreeing with my assessment of the relevance of my moods. Certain of my friends... the War Council in particular... aren't likely to let me play the "I don't want to talk about it" card.

And that's just it. I don't. Normally I would rant and rave about it all here, away from the bulk of my crew (no hiding from Masquerade and Jody, though), but not this time. I don't want to talk about it. Or think about it. I just want it all to stop.

I think that's all I have to say. Sorry to bother you. I'll cross-post my next harmless Facebook blog to make this one go away. How's that sound?
