Fleeble. And I mean that.

1) Let's all count the levels of irony surrounding the existence of a line of Zippo lighters with the Serenity Prayer etched on them.

2) I am not going to panic. The fact that our apartment building has been sold to a guy who's linked to the condo business does not necessarily mean anything. Right? Am I right? Please?

3) I actually wrote a conventional American-style crossword today, and actually somehow finished the bastard. It's not flashy, but it's solid, with a dash of hipness for that New Wave flavor. (4 Down: "JOE FRIDAY." And that's not even a theme answer. *pats self on back*) Y'know what? I'm bypassing Games for the first time, and shipping this off to the NY Times. Frankly, even a Will Shortz rejection letter would make me happy. Wish me luck.

4) We're gradually digging our way out of the mountain of CDs we've assembled, re-ripping where necessary. Thank you so much, all of you, for your offers to help; major fawning gratitude to ducttapeavenger for the heaping snootload of Decemberists music. Sir, you rule all known universes, and a few we haven't discovered yet.

5) Instant Pad Thai calls me from the microwave, and this time I remembered the lime. Later, kids.

You write crossword puzzles? For Games?
Man, we so need to talk!

No problem; my web host gives me a ridiculous amount of space, of which I only use a fraction. Glad I could help.
