Not Fit to Print
Here's what I'm not writing about today:
* The weather. Even though the weather in this state is seriously messed up. More than usual, even. Last week I was sitting in my office with the window open. Yesterday I was sitting in my office with the window closed and my spring jacket on and almost no feeling in my fingers. On Sunday night, I schlepped our hundred-pound window air-conditioning unit up from the basement, because our bedroom, being at the top of the house and all, gets too hot to sleep in at a certain point, even if we have the central air on. Then yesterday I got home from work and had to turn the central heating back on because it was fifty degrees in there with all the windows closed. I don't remember there being Mays like this when I was a kid. Of course I used to spend every May so giddy about the impending end of the school year that I probably wouldn't have noticed a rain of frogs.
* My first hate mail as a Television Without Pity recapper, not quite a month after I got hired. Linda was excited for my having reached this landmark, but my little missive is nothing compared to some of the e-mails she's told me about. Which I'm also not writing about.
* A project that Trash and I have been working on for a while. It's large and time-consuming, but it's connected to something I'm not ready to announce yet. Which has rendered the past several weeks chock-full of non-bloggable hours.
* Writer's block. I'm not blocked. I'm not!
* My current exercise routine that I embarked on at the beginning of last week, because that bores even me.
* My theory that the amount of exercise I've done this week has already kick-started my metabolism, because the only evidence I have of that being the case is pretty gross.
* The gig my band is playing tonight at the Ginkgo Coffee House at 721 Snelling Avenue in St. Paul at 9:00 p.m., because I think I've flogged that enough by now, don't you?
Here's what I am writing about:
* All the stuff I'm not writing about.
Today's best search phrase: "Geek toddlers clothes." Sure, why not get an early start? You're never too young to get beat up at day care, right?

Hi, I'm M. Giant. I'm here because while there's no shortage of people hurling their least
significant thoughts and feelings up on the Internet, none of those people are me. I'm
here because I've got nothing to say, and by God I'm going to say it.
My goal with this blog is to spend time writing something, anything, rather than just sitting around
slackjawed. I hope to hone my writing skills, build a small but loyal following, then a slightly larger
and more fiercely loyal following, ultimately culminating in the destruction of my enemies and total world
domination.
Feel free to e-mail me if you like, but only if you don't mind that anything you say is likely to end up on the site.
I can't guarantee that I'll be nice about it.

You could steal from me, but you'd only be hurting yourself. Using
me as your instrument.
