Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

It feels like I've been offline forever, but it's just that the last couple of days have gone by really slowly.

Yesterday afternoon, our dear friend Gerd died suddenly of a pulmonary embolism. Trash had just ridden downtown with her for work that morning. She was 28.

Obviously I'll be writing more about this in the days to come. Rest in peace, Gerd. You are already desperately missed.

How absolutely tragic. May she rest in peace and hope you find some comfort in that in the coming days.

Oh no. I can't even imagine losing someone I loved so suddenly. Thinking of her friends and her family.

about

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.

Thanks to blogger.com for the free hosting and page design template. All content copyright 2002-2007 M. Giant. You could steal from me, but you'd only be hurting yourself. Using me as your instrument.

And it's pronounced "velCRAWmeter", dammit.
