My Justifiable Excuses. . .

Okay, I know it’s been a while, but in my defense the whole premise of this blog ensures that there are going to be long gaps in my entries.  It’s not my fault, I’m just a slacker when it comes to this sort of stuff!  Oh wait, that means it is my fault.  Whatever.  This time I really do have very valid reasons for my long hiatus of entries.  (This may or may not be the best time to mention that I’ve always been naturally gifted with an ability to come up with justifications, some a little convoluted and far fetched, but none-the-less, justifications for almost any ridiculous conclusion I’ve come to)  I notice that my last entry was mid-January. 

I don’t know what happened to the remainder of January, I may just not have had anything interesting to say.  However, starting in February I was house-bound by Snowpocalypse (this is referring to the more than 3 feet of snow that we received in 2 snow storms separated by 3-4 days, and was hence labeled one storm to justify federal funding in clean-up).  I went to work a couple of days, but was obviously quite busy those days, as immediately following Snowpocalypse, I went to Seattle for a week.  I was supposed to leave 5-6 days earlier, but my flight out was scheduled for the 1^st day of the 2^nd wave of the storm.  Bummer, but at least I got out.

Okay, I just thought I should point out that the beginning of this was written on 3/15/10, but I got sidetracked and now I’m trying to continue/finish. . . This is why it was such a bad idea for me to try this thing!!!  Which actually reminds me that I recently came to the conclusion that laziness is sort of a handicap, so I was wondering if I could get handicap tags for that.  You know, so I don’t have to drive around looking for a spot or walking really far?  Sort of like the “expected mother” parking at the grocery store. . . I do expect to be a mother someday.  Shouldn’t that count???

Anyhoo, back to my implausible excuses.  So then I was in Seattle, having ridiculous fun with my bro and his girlfriend (trolls under a bridge, best used book store EVER!, Archie McPhee and their bacon gumballs and mustache mirror clings, asian fish markets and Bananas Foster French Toast w/challah bread that makes you want to never eat anything else ever again).  I could go off on an entire entry about my time there, and maybe I will but may I just add now that we figured out the time by being human sun dials and saw 2 mummies and several shrunken heads.  Pretty cool, right??

After I got back, I’ve been pretty swamped at work and now that Spring is here and the weather is actually nice I’ve been almost giddy with excitement, so I forget things such as this.  My humble apologies.  Although you have to admit, Snowpocalypse, vacay, and lots and lots of actual work are pretty valid excuses!  I didn’t even start making things up!  Well, I guess I should go get ready for my meeting that’s in 20 minutes. . . I promise that I’ll try to be better.  Notice how my promise really holds no guarantees?  Trying to be better?  Than what, 3 month gaps in entries?  2 ½ months would keep me in line with that promise!  No, but I really will.  Besides, the whole premise of this was for movie reviews and I have seen quite a bit, so I have some catching up to do.  I’ll do a very brief catch-ya-up either later today or. . . sometime soon. . . .
