That’s what I’m suffering from–blogger’s block. It helps to put a name to one’s ailments, I think. Doesn’t sound as important as writer’s block but it’s just as aggravating. I don’t know why I can’t think of anything to write about. Life is happening here, just nothing I want to spend time describing.

Okay, I’ll briefly describe this: dirty dishes. Everywhere. Sink stopped up. Plumber Ken from Scotland is coming. Today, I hope. [No, not from Scotland--he's an immigrant, silly.] The apartment manager wanted me to use my toilet plunger on the sink, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Eww. Yesterday, I used my expensive new steam cleaner to sterilize the bathroom so I could feel comfortable washing dishes there. Got most of ‘em done but a family must eat, you know, which means more dishes have piled up. Everywhere. Should’ve ordered pizza. Sure hope Plumber Ken, complete with Scottish accent, shows up today. Don’t want to wash dishes in the bathroom again if I can help it.

In other news, I just discovered that when I registered at Flickr last month so I could leave a comment on one of djblurb’s photos, that I had actually set up a free account for my own pix. So I’ve uploaded a few–click ‘em on the left to see more. Good incentive to start taking more snapshots, I’d say. Starting with the dirty dishes and the gross stopped-up sink. Eww.

Which reminds me–Oh. My. God. You should see the amazing insect shots by Rick Lieder. I’ve never seen bugs with personalities before, except in animated movies.

And–yes, I’m still working on the podcast. Got the kinks worked out of recording phone calls–at last! You wouldn’t believe how frustrating and complicated it is to get a simple phone call recorded with good enough quality to share it with the world. Boy, do I miss having a radio engineer at my beck and call. So now it’s just a matter of rebooking that first guest and getting down to business. I’ve had some excellent suggestions about how to structure the Health Show so it won’t be boring: a] talk about some health headlines, b] interview somebody and c] answer listener’s emails. Oh, and d] be funny. Okay, I’ll try.

Won’t be long now!
