Oddball Update

I guess I’m going to make this a recurring feature, seeing as how I did it last year — but here is 2005’s Oddball Digest Edition. I originally saw this idea on another site. You take the first sentence of the first post of each month for a year, put ‘em all next to each other and you get an (often amusing) overview of what kind of crap you write about. I saw last year’s version on my “This Week Last Year” sidebar thing, and was reminded that I ought to do it again for consistency’s sake. (And to give me an excuse to write about something other than the car for a change.)

• January – I can’t believe I haven’t posted on this site yet THIS YEAR!
• February – I’ve finally had it with the Netflix plugin I was using to display my current rentals on the sidebar.
• March – Damn, the flu this year really sucks.
• April – The chief of our company’s IT department totally lost the hard drive on his workstation today.
• May – I think I’ve finally come to a decision on the specifications for my new rig.
• June – I’m not dead…just hibernating.
• July – Made it before the long weekend!
• August – After coming up short at all of the local dealers, and even finding myself unable to make immediate headway through Red Holman Pontiac (my old favorite dealer of choice from back home in Motown), I finally struck gold today.
• September – Finally got my car’s order number from the dealer — JGTPG6.
• October – After how rudely I was treated by my Trans Am the other day, this might come as a surprise.
• November – I was having a hard time conceiving of spending more time sitting at a keyboard than I did yesterday: Twelve hours.
• December – I have been inundated with side work in the last few days.

Mmmmm, tasty.

At least I seem able to keep up with posting here, even though on occasion I’ll slack off for a week or two. Last summer there was a total dearth of updates, and when I look back through those pages, the impression I get can be summed up in one word: “Meh.” Let’s not do that again, shall we?
