DNR: Snow angels.

faked by Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

As I’m going to try and bang out more thoughts—diaries, really—here on PrettyFakes (I hope for many of them to have accompanying illustrations, once we can hurdle the 2k9/Zune:bomb errors we’re getting), I’ll likely slap the “do no read” label on them. You can read, but you won’t care. Ha! Just like a John Updike story in the latest issue of the New Yorker! Warning: I am also going through all my old records and cassettes and re-re-evaluating them.

Later this week: The Golden Palominos v. the Barenaked Ladies!

Magazine Telephony.

Hello, New Year’s! This is where the new post goes, once we get the site ready to gobble more Polaroids. After five years (!), 926 posts (!!), and 6,226 comments (WHAT), the ol’ girl creaks a bit in the mornings.

I am only writing this because of a foolhardy resolution that requires me to post daily or at least semi-often, which will be abandoned in all likelihood by May. I am also determined to read a book a week (hey, if the still-president can fake do it, so can I!) and in general “better myself.”

IT IS A 2k9! SPARKS ARE DEAD! VIVA LA SPARKS!
