I don't ever lie to myself and think, gee, I'm really making a difference out there by blogging. I'm not touching anyone with my words here. I'm just yelling in a very large, mostly empty room because the echoes sound cool. Actually, it's not even a room, it's like one of those cheap plastic microphone things that echo. Those things are awesome. I want one in my stocking this year. Meh, at least we know it’s self-indulgent and we have the viewership to prove it.

Pull the other one. In a typical month here, it's you, me, and about 450 other people. Tumbleweeds, by internet standards. Most people, if they were locked in an empty room for all eternity, would go insane or invent elaborate fantasy worlds. Bloggers would stand in the middle of the room and make speeches. We are modern-day pamphleteers -- occasionally insightful, always self-aggrandizing. Also, what has been up with your hair recently? Geez. This blog isn’t self-indulgent? Pull the other one.
