Day 5

For my first attempt at blogging about unemployment, I began by coming up with the perfect soundtrack.  Since the impetus for this is the sudden gift of freedom (and I only have two CDs in this room) I chose to go with Wilco's Sky Blue Sky.  (Sidestory:  When asked by the P to guess which of the songs on this album is his favorite, it took me precisely twelve guesses to correctly get to the title track.) 

Next, I needed a title and web address.  Thanks, god(!) for Jenny and Jenny Jr., without whom the theme could have gone on undetermined for hours!  Gmail, though you have your faults, you've done right by me tonight.  

Thirdly comes content.  What ever shall I blog about that would so interest my peeps?  Since I only ever read blogs very specifically about either Logan's loganing of various enclosed military spaces, L Squared's entrepreneurialship, or, more frequently, celebrity gossip, it occurred to me that all other blogs are inherently self-involved, so I could blog about the act of blogging and be right on target. 

Since I aim to inform, I next proceeded to describe in full the triumphs of my fifth day of unemployment.  After striking just the right note (some things are still hard when you don't have a job!) I hit "Publish Post."  Voila - I had blogged.  On to "View Blog."  Fudge.  It was nowhere to be found.  Oh well, I shall think of it tomorrow.
