It was much easier maintaining a blog like this when I had a seven year legacy to live up to. There was pressure to keep it alive for one more anniversary and keep it funny and entertaining like it was when the Hot Librarian was in charge. Now that Dis-traction is done Left Whorled seems to lack some level of importance. Realistically, I also started a real job back in May and I just don't seem to have the time to think of useful, clever or entertaining things to write about. When I do the blog is a long way off and I generally forget by the time I am in front of this machine. There have seriously been a few occasions where I had thought of a topically funny thing to write about but was beat to the presses by other funnier people. Like when I was going to write about how I was, as a tax payer, looking forward to getting my stock certificates for ownership Fanny Mae and then that night Stephen Colbert makes the same joke (much better than I) before I have a chance to write it up. If only I had my own show on Comedy Central (instead of this job as a research scientist) then I could stay on top the humorous thoughts in my head and get them out to the pubic in a timely and relevant fashion.

Is it too early to eat lunch at 11:20 am?
