A Long Awaited Return

It continues to be long, the time between when I write one thing and when I write the next.

An ephemeral brick wall, but it just sort of sits there. They all spit watermelon seeds and wait for one to pass through.

It's not that I don't want to say anything.

Paul from Cupcake Canasta contacted me to let me know that his proper domain, cupcake.com, has been released from limbo. He tells me that normal service will resume at the start of May. Anyone who's enjoyed the regular (outdated (old and musty)) "features" here at squub.com should keep his or her eye out for the return of the Cupcake. It's a kindred contraption, at least to my (often delusional) way of thinking.

It's Friday, I've got more work to do. I noticed that there's some shit going on over in Iraq. Whoever the hell's naming these campaigns (far be it from me to do any sort of research to find out if these are somehow "official" titles or things news organizations make-up) needs to take a fucking class or something in how to make up titles that don't sound like bad Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Operation Valiant Strike? Operation Iraqi Freedom? There's also a name I'm forgetting for the "operation" to protect us here at home, led by Tom Ridge. What about Operation Increase Approval Rating, or Operation Distract Everyone So They Forget I Can't Pronounce Nuclear? I'd really like to support the troops and all, but I just have trouble getting behind something so obviously scripted by people who think Maximum Risk and Sudden Death were good movie titles.

In fact, I bet if they could name this campaign something a bit cooler sounding then a whole bunch of those countries who don't support it now would change their tunes right away. How about something like Dark Desert: The Change of Regime?

Yeah, I know, that's even worse. That's why I don't blog much anymore. I've got nothin'.
