Staplers are vital
Hey MSU, that must have hurt. You gonna be able to sit down tomorrow?
Once in a while, I become fixated on an unconventional object and the purchase of it becomes quite important to me. Remember the dilly with the cheap sunglasses? Well, I decidedly recently that staplers are very important to me. Staplers are such useful implements, and a good stapler lasts for years and years. In fact, in the study at home, my mom has a stapler that is at least 40 years old, probably more. So tonight, I set off for Office Max with the primary goal of finding a durable stapler to accompany me in my journey through life.
The Swingline Classic 747 stapler is the choice. I’m sure you’ll recognize it, since it is Swingline’s most popular model. It combines rugged all-metal construction and sleek styling. My stapler is beige, a choice with which I initially was disappointed when I realized it came in the other colors listed on that page. After pondering the matter further, however, I realized that beige is more utilitarian and unassuming than the other colors and thus more suited to a stapler, I think. Score for beige.
But enough with the blogsturbation (I take issue with this definition, mind you). I haven’t been blogging a lot lately, but that doesn’t mean things haven’t been going on, or even that I’ve been down. Life is changing, thoughts are vivid. My experience seems richer. The undulations are less pronounced. It is one of those odd things: I know I am changing, growing, becoming a better and new person, but I can’t explain that to another person.
So, to make an awkward segue, let’s talk a bit about BLOGWARS™. The only match worth commenting on is the Adele-Anne battle, which was extraordinarily close. I felt Adele landed some good shots with her photo-essays, but ultimately Anne’s unrelenting, technically proficient attack carried the day. Probably the difference-maker was the post on lesbian showering, which generated drama outside the blogs amongst non-blog people–surely a noteworthy accomplishment.
Round 2 features nickd vs. Mary Jones and Anne House vs. me. Let it be known that if any more of nickd’s “fanboys” (what this means, I do not know, but I’m rather afraid to ask, ya FAG) IM me and hassle me, nickd will immedately forfeit his match against Mary.
