Why I Couldn't Blog Today
So I've been trying to blog for the past 22 hours.
But every time I sit down and start to write, something inevitably occurs that forever alters my plan.
And now I don't have enough time to adequately provide the exceptional witticism and clumsy sexiness that my readers demand of me.
So here, instead, are all the reasons I couldn't blog today (starting with last night).
8:49 p.m. Thursday - A brand new episode of The Office. I'm useless for an hour before and up to to six hours after seeing Jenna Fischer.
10:02 p.m. Thursday - A brand new episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. (Big TV night.)
12:31 a.m. Friday - Sleepytime jubilee.
10:45 a.m. Friday - The nonstop barrage of stories I have to proofread 32 times commences.
10:47 a.m. Friday - I cry a little.
12:36 p.m. - Scott Heisel has quite a few thoughts he'd like to share on last night's Office and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
2:02 p.m. - Editorial meeting to gauge where we are with everything that's due; I count the number of times the f-word is used, but stop counting after Pettigrew begins to speak. (Also, he told me to hype up the fact that his blog on Monday will likely be of the "doozy" variety.)
3:05 p.m. - Heisel won't shut up about the calzone I owe him from last week's lunch, so we make the trip to the pizza place.
4:02 p.m. - More proofreading.
4:21 p.m. - More crying.
5:03 p.m. - I'm suddenly aware of my own mortality. I can't really concentrate.
5:52 p.m. - Pettigrew engages me in a discussion of the proper way to spell the word "ca-ca" (as in what a 4-year-old says they have to do in the potty.)
6:12 p.m. - Have to turn in the last of my stories before the weekend, otherwise our production director will eat my soul on Monday.
6:47 p.m. - Lucy, the adorable puppy of our marketing director Dawn, gets a little scared and pees on my floor.
6:49 p.m. - I tell Lucy that it happens to the best of us.
7:09 p.m. - I gotta take off to go see the Life And Times.
7:10 p.m. - It occurs to me that all of the reasons why I couldn't blog would actually make up a blog on its own.

The calzone was delicious, thank you for asking.
what do you think of this season of Sunny?
It's had funny moments, but I'm thinking these haven't been quite as great as some of the previous episodes were (with the exception of wild card, which was hilarious.)
best moment in Sunny so far imo:
at mac & charlie's funeral when they show their pictures and play BON JOVI "Dead or Alive". i was quite literally rolling.
