Well, I haven't updated all week because I kept waiting for some misadventure to befall me that I could relate with hilarity. Nothing has happened. I've driven to work without incident, I've accomplished tasks without being locked in stairwells, attacked by rampaging fax machines, being trapped in the elevator or losing a pinky in a bizarre copying mishap. I've placed calls, sent e-mails, paid bills and made deposits in an eerie bubble of calm and normalcy.

I can only conclude that even now, a meteorite is hurtling through space, about to land squarely upon my head.
