why did this not work the first time?

I don’t know; it’s up to the blog faeries whether they let us post or not.
At any rate, while surfing for a calling card with which I might annoy Mandarin by causing her phone to ring constantly, I came across this charming item—scroll down to the card called “MOST MINUTES WORLD” and notice its winning sales slogan: “They’ll get sick of you before this one runs down!”
Okay, so, it’s not the most exciting post ever, but at least it replaces “oh viggo!” as the front-runner, and it has the additional advantage of having been composed in 2004; good to get rid of that one, since the bl•gsp•t banner ad has been flogging medieval swords. I hate being crawled upon by webbots; break out the tinfoil, aliens is reading our minds. And as much as I change vowels to asterisks, I can’t hide—I’ve said said Rohirrim, I’ve said Orlando Bloom. I’ve earned any resultant creative-anachronist advertising.
I hope Mandarin’s phlegm is abating—my migraine backed down (holy geriatrics—what are we, the blogging maiden aunts of Killarney), mostly since I raised my blood sugar with some dinner: salmon, stir-fried veggies, and a salad of snow pea shoots and cashews with lemon (sounds a lot more exciting than it actually was). Also some carrot juice.
In other dull news, did I happen to mention that I have officially fallen soul-destroyingly, mind-shatteringly, brain-meltingly in love with the Librarian? (That’s this week, anyway.) And that Herself has further sugared and honeyed her offer, enticing me to four weeks of ango? And that I succeeded in purchasing an extremely patriotic calling card?
And in further news—what do we think of Lemony Snicket? I very nearly bought Mandarin a Gashlycrumb Tinies lunch pail at the Art Institute of Chicago. Twas only chill penury prevented this from happening. And I’ve not totally abandoned the idea of rescued hedgehogs as pets; they’re only $90 each—and they’re nocturnal! This could be perfect.
