It’s alive…Take three for useless ramblings.

I’m incapable of drying my hands properly. Seriously. For instance, at work, when I’m drying my hands in the bathroom, my thumbs like to hide. I’m not sure why. It almost looks like an involuntary action on their part. The end result is that my thumbs are never dried. They mock me with glee and leaving a Hansel and Gretel trail of water back in my wake and forcing me to discreetly rub my wet thumbs against my pants on the way back to the cube. All of which invariably leads to odd Rorschach water marks on light khaki. Am I the only one with this problem?

ESPN Canada devotes a solid forty minutes to pre-season hockey stories and analysis. You always hear about their hockey fanatacism, but it doesn’t really sink it till you see it up close. It borders on a disease. Leafs tickets are tougher than Sox-Yankees. Funny, I haven’t heard a peep about the Toronto ‘Someone explain to me the nickname’ Raptors.

Good article about the growing list of authors writing children’s literature and a review of Stephen King’s new book over at Salon.
