Big News » Lord Capulet shot up the Montague family on Sunday night. Wait, no, I'm getting my stories crossed. This idiot from Jacksonville didn't like the guy his daughter was dating so he saw to it that six people were admitted into the hospital... including members of his own family. There's the sign of a brain at work.

Now, today's story...

Last night I thought it would be interesting to install a counter on my blog here. Liz put one on hers to track who was reading what she had to say. She wouldn't stop talking about all the Virginians that dropped in.

I wanted to see if any Virginians were visiting me. Turns out they aren't. On the other hand, I've got Canadians and Costa Ricans and some Mexicans thrown in there. But don't get me wrong, I've got some folks from right here in the states too. There are Texans and Iowans and Californians and Alabamans, even Indianans.

So I just wanted to say to all of you out-of-towners who took the time, and even the ones who came upon me by accident, thank you. Clearly it was time well spent. But yeah, if you never read this again I wouldn't blame you.

Also, since I am obviously pressed for blogging ideas, I should take this time to plug my other blog — my fiction blog. Yep, totally fake. Totally.

It's called The Chosen and it's a completely made up story about another set of prophecies written by John after he wrote Revelations. It was left out of the Bible, yada yada, and now seven people have been chosen to, you know, stave off the end of the world.

Hokey? Maybe. But I think it'll make for some interesting reading. Perhaps even wishful thinking on the part of those people worried they'll be banished to hell at the apocalypse. Personally, I believe in reincarnation and the world's never gonna end. Like a broken record, it'll just keep playing over and over.

I publish new chapters of the story twice a week — every Sunday and Thursday. Each is told from the point of view of one of the seven main characters. It will unfold very slowly. I've got a lot of story ideas, but I want to make it last.

Yeah, so I'm done now. I'll have something more interesting posted tomorrow. Well, don't hold me to that. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, and feel free to comment. Say whatever you want. Just let me know you're out there.

Not Forgotten: I should have those UK pictures up tomorrow. I'll have to go pick up the CD at my house. I don't care if you don't care. I care.
