More Gibberish
Been receiving more coded messages. I took some more of those pills to help my brain work well enough to decode their top secret warblings but the cocker spaniel said I did it all wrong and I should ask all you water pixies for help.
Here is the latest message. I found it on my computer.
Then there was something about "insignificance team of ghost in of moon playing field."
Do you think some crazy Himalayan has got a hold of an explorer's laptop and is mashing the keyboard about and ringin up his long distance bills?!!!
I am going to eat a banana in the closet.

Daily (actually Monthly) Vocabulary
Right, well, it's been a while. I think my productivity is down. I spent the last few weeks watching Twin Peaks episodes over and over again. My secretary refuses to serve me pie and coffee. I feel lost.
I thought maybe I'd feel better if I did some vocabulary. Since my site only got 7 hits last week, and a big fat ZERO (that's gotta be a record) the week before, it is clear that my hit-pumping efforts of prior months have fallen by the wayside.
In other words, I have become dejected.
deject -- v. To throw or cast down; to cause to fall down, overthrow; To depress in spirits; to cast down, dispirit, dishearten.
Example: He couldn't decide if he should deject himself by standing over the sodden pool and paying Lenny to shove him over unexpectedly from behind, or to deject himself by continuing to consider the sharp tang of fate's tasty victory over his attempts to procure more pie and coffee.
