Just enough random pieces to make a whole post.

I figure I should post something.

I have at least one loyal reader (who happens to also be a dear friend) who can get cross if I don't post often enough.

Sometimes I can't arrange my thoughts coherently enough to get my ideas out of my head and into a post.

Some of my ideas are half formed, some are all tangled up, some drift in for a few moments then are lost never to be reformed as eloquently or interestingly as the first time they showed up.

So here is a post about very little, but maybe it's enough for today.

"First create the supply. Then manufacture the demand."

C took a nap earlier this evening (still trying to catch up on sleep from CopperCon), as a result he was up later than the girls tonight, and I started wandering around blogs to pass the time till he conked out. After following a link from LawDog to In Jennifer's Head, I went from there to Abstruse Goose.

I've only read two strips, the rest may suck, but this one is so relevant to us these days. This is what I keep telling H when she complains about the mini-infomercials that broadcast on Qubo (our 24 hour cartoon channel). First they demonstrate an imaginary need (or make things look harder, messier, more confusing than they really are), then present a solution that is only needed if you believe the first half of their commercial. H gets so mad at them for trying to sell stuff neither she nor any member of our family needs.

H was already asleep when I found the strip, so I'll have to wait till tomorrow to show it to her.
