It's a new day, a new week, a new year. I should be at the rec center right now. Instead, I'm sitting at a computer, eating Dove chocolate and smoothing out the wrappers to make them look pretty. This is why I don't make New Year's Resolutions.
When I wake up of my own devices (only on weekends), I often wake up with a song stuck in my head. Today it was Jason Mraz's "Wordplay." I've had worse.
I feel like I should explain the blog's title and URL a little further. Failanx is a play of words on phalanx, a battle formation in Ancient Greece that has come to mean a number of things in close array. Thus, a failanx is a successive string of fails in close array. The URL, phalanxofpubescence, is from a Dead Poet's Society quote: "Move, you insufferable phalanx of pubescents!" Once again, it's a play on words and ties in with the theme rather nicely.
I hope you enjoyed the first random-day-rambling post. The Washington Post Crossword is calling my name.
