Toby
Everyone should have a best friend; it is just wrong not to have one. It was Halloween when we met, and I have to say that it was perfect timing. My mom had made me a costume and I was lucky enough to go out as Batman, with the belt, the weapons and other stuff that made it look like I really was a superhero (I always wanted to be a superhero). My friends were already out there, and I would meet them on the corner to head out, just like we always did. I brought out two bags with me – just pillowcases, but the best – and came home straining with them both. My mom had me take a bath after I got home and then I just had to go to bed (a school night, she said). Only had one or two candies (some caramels and Rockets, always my favorites), and then I put the bags under the bed.

How Logical
This is definitely a cheat. I am talking about my choice of song for Annie Kapur’s private Challenge, “Sing us the Song of the Century”. I could have chosen so many famous numbers from the twentieth century (assuming that this is the century that she is referring to; I am not too attracted to the noises of our new age). But I have to go back to a song that I have already written about on this page. As I said, this is definitely a cheat.

SNAFU!
I feel like this is old territory, but that it must be reviewed. I recently discovered a podcast hosted by Ed Helms called “SNAFU”. For those of you who are not familiar with this particular acronym, it means “Situation Normal – All Fucked Up”. I believe that it originated with the military, and yet it seemed perfect for the modern civilian age. And then I listened to the very first episode.
