November 30th, 2006So there’s something we need to talk about dear hannihaus readers. And this one’s pretty tough so I’m going to cut right to the chase:
I am a slack ass.
The frequency with which I’ve been posting is pretty lame. And you’ve probably been disappointed. It’s OK. I’ve been disappointed too …
Not so much with this blog mind you, but I’ve been disappointed with other things. For instance, the war in Iraq is pretty shitty. The American health care system sucks. And one time I hit a link that said “Click to see Britney Spears clam,” but all that displayed was her crotch. Frankly, I would’ve preferred to see a mollusk.
But anyway, dear hannihaus readers, apologies are in order and I want to say I’m sorry. This blog’s your mistress and I, the author, have been a lazy lover.
… But that all changes today.
This afternoon, whilst lurking the Net I came across a little something called NaBloPoMo. For those who are unfamiliar, NaBloPoMo is short for “National Blog Posting Month.” Both based in November, NaBloPoMo is the little sister to NaNoWriMo, a program that challenges writing nerds to crank out a novel in thirty days.
While I’m a writing nerd, I’m too lazy to pen a novel. Instead, I’d like to announce my participation in NaBloPoMo.
!!!
That’s right baby birds, I hope you had your mouths wide open because Mama just fed you a big, juicy worm.
This is a historic day. I, Hänni of the Haus, am promising you, dear readers—that no matter how arduous the task, no matter how much it sucks—I will write.
I will write like my blog depends on it, because for the purposes of NaBloPoMo, it does.
Indeed dear hannihaus readers, the era of lethargy has ended and the era of industry has arrived.
The dawn of daily posting is upon us–For every remaining November day left in this, the year of our lord 2006, I promise to post.
…
But I’m kind of tired right now. So I think I’ll start tomorrow.

gary–I’m not exactly sure what “drygulched” means (is it a Texas term?), but I think you’re probably right.

See, and THAT right there is what I should have done. NaBloPoHoweverYouSpellIt. Pshaw.
Ok, I’m better now. But it was the prizes! The glorious! endless list of sometimes useless prizes that won me. I. Can’t. Resist. (The Promise of Potential) Presents.

DaReaVeRoFBiTs–Guilty.
kerrianne–Do sense a little hostility my frantically-blog-posting friend? Know what NaBLoWhateverItsNuts should give each participant as a prize? A lollipop b/c anyone who would subject themselves to the torture of daily posting is a SUCKER!
Paddymick–Just telling it like it is my blogging brother, just telling it like it is.
