An Apology for Laziness

          Wow, it sure has been a long time since we all wrote on this thing. But I can bet you that it probably has been less than a few days since one or another of our esteemed writers has thought about writing on this blog. In fact, I can promise you that Adelle and I have said this sentence to one another every time we've done anything together in the past twelve months. "You know, I think we really should start the blog back up again..." To which the other one of us will reply, "Hey! Me too! We really should do it. Maybe after we watch this movie/ read this review / plan this fundraiser/ write this essay. Then we'll have loads of time!"

           Yeah, right. We never have time. Not during Fall Break or Christmas or Chinese New Year (Yes, yes, I know it's not just the Chinese that celebrate it, but it has such a nice ring to it. Lunar New Year just sounds so... vague and Professor Trelawney-ish). Students never have time for anything these days anyway. Not in between studying and extracurriculars and League of Legends (all the 8th grade boys) and Personal Projects (all those poor 10th graders) and such. I, of course, only have time for reading.

          Anyway, I'm very sorry for not writing on here. I'm also very sorry that the last two articles posted on this website before we all went on a year long hiatus were semi-crazy rants by Adelle. (She means well. It is not her fault that summer vacation is not kind on the cat ladies of the future.) I am also sorry about the half a dozen unfinished articles saved in the draft corner of the blog. I always meant to finish them, and now I have the time I cannot remember what on earth any of them is supposed to be about. (One of them is from Alex who titled her draft: Chanel 4 needs to stop wear their ass as a hat.  Shame she couldn't have finished it. It seems like a very interesting piece of reporting, though I am quiet curious about this whole numbered Chanel business. I wasn't aware there were different types.)

          There, that's it. If you would like me to grovel some more (not that I did very much of it above anyway), please leave a comment. Just let it be noted that Chichi is clearly the only writer here with any real decency and common courtesy. We're all going to be waiting for apologies from other writers, and if theirs are too late in showing up, we'll pick out punishments for them, okay?

Love you guys, I'll write some more soon,






P.S. Oh my gods, did you guys know that the Laggies trailer with Chloe Moretz and Kiera Knightly is up? Yes it is!!! Here's the link. Love me.

P.P.S. And the equally awesome (ha! pun) trailer to The Equalizer.
