Why This Week's Ringing Got Canceled
Sep 30, 2006 at 10:15PM
You know I found out today the inspection sticker had expired on my pick-up-- in Feburary.
And folks are constantly complaining about my absent mindedness saying, "Billy, if you don't learn to take care of the day to day stuff you're never going to get it together; you'd probably loose your own head if it wasn't tied on."
Believe me, having your head tied on doesn't keep you from loosing your head-- I lose mine all the time.
As for the Ringing Of The Bards-- the poetry carnival reborn... Well not only do I manage the carnival but I'm the host for this week. The problem is: I've lost one of the submissions. Terry McDermott left his poetry submission in the comments to one of my blog posts but I can't remember which one it was. Let's see, maybe it was this one? No, I don't believe that was it-- that doesn't even look like my blog. Maybe I should look under these leaves?
Now that was really dumb-- I mean who would ever expect to find a poem under a pile of leaves anyway? Bob may not be too happy that I tore apart all those leaves he raked up. I guess I'll have to apologise.
Maybe Shirley knows where Terry's poem is. Nope, nothing here.
I bet I left it a Jo Ann's. That's got to be it. Nope, nothing. Damn, I'm such an idiot, why can't I ever remember anything? Terry's going to think I just didn't care enough to post his poem and I'm sure he'll be mad-- I know I would be.
I know, I'll ask Abhay. He's smart, maybe he can help me find Terry's poem? Wrong again-- I should have known Terry's poem wouldn't be in Moscow-- what's wrong with me?
Did you know Madeleine Begun Kane was featured on Boing, Boing this week? Now that she's a big star she probably thinks it's torture having to put up with my always asking her to help me find things.
Maybe Katy has seen Terry's poem-- I'll go ask. Oops maybe I should ask her when she's not so busy.
I know, Ozy will know where it is. Nope, nothing at Ozy's place.
Maybe I should ask Daniel to see if his tarot cards can find Terry's poem? I bet everybody thinks me a zero, just one big fool. How am I ever going to be able to live this down?
I feel so silly. I just remembered where I put Terry's poem. I would have thought nothing about it if not for the fact that... What's that? Say it's not there either? Man, I am so confused.
Well, so much for this week's poetry carnival. I really blew that-- they're all going to be pissed at me now but how could I feature the rest if I didn't feature Terry? I mean, fair's fair, right? Oh well, maybe Daniel will do a better job next week.
