biting off more than you can chew to anyone.

I certainly do. Well, in what I believe marks the third (no... Actually, now that I think about it, it's the FOURTH!). For the fourth time this week, I have stuck my foot in my mouth in an online correspondence. That's got to be a new record for me.

Well, here it is, the official correction: This morning, when announcing that someone had won last night's contest, in my commentary, I used fake statements enclosed in quotes to try to make a semi-humorous point about the whole endeavor. This afternoon, I got an email from that same person asking that I stop misrepresenting them here.

It was never my intention to lead anyone to believe that this person had actually said (or written) those words. But after reading it again, I concluded that it could easily be interpreted as such.

So, once again, the contest winner DID NOT actually use the words I wrote. Those were my words and mine alone.

This person further stated that they have every intention of claiming the prize. They just need a little time to find a url fitting such a distinction.

I've already sent a private email, but I'll say it here: I apologise. More care shall be taken in the future.

Moving on... What have I done over the course of the day? A hell of a lot of nothing, it seems.

After this morning's rambling, I cooked up a little toast, eggs, and potatoes. I was kind of planning to watch the usual round of Saturday afternoon fantasy shows, but when Lost World came on, it was a rerun. Also one of the lamer episodes, as I recalled. I decided I had better things to waste my time on, so I...

Went back to bed for two more hours. lol.

I awoke, watched part of Cleo 2525 -- also a rerun, and did some surfing.

And now I find myself getting hypnotized by this Smashing Pumpkins cd I just started playing.

And now, as I contemplate the evening, I'm finding my mood on the slightly sullen side.

Wait a second! Now that I think again, it could technically be FIVE. Five feet in the mouth since the beginning of the week. (Well, depending on how we count it, because on one occassion, I stuck my foot in my mouth once, admitted to regretting the statement, but then came to realize that things probably would have been better off had I never mentioned anything or apologized in the first place. See, the victim had never taken offense until I apologized for having insulted them. But actually, I never meant to insult them at all, but was initially trying to make a joke, which I later realized could have been taken as a slight, but was never even interpreted as such until I opened up my big mouth. Oh Gawd, I'm probably just digging myself deeper with every word now.)

So, to everybody (and yes, I am quite certain that all the people I'm apologizing to are regular readers of this page. All two of you. lol.): I'm sorry. Next week, I shall endeavor to be more considerate of everyone.

There. Now, on with life...
