'Ello.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I suck.
To tell the truth, I was possibly a little put out by the lack of a zombie hoard outside my door on the 21st.
It impeeded my blogging skills for a whole month.
And now the 21st has rolled around again.
I am free to update.
Now here's the hard part.
(You ready for this?)
The hard part is... How to put this?
Oh, no no no. I can't tell you. This is too painful to mention.
Grrr. Fine, annoying voice in my head that tells me that I just can't leave people hanging like this. I shall tell them.
But you know what? I shall do it in a spontaneous way.
#1 Want to know how? Look at number 4.
#2 Mary had a little lamb... It wanted you to look at number 7.
#3 The truth is... I just wanted to say... (Continued on number 8.)
#4 Oh, but it's hard to say. Look at number 9.
#5 Ha! I had you going there... But seriously, look at number 10.
#6 What? You're not finding this amusing? Fine. Look at number 3.
#7 Knock, knock? (Who's there?) Number 6.
#8 HI. ;)
#9 Okay... here goes... Look at number 5.
#10 You really have no idea how hard this is for me. Look at number 2.
Okay. Well, now that that is over, the truth is that I was having a hard time thinking up something to blog about. But now that is taken care of. So... Miranda out!

Be Prepared.
Hi.
'Tis I.
As you probably know, December 21st is coming up.
(No, I don't think the world will end on that day.)
However, the Zombie Apocalypse is a different matter.
My question for you is How prepared are you?
If you are unsure of the answer to this question, I have taken the liberty of putting together a short multiple choice quiz to determine your degree of readiness in the face of a Zombie attack.
Here goes.
ONE. Where would you go if you woke up and your town was infested with zombies?
a) Walmart.
b) Nowhere, I'd stay put.
c) Your grandmother's house.
TWO. You're backed up against a wall, with Zombies coming at you from all directions. What would be the best way to escape them?
a) Point away from them, scream "Hey! What's that?" and then run away.
b) Douse them with gasoline and light 'em up.
c) Curl into a ball and sob loudly.
THREE. Someone has come to take you to safety, and you have 5 minutes to gather what you want to bring. What do you take?
a) Your phone, your laptop, and your gaming system.
b) Food, blankets, and matches.
c) As many of your photo albums as you can carry.
FOUR. What is your favorite color?
a) Orange.
b) Blue.
c) Red.
FIVE. You and the group of people that you've banded together with are going to take a last stand against the Zombie horde. When they are handing out the weapons, which one do you take?
a) The bow and arrows with a canister of rags soaked in gasoline and a lighter.
b) A double-bladed ax with a long handle.
c) The shotgun.
Okay. Got it all filled out? Highlight down from here-
If you got-
Mostly a's: Not too bad. You might actually survive. Then again, maybe not.
Mostly b's: Good for you! You'll probably live. And if you don't, you will have tried your very best.
Mostly c's: You need help. Find your local geek. Get them to show you the ropes. You could use it.
-to here to see the right answers.
So now that you know your results, act on them. After all, the Zombies might be coming. Don't be caught unprepared.

A Current Obsession.
Ollo!
Question: Have you heard of the Piano Guys?
Answer: (Should be Yes. If it's not, prepare to be enlightened.)
The Piano Guys are actually a guy who plays the piano and a guy who plays the cello.
They do so quite well and are really awesome.
For example, one of their songs is a version of One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful, played by five guys on one piano.
Pretty epic stuff.
Here is a link to one of my favorite songs by them.
Piano Guys- Peponi.
Enjoy. Join the obsession. Miranda Out.

The Elusive Art of Focus.
Hey.
Focus is an art.
Truly.
Like any art, it can be developed.
Not like film.
Through practice.
My problem?
I tend to lose focus while practicing.
I'll be honing my focus skills, going along well, and then suddenly- poof! My focus is gone.
I am sure that I am not the only one with this issue.
However, it is a choice.
Bind ourselves down to focus and get things done, but miss some of the greater moments in life?
Or never make your deadlines, but be able to embrace the small things in the world around us?
You can see my dilemma.
But now I have grown bored with typing.
Goodbye. Miranda out.

Time Breaks the Sound Barrier.
Hello, hello!
Today's post is about Time.
You know how people often say that Time flies?
It's true. Whether you're having fun or not.
In fact, Time is flying so fast, it has broken the sound barrier.
(Yep. That was what that loud noise was.)
To illustrate my point, consider the fact that today is November 30th.
ALREADY.
What is up with this? November just started.
There is not much snow on the ground.
It can't be December already. We just had Halloween!
Insanity. Craziness, I tell you.
Huh.
I wonder which airline Time uses.
I myself prefer Delta.
Well, that is all. Have fun riding Time.
Enjoy your complimentary pretzels.

About Teh Fish.
Hi!
It is me.
You may have noticed the little fish pond to the right of my posts.
(If you haven't, quick scroll down and take a look.)
Now. Two things.
ONE. These fish have names.
The bright blue one is named Joanne.
The reddish one is named Suzanne.
The green one is named Rick.
The yellow one is named Michelle.
And the light blue one is named Simon James Aleksander Ragsdale the Third.
(Just kidding. His name is William. I call him Bill.)
TWO. These are not regular fish. Don't tell anyone, but they are actually Ninja fish. So please, do not feed them by clicking on their pond.
However fun it may be.
Seriously.
(Eh, not really. You can feed them if you want to.)
So yeah. Now you know about teh Fish.

Hoarding Daylight.
Ollo, peoples!
Today's post is about the Hoarding of Daylight, a.k.a, Daylight Savings time.
It ended yesterday, you know. If you didn't, then that is why you have been early to all your appointments today.
So yeah. Thanks a lot, Benjamin Franklin.
What's the deal with it anyway?
I mean, where does the extra hour go? It's kind of like regrouping. Someone decided, hey, let's chop off an hour on a day here in spring (causing a day with only 23 hours,) and keep it.
I bet it's like a chocolate bar that someone accidental leaves in the pocket of the jeans that they pack away for the summer. When they finally pull the jeans out again in fall, the chocolate has become malformed.
Arizona and Hawaii have the right idea.
But seriously, where does the hour go? Who takes it? The president? Is there a little drawer in his desk reserved just for the extra hour? Does it spilt for New Zealand when nobody is looking? And why does it always come back? (Causing a day with 25 hours?)
The whole business is highly irritating.
