The French have a lovely phrase, “M\u00e9tro, boulot, dodo.” <\/em>It (basically) means, “train, work, sleepy-time.” (dodo is the childish way of saying bedtime). It’s a distinctly French way of saying same-old, same-old. I go to work, I work, I go home and sleep.<\/p>\n

Which, incidentally, is how I’ve felt the last week or so.<\/p>\n

It’s not a bad life. I’ve been relatively happy. And I know that I have lots of exciting things in my future. It would just make for a seriously boring blog post. I have no wish to be this guy from XKCD.<\/p>\n

Oh, shit. French. It’s too late!<\/p>\n

“Today, I bought cute new containers to pack my lunches in! They’re shaped like apples!”<\/p>\n

“Today, I did the elliptical for 45 whole minutes! Boy oh boy did I get my heart rate up!”<\/p>\n

“Today, I met with a friend about ordering papel picados<\/a> for our wedding!”<\/p>\n

Ok, so here’s the deal. I need you to help snap me out of my rut. Ask me some questions. Tell me some things that you’d like me to talk about. At least, if it’s a request, I’ll feel like I’m not wasting everyone’s time. I mean, someone<\/em> wanted to know.<\/p>\n

I like to pride myself on my ability to write somewhat entertainingly on almost any topic, but I just can’t bring myself to tell you all what I had for dinner last night.<\/p>\n

(Spoiler alert! It was chicken soup!)<\/p>\n

So, go ahead, ask me anything. I might even answer you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
