Alternate Blog Titles

Considered but discarded:

• It's Better Than Bad. It's Good!
• And How Should I Presume?
• Watermelon Pickle Blog
• Friendship is a Sheltering Tree
• Almost Thirty
• Beyond McSweeney's
• A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
• The Peter Pan Syndrome
• The Second Self
• Life in a Nutshell
• Boyhowdy Lives At The End Of The Hall
• Ed
• I Have Too Much Hair

Obviously, some of these were already taken, and some sound too stupid to last. But when you're faced with a growing community of bloggers and livejournal-ers, almost a million strong, the race is on to call yourself something memorable...or get lost in the shuffle.

For the record, I have a bumper sticker on my van that says Not all who wander are lost. If ever I had a credo, that's it. That, or maybe the best things in life aren't things.

And why bother with the list? Well, it provides good context, if nothing else. Of course, it's also good practice, as one day I hope to write for McSweeney's. Until then, the blog will have to do.
