"A gun license is good for 5 years, but my medicinal marijuana license is only good for one. You do the math."
*Sorry. Flashback to APA*** citation style.
**"today" was actually "yesterday" but the time I have posted this, possibly further back in history by the time you read this. I heard this on a bus heading downtown and wrote**** this posting on my Palm Pilot with attachable keyboard on the next bus I was on, heading out to the 'burbs. I <3 technology.
***No, not the American Poultry Association. Although they do have a book called "Living with Chickens," by which I am intrigued. However, I'm not sure what citation style they use.
****Ever since I first saw 8 Mile******, which I saw in the theatre when it first came out, everytime I take a long bus ride, I feel like I should be writing a rap song. Granted, Eminem wasn't writing on a Palm Pilot and I couldn't write a rap song to save my life, so writing blog posts will have to be sufficient.
******I just have to say that the sex scene between Eminem and Britney Murphy in 8 Mile is one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever seen on film*******.
*******Have you been able to follow all these footnotes? Is it nerdy to have more writing in footnote form than in the actual body of the posting? Is it nerdy that I wrote the HTML code to superscript the asterisks******** while composing this on my keyboard on the bus? Was it nerdy, as Danielle contended, that I went to the library and took out the a book on computer programming, by Stephen Hawking, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*********? I also got Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage, but Danielle said that just made it look like I was trying not to look to geeky by throwing some literature in there.
********I would have written the HTML code for the hyperlinks as well, but I didn't have the URLs of those things to which I wanted to link.
*********Which I picked up so as to complete my Hitchhiker Trilogy entries on my other blog

I won't lie - I'm a little bit exhausted after trying to follow the footnotes.
But I think I managed it. ;-)
Mmmmm.... footnote-y. David Foster Wallace would be proud. Not Wanted on the Voyage totally pushed my shit in. Which is to say: it was rather good.
When your footnotes can gang up on the main body of your writing and beat the shit out of it with time to spare...

...you have a lot of footnotes.
