The man in black fled across the desert...

Over yonder, people are getting excited about getting cool avatars like the one on my blog and in the comments Henry Bierman called us a blog-tet. This pleased me all out of proportion. I thought about it for while and then realized that since I first read King's Dark Tower* books I was quite taken with the idea of a ka-tet. Jumping from job to job (with little success) and now state to state has left me wishing there was some force out there bringing purpose to my life, that there was something that I am supposed to do, something important. It's not much, but being a part of a blog-tet gives me at least a little of that feeling of belonging.


*I've been totally corrupted by my husband, I had to think hard when typing Dark Tower so that I wouldn't instead type Dork Tower, a very funny RPG comic that he reads.

I don't think "corrupted" is the right word exactly. I prefer to say you were "enlightened" by my sci-fi/fantasy/gamer obsessions. That said, I had the exact same problem last time I tried to type "Dark Tower." Wierd. And I guess it doesn't matter what you call it, though, because Susan and I are linked and locked for all time. :)
