poor bastard

Or, how I draft a blog post.

Going through these old drafts is pretty entertaining. This post was titled and in my drafts and yet there was nothing written in the body. Now, even I am super curious as to what the hell I was planning to write about!! I started this post in 2007, so the idea is now lost forever and we'll never know what I intended, but knowing Tokyo, this could've been about any number of weirdos I encountered on the streets.

I've learned from mistakes like this so, now, when I've got something I want to write about but maybe don't have time to do all the "research" (i.e., hunt for funny and/or relevant links) and thinking about what I want to say, I'll at least write a few lines or bullets into the text area to remind me when I come back to the post. Then, later, I'll come fill the rest in. Sometimes I've got just enough of the writing juice in me to knock out a whole post in a short amount of time and will get it ready right away. Like this one. :)
