I have not been keeping up to speed on things this month, mainly because my other writing work has kept me too busy to do much else. I also spent a lot of time trying to open the package that contained my car charger for my cell phone. When I drove to Milwaukee this past Friday, I spent a good 10 minutes in the car try to open the malleable plastic package--I even stabbed at the damn thing with my keys, only to see it quasi-cave in before my eyes. The only way it opened was after repeated stabbings ... a small air pocket erupted which was only larger to fit my thumb. I am still trying to understand the uneasiness of this matter.
