Pointless Introductions

Hello, my name is Chris and I’ll be one of your hosts while Susie is off being busy and important and altogether too fine to continue associating with the likes of us. While I am not, in fact, an angry panda, I do play one on the internets from time to time. A bad habit, to be sure, but nowhere near as hazardous as the drinking and blogging I keep telling myself I can kick whenever I want to.
So why the hell am I here? Good question. I haven’t a clue. Despite my obvious lack of credentials, talent or experience (I’m an art school graduate for chrissake), people keep asking me to write for their blogs, and I keep finding that I lack the intestinal fortitude to say no. Sigh. Just to give an idea of my background here on the tubes, I used to write for my own blog, but gave up on that altogether when I was offered a front page writing spot on Booman Tribune. While I certainly enjoyed that experience and will likely do it again, I’ve never been able to get comfortable and fit in with with the culture that thrives on sites like Booman and Daily Kos and My Left Wing. That discomfort, along with a strong desire to drink more and think less, led me to stop writing all together several months ago. Sadly, Susie used her power of guilt to persuade me to help keep SG warm while she’s attending to the beautiful people.
Now that was boring, wasn’t it? Anyway, I think Susie hoped that I would start blogging here today. Unfortunately, I spent a decent part of the day under general anesthesia having a minor medical procedure performed on some of my rotting innards. Needless to say, I’m still a bit groggy and not feeling quite myself, so this blogging business will just have to wait for a while. I see Dr. S has already arrived, so we’re not completely adrift.
Keep yourselves amused with this performance of So What by the Miles Davis Quintet, featuring John Coltrane.
now I’ll know where to find you!
yeah, chris is a moving target. am i the only one who still drops by his site now and then, looking for more panda goodness?
well i hope this isn’t gonna turn into some kinda jazz blog now!
hope you enjoyed the anesthesia and whatever cure you need doesn’t involve giving up alcohol.
Of course it involves giving up alcohol. Doctors are such ninnys.
Welcome Chris, you are one amusing chap.
Are you related to Pandu Das?
I don’t beleive so, though we have yet to conduct any conclusive genetic tests.
