In case you don't remember me, let me introduce myself: My name is saskatch and I have been remiss in my blogging duties. Like, really really ridiculously remiss. You don't want to hear my excuses, and honestly, I don't feel like making any up. The truth is that I've been in hibernation—I am part forest creature after all. OK, that's not true. BUT, you could say I have been in a creative hibernation... of sorts. Lucky for me, I have been busy writing and writing for actual work, so in my free time the witty side of my brain has been kicking it in a hammock with a cocktail (an unfortunate situation for Saskatch the Blog). Lucky for both of us, I have some exciting news to share and post ideas a'brewin. Let me just say that BIG changes will be happening around here, so stay tuned. Above all, I missed you, dear readers. Like, a lot. I'm hoping the we can give this another try. Will you take me back? Just to show you I care, please accept this gift from me to you... (who comes up with this stuff? GENIUSES, that's who.)
First, as some of you may know, I absolutely love history. I was the dorky kid who said, "I want to be a cultural anthropologist!" when the other kids shouted, "teacher! firefighter! actress!" I also love wine. When I first saw the following clip, it was almost as if my history-dork-self met my wino-self out at a bar, and when they thought it couldn't get any better, Will Ferrell and Zooey Deshcanel walked through the door. Just watch—you can thank me later.
Second, a friend passed the following along to me. I don't know where or how they found it, but it's solid gold and I'd like to share it with you...

yaaaaay! so glad to have you back, thank you! and seriously. who comes up with this stuff!!! it's mind blowing. all i kept saying to myself was, WHAT??? and then i just start cracking up! wow. amazing. thanks saskatch!
