forging continuity

I call my blog Dog because:

1) Amongst my friends at my old office, dog came to signify the point where a conversation breaks down and two people just can't understand each other anymore. In times of conversational impasse, writing can lessen the awkwardness.

2) My boyfriend loves dogs. Which means underneath all the inappropriate behavior he exhibits on a daily basis, deep down, he has some charmingly redeeming qualities.

3) My boyfriend's blog has an obscenely long title, which sacrifices aesthetics for space in my Links section. In the spirit of contrariness, I choose "Dog."
