Feeling obliged to update his blog after a few days away from posting, Jake struggles in his quest to write a blog post protesting the WWWWWW not letting wrestlers own their own characters. He does care about the issue, but he keeps getting distracted.
He thinks about Francine for a time.
He looks out the window at the rain and notes that the drops on the window kind of resemble The Waffle Warrior's face.
Because it's Columbus Day, he reads a bit on the Internet about Columbus and how he tried to enslave the Indians he met. Columbus was pretty brave but that was pretty mean. Jake thinks about trying to draw a parallel between Columbus's actions and those of the WWWWWW in terms of being greedy and trying to control people, but he takes a break and plays a game of Minesweeper on the computer instead.
Monique comes in his bedroom and meows, so he picks her up and pets her and she purrs and purrs and Jake thinks it's not such a bad old life when a warm furry thing is purring in your lap.
He thinks some more about Francine and wonders where exactly their relationship is headed.
He wonders where his life is headed, and if he'll find a job once the teaching gig ends in December.
Maybe the world will end then and he won't have to worry about it, and he thinks that it's depressing when the apocalypse is somewhat comforting.
Monique jumps down as Rudy enters the room, and they both jump on his bed where they take turns licking each other's heads in those hard to reach spots and it's very cute until one of them swats the other and then it's a hissandswatfest until Rudy jumps off the bed.
Jake picks her up and she starts to purr. He pets her and stares at the screen, realizing he just doesn't want to do a blog anymore.
That's OK. It's not a life sentence. It's a free country.
Well, it's not a life sentence anyway.
He decides to delete his blog. He doesn't want it to be up forever like some blogs online which the blogger has abandoned and just sit there forlornly waiting for an update that will never come until someone someday pulls the plug presumably. Some of the blogs on the free hosting services will probably be up forever. Jake wonders what it would be like to stumble upon an ancient blog a hundred years from now. At least, old newspapers have the common courtesy to crumble into dust. The blog might be a gleaming still seeming to be beaming but really a reeming teeming of scheming from a dead dreaming.
He puts up a last post saying goodbye.
He's sure his remaining two readers or so will understand.
