The irony fridge

Welcome to my new internet-based home for a very special brand of madness.  My own.  The name of this blog was inspired by a comic strip I read years and years ago. Somehow, a character had set a fire inside of a working refrigerator, and this was a serious problem (…as it should be. I personally can’t think of a more inconvenient place to have a fire … besides your bed). Anyway, the flames were evidence that the lives of these comic strip characters had descended into utter chaos. They’d allowed their major appliance to be destroyed on a whim. But if you knew these characters (and were already familiar with their carelessness and total disregard for the rules), you would’ve already resigned yourself to the possibility that something this ridiculous would eventually happen.That conflagration symbolized the way I felt about my creative life.  Inconvenient, silly, unnecessary, but inevitable. Enjoy my fridge fire.
