A Long List of Songs

Posted on | April 25, 2009 at 12:59 pm | 8 Comments

Still alive. Still very busy. Still working a lot. Still not sleeping. Still totally stressed. Lots and lots of transitions hitting all at once. Really not feeling the blog thing any more (or even Twitter), which I knew would happen once I stopped daily posting. At least N has been all moved in since the beginning of the month, and I am managing to get back into the regular gym workouts.

I wish I had gotten some pix of the family of foxes living in my neighbor’s yard, but they vacated before I could get a decent shot. I did get one video, but you can’t see much in it.

Latre.

Pet Peeve of the Day: When the local channels forget to “throw the HD switch” and I record a show expecting it to be in HD and instead get standard def and the black bars on all sides.

Poignant Search Term Of The Day That Led To This Blog: “heathenism resort, mexico”.

Videogame(s) Played Since Last Blog Update: I actually finished Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS) and have started on Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS). It’s been forever since I’ve played an PS3 games, but I think that’s because anytime I turn on the TV, I feel the need to get through my huge DVR backlog.

    Thought you were off in Mexico risking the drug wars and eloping or something. I’ll call off the APB.

    “Heathenism” sounds like where druids go for vacation.

    Pet Peeve of the Day: People who get you interested in blogging, then obsessively blog every day for a whole year, thus burning out on blogging. And getting “too busy” to blog, too.

    Flasshepoint is currently undergoing a reevaluation process. Please excuse the large empty room.

    Why is it no one ever overgoes anything? It’s always undergoing this, undergoing that – what gives those things the right to overgo us, I’d like to know!

    Blogging is so early-00’s – Twuttering is what the cool kids are doing, or were last week anyway.

    I’m gonna start a picoblogging site where you can only send one Unicode character at a time, but for distances of up to 140 miles in any direction.

    In lieu of the blogging for now, I’m trying to keep my twittering more up to date…

    Although I’m not sure NASA will let me do it from space.
