What can I say? It’s good to be away once in a while. Sorry to borrow the old ‘too many balls in the air’ metaphor, but I’ve been juggling a lot of things of late and it was nice to set just one thing aside. This is, I think, the first time I’ve ever been away for an entire month. What have I been up to?

  • Work was crazygonuts busy for a month and a half after we got back from the cruise. It’s calmed significantly since and is actually manageable now… but I'm sure I’ve just jinxed it just now by saying as much.
  • I’ve been teaching myself some of that crazy CSS that the kids are so big on these days. I scored Web Design in a Nutshell from the library, and it’s been a strangely compelling read. It was all theory and no practice at first… until I scored a little web design project to work on. I’m hoping to launch the site in about a week’s time, and after that I can turn my efforts to the old Touch You Last shack.
  • More recently, we’ve been on the road. We drove back to Georgetown this weekend for Sarah’s cousin’s first communion, and we also squeezed in a bunch of long overdue visits. Also: I got to watch a sparkplug literally shoot out of my engine at one point this weekend. But after a towing, a new sparkplug, and a gallon of Elmer’s Sparkplug Glue, the car was road-worthy again.

That doesn’t really account for an entire month. Hmm. Well, when I wasn’t engaged in any of the above, I was either:

  • Chilling out
  • Maxing
  • Relaxing all cool
  • Shooting some b-ball outside of the school

Welcome back to the blogosphere. You were missed. Kelly and I were just whining about your lack of blog posts over pints of Ugly Boy at the Fringe. For serious.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
