Busy Busy

Folks, I’m sure you’re disappointed in me for the rather alarming number of missed posts recently. I am as shamed as you are. I’m probably going to take a little bit of time this evening to write up some shorter posts and pre-load them for the month of March just so I don’t have to scramble for Bailout first thing in the morning. I’ll have to have some canned posts ready for during the convention, at the very least. Still, it’s my goal to make sure that I have a fresh post ready for you all once the convention preparation period is over. Thank you for bearing with this.

Relative Demerits

There are a lot of advantages to having a very active social life, but there are also drawbacks. I’m certainly not the most outgoing person in the world, though, and I greatly admire my friends who seem to do so much more than I do.

Now, if they’d just lend me their time machines, things would be OK…

Y’know, there are days when I ask myself, “Why I am so derp?”, and there are days when I think I could give Wile E. Coyote a run for his money.

Guess what kind of day today was.

I did up a post over the weekend and forgot to, y’know, POST it. It’s going up tonight.

The Season Of Dis-Content

John — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 00:38:24 +0000

Honestly, today was the first opportunity I’ve had in a very long time to sit down and do up a blog post. Then I managed to contract terminal writer’s block and have nothing of any substance or value to provide to you folks. I apologize.

If I get the chance and the motivation to do so this weekend I’ll set aside an hour or so and give folks the rundown on how things have been progressing. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out a way to integrate Tumblr into my content-generation routines, and coming up kind of short. What I have put up today, though, should go a long way towards alleviating my disquiet.

Yeah

Sorry for the silence, folks, but I’ve been a little busy. Basically, what happens when you get a life in the real world is, you can no longer blog about it on the electrowebs. However, in a little while, I’ll be able to pull the curtain back a little bit on what it is I’ve been doing.

Enjoy The Silence

So I’m all settled in and ready to get the Kurokiiro Festival underway. As such, we’re going to be a little quiet here on the blog. You could say that the blog is playing The Quiet Game so that I can play several dozen other, rather louder games.

Of course, that would be silly, but you could say it.

In A Pinch

I managed to get most of the game systems binned up for the trip to Kurokiiro Festival tonight, and also got the metal DDR pad into the car early (as I wasn’t sure if it would fit– fortunately it does). Overall I’m really looking forward to the festival.

Then again, it is 11:30p and I am gibberingly tired, so, yeah.

Yeah, I missed a day. Not on purpose, I can assure you. Plus, the previous two days have been kind of terse. Maybe I ought to start there and explain a little.

Some of the weirdness that’s been going on these past two or three weeks has not stemmed from the move, but from the fact that at work, we’ve been wrapping up a release candidate. Friday was the last day for that, and as a result I ran into a situation where I needed to make a 30-mile trip into the unknown on Saturday morning in order to deal with some of the fallout. I had literally no idea where I was going, and if I hadn’t got there before noon, the goal would cease to exist. Fortunately, a) I had the GPS unit, and b) I woke up at 5a anyway and got there at 10a. So my store of adrenaline was pretty well gone by noon. My car wasn’t damaged or anything; the trip was smooth, though there was a small detour.

So that brings me to yesterday afternoon, the first point since… oh, July, where I had the weekend to myself and no major obligations left. I did a little bit of cleaning up, but the majority of the day was spent right where I am now– on the couch. Unfortunately, you know what they say about inertia, and around 9p I was asleep. I woke up at 11p to get a blanket from the bed but other than that I was done. (Sue me, the couch was already warm and the bed was not.)

Today, really, should be more of the same; I’ve got to take a quick run out to get groceries for the coming week or so, and later on a friend or two will be over to help test out Rock Band 3 in local multiplayer. Because if there’s one thing that I really want to do today, it’s rock.

So, I suppose, that means I’m going away. I hope you don’t mind. But, for tomorrow’s post, I promise you, I’ll be back in time.

………….all this has been a really convoluted excuse for saying that I also watched the Back to the Future Trilogy yesterday.

Come Sale Away

John — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 00:42:45 +0000

As part of the moving, today I had a little yard sale, only without the yard. I only had two customers, who between them, bought everything I was offering and a couple things I wasn’t considering until later. Unfortunately, between keeping things tidy and hauling stuff up stairs, I didn’t get to gather my thoughts on Mega Man Legends 3 (which is really happening, after years of me whining for it) or pretty much anything else. I’m sure you’ll understand, but I’m planning on getting those remarks written up tomorrow.
