fine whine

First, allow me to apologize for addressing you, the readers, directly. I've tried in the past to keep this impersonal and detached, but I feel like being apologetic today. Bear with me, please, or come back tomorrow when I write about some movies.

I've given up on trying to get myself entirely caught up to the present day, site-wise. Stored in a safe location I have unfinished posts from many days of the previous two months, but I don't even have blank drafts after last Tuesday and I don't want to fabricate any. Chalk it up to the winter blues or whatever but I'm just not going to mess with it.

That said, once I get my computer situation settled (my hard drive died two Mondays ago, losing a lot of things) and my Palm re-synchronized, I do still intend to publish, on their appropriate days, my B-Fest comments and whatnot. I'll point that out when it happens.

Lately I've watched some decent DVDs, and I'll eventually give them a nod as well. Overall, though, I just don't have enough to talk about to fill up another seven days that I can't just say in the coming days and weeks. I had some vaguely timely thoughts last week, but other than wanting to talk about morons paying hundreds of dollars for goldfish surgery, I've long forgotten any of it.

Rather than fabricate that last week, though, I'm going to be up front about skipping it entirely.

Why, why is this, you may ask? Why am I not diligently updating my site, my memory dump for posterity (and because I forget things)? I was so good about it last year, posting something, whether it be a silly one-liner or a silly (three-liner) haiku, or an actual bit of insight (some of which were vaguely worth reading).

Well, I was good about it until last November. I think I got bummed out about failing to write my novel, and haven't gotten back into the swing of typing inside little boxes since. I'm slowly publishing the dregs and the drafts of January so it will eventually , but last week will remain blank.

So thank you, dear readers, for sticking with me. It can only get better from here.
