(I'm back) (kinda)

My unpluggage officially ended last night at 12:01.  I went to several of my favorite blogs and commented.  There're a few things I forgot about blogging: 1. It's a bit of a chore when you're tired.  2. I hate comment moderation, when you're in the grove it's not so annoying, but last night it sure was.  3. Bloggers are awesome: you go away for a week and you come back to the coolest posts and the best comments that you may have taken for granted otherwise.


I like the Blogosphere.


I am temporarily going into Every-Other-Mode, meaning I will be posting every other day.  This is in effect as I try and catch up on all the stuff I was supposed to do during my unpluggage, but I was busy travelling and getting drunk, and I bought a new computer, so I had to set that all up.  Anyway, I have a few successes to report
1. I did not make it to ten thou, but close: 8,654.
2. I created a pretty blog button for a friend.
3. I purchased two writing aid books, more on Friday.
4. W.I.B.I.J.?! is catching on, more on that tomorrow.


I've missed you.

  8. Missed you! It's been quiet without you. Don't worry, you didn't miss anything, nobody posted. We all sat around and moped.

    Maybe that was just me.

  10. This is your old computer. I am planning on haunting you in your sleep. How could you ever give me up for a skanky new model? And I bet she's female.

    P.S. Even in my discarded state, I'm going to keep visiting the blogs you follow. Anita Laydon Miller's is my favorite.
