"If you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all." — my Grandma

I received the e-mail from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in the middle of December.

I was busy, so I set it off until I wasn’t busy.

I’m glad I got un-busy today, because I really enjoyed going to see the old high school, as well as spend a couple of hours talking to students and reinforcing the concept of how important it is to use the school for what it will teach.

I don’t know if I touched anyone personally, I hope I did, I really went out there to see the place running on a normal schedule.  Well, as normal as it gets with Alumni Day on the books.

But I got to speak frankly with some students, give them answers towards my successes and my failures.

And I’m glad.

Have fun, readers.

Skåll!!!

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, so this must be about 20,000 worth:

(moved pictures to Upgrade to Snow Leopard)

Skåll!!!

Wow.  Long time, no post.  Well, that’s been an overall pattern of most of my friends, and I am just such a follower of crowds.  I mean, the trenchcoat and dress shirt with tie and waistcoat and all.  ;)

What gives?  Life is just such a grind, and instead of overcoming difficulties I’ve become a whiney bitch.  I work to please other people and haven’t honestly looked to myself for a while now.  I thought moving into my new apartment would’ve kicked off a more realistic view of how I’m taking care of myself, but no – not really.  It just gave me a place to do it in.

So, I took two weeks for vacation, and I’m just taking care of things that have piled up around the apartment and resetting my mindset.  Since I’m resetting the N8-OS, why not do an OS upgrade on my laptop?

Today I woke up and shouted to the world, “Snow Leopard – here I come!”

Then I groaned, ’cause hangovers suck. Read more

When did this happen?  ;)

I haven’t really forgotten about this site.  I’ve just had my soul swallowed by Vampire Wars on Facebook.  Damn Facebook games, damn them to an eternity of stale donuts and burnt coffee, with a healthy helping of dried creamer and broken stir-sticks.  And bad musak adaptations of David Bowie, Elton John, and Olivia Newton John.

Well, the fun-factor of Vampire Wars has eased off a bit — you can only get so many minions, fight so many other Vampires, and buy so many upgrades to your vampirical madness, before it just dwindles a ten-minutes-a-day game.  At least, I hope it does.  I’ve been neglecting so many other things, like you.  My precious reader.

Readers.  Right.  Readers.  (I love my family and close friends, they check my blog and e-mail me when I haven’t posted for a while.  Gawd, please bless them all with unlimited lives in the video game of their choice.)

So, what has been up, I ask rhetorically of myself for you since this is a blog and not a chat?

No posts because I’m putzing with stuff, no excitement to life lately.

Well, none I’m going to post about.  It’s really all about privacy, shooting oneself in the foot, and intergalactic conspiracies of ninja-pirates violating space treaties older than this planet.

So nothing to post about.

Here’s something I thought vaguely relevant:
