Another hiatus, hopefully coming to an end

Sometimes writing a blog is akin to being a network programmer. Start something, figure it's not the right time for it, have something better to put on, and the first thing gets put aside for a bit.

In this case, it's been the following:

  • Research Degree Board Form, Part 2
  • DeQuervain's tendinitis
  • The Night of the Gun
  • The need for a livably clean house
  • Small furry animals that like to nuzzle and cuddle now that it's getting cold out
  • Lots of travel, but going nowhere
  • Money
  • Web design work
  • Weston Arts Festival
  • Laverne & Shirley's representation of post-War migration


Hopefully I'll have a bit of time this week and next, and can write about topics like Breaking Bad and albacore tuna.

I almost did a coffee spit take



Just came across this image in an item on Gawker and almost lost a swig of Ethiopian Sidamo on my HP.

This has to be an editorial joke. Having worked in the biz, as it were, you just don't let this kind of thing through without some intention. I was always checking proximities and potential views of things. (This isn't to say that a few amusing things got by; more that I meant them as a joke that maybe only I found funny.)
