Sheesh.
It's amazing how time passes. On a Monday, you can't wait for Friday. On Sunday, you so desperately want Monday to wait a few days – even if you love your work, sometimes…you need that weekend. Refreshment for mind and body and soul.
Also, I get to sleep in, sometimes.
I've still had my head crammed in the server -…
So I'm staring at the blank page again.
Man. This is HARD. It's been a while since I've sat down and tried to get myself into the writing mode. Used to be that 1000 words in an hour? Doable. Tonight it's been…um….300. In two hours.
I'm out of practice, which comes as no surprise. I've been focused on…
Apologies to VNV Nation, where I have stolen today's blog title from.
As you can see plastered on the site, my months-long headache in the form of our NEW SERVER is nearly at fruition. I'll be bringing down the old one and installing the new one and then hoping everything works.
Funny things, computers. One never knows if they are…
Frequent readers of this blog – heck even some of you less frequent ones – are aware that I'm quite a music fiend, and rarely do I tolerate silence for long. I have my headphones on with iPod attached even as I type this….
…but I'm not actually listening to music. I've actually got a Podcast playing, the very Aussie…
Well well well.
Rida has ever-so-helpfully reminded me that I have this blog here. And that perhaps some of the, ah, less useful things that I insist on telling her about would perhaps be better served by typing up on Le Blogge, so that our adoring public might have an opportunity to be as bored and lost as she sometimes is.
I love her…
Man, what?
March? Already?
HALF THE MONTH HAS ALREADY PASSED?
Aww man. I was supposed to DO more stuff. Like blogging. Editing. That kinda stuff. Work! Get that @#$$% server beat into shape.
Of course I've been sick (again – @#$@#$ flu season that has gotten me twice now) and busy and to top it all off…
We, that being two of the owners and editors of Draumr, buy a lot of books. What's a lot? Let's just say that the local Borders really should be rolling out a red carpet when we visit.
Anyway. That's not news.
What I'm here to talk about is what we do with those books.
I can't speak for Rida, but typically I buy a book,…
Over a month? Man, it's a wonder Rida hasn't come kick me a few times. Or maybe she did kick me and I just didn't realize what it was for – I'm figure I'm probably due for a couple of kicks regardless of the actual reason. I do tend to misbehave.
Anyway, what to discuss?
Still working on our new server. Stupid…
I refer, of course, to the Writers Strike affecting TV and movies and award shows. (Me, I'm not on strike – non-Union, and, also, not my medium)
Personally I'm not terribly affected by the strike as I don't watch much TV – if it disrupts the Simpsons, I guess, it will rise to the level of my notice. I also see few movies a year, so…
Um, yeah.
I've been buried in the building-of-new-server-for-Draumr so haven't really been as active on here as I should have.
Sorry ya'll.
Rest assured it's in the name of bigger faster stronger MORE POWER! WOOHOO!
Beyond that…. yeah, I'll get back to work.
