why blogging has been so light lately.

Well, it has to do with a rarely-mentioned topic on this blog: Real life. I just started a new job, and things have been pretty hectic.

That’s my excuse, anyway. The truth is, the only news I can bear to watch these days is the faux-news of the Stewart and Colbert variety. I’ve been getting headaches again when I try to watch anything else, so it’s time for a breather.

If you are intent on getting the blood pressure to skyrocket, however, I suggest checking out the links in the blogroll on the lefthand side of this page. Meanwhile, I’m still around and posting, but expect things to be spotty for a bit until I get back on track. Thanks for your understanding.

Heading westward to the Big Apple Big Smoke tomorrow, for a few days. Try not to miss me too much.

Sorry for the lack of weightier posts since my return to blogging. You surf over here looking for Gilad Shalit or North Korea, and instead you get treated to googling and hockey talk.

Well, I make no apologies, but I do have plenty of good excuses.

For one thing, it’s bloody hot outside and, by extension, in here. Too hot to think, let alone rant.

For another, I’m still not caught up on the main news headlines since I’ve been away, let alone on all the zillions of bloggers who have been covering them. The travel bubble is all-encompassing, and it’s ironically easier to learn about what’s going on “out there” while “in here”.

Besides, the news is kind of like a bad soap opera: stop reading it for a few months and pick it up again, and you’ll realize that nothing much has changed. Same shit, different day. Frankly, it’s exhausting.

So I’ll probably be blogging about fluff for a while yet. But hey, it’s summer, we can all use a little lighter fare these days, right? If not, you know where to go for your servings of meat.

Yep, it’s really me! Not a mirage or an illusion, I’m actually up and running again.

So… did anyone miss me? Didn’t think so. But on the off chance that someone is actually checking this site, regular blogging resumes as of now. Sorry for the long hiatus, but those of you who know me know where I was and understand why I couldn’t blog. As for everyone else, well, suffice to say that I’ve been travelling for a while, and I’m sure that stories from the road will be creeping into my posts from time to time.

It may take me a bit of time to catch up on what’s actually been going on in the world, but I promise to entertain you with random thoughts and tidbits until I can get some meatier postings going.

It sure is good to be home! (Where’s my ticker tape parade?)

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m on a blogging break. A fairly extended blogging break, most likely. Not yet sure when I’ll be back, but I recommend checking out some of the links on the blogroll for your reading in the meantime. Thanks for your patience.

(By the way, to cut down on spam, I’ve temporarily suspended comments.)

I’m in limbo.

I don’t like to discuss my real life on the blog, so I won’t go into details. Suffice to say that there are a lot of very big changes going on in my life right now, and I’ve been too preoccupied to blog. I’ll update more when I can.

My hectic schedule lately and quick trips are making blogging sporadic at best. Hang in there – I’ll be back soon!

Work situation is sucky at the moment, hence the lack of posting. But I haven’t disappeared. So please, play nice.

Yes I’m still alive. Yes, I’m exhausted. Yes, the flight home from New York was late (again). No, I have not yet unpacked. No, I have no idea how I’m going to catch up on work before the Holidays next week. No, I probably won’t have any time to blog about the zillion things that have happened in the world last week or the zillion more that will happen this week. Sorry.

In the meantime, here’s your new thread. Enjoy.

I’ve been a bit too busy to blog – but never fear, I shall return soon!
