It’s been a few week since I’ve posted. Work has been busy, family stuff has been busy and other stuff has been…eh, a bit crappy (but that’s not for posting here). So I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, but nothing I won’t recover from. Worry not, I’ll be back to being cranky and ranty in no time.



There’s been some news-worth election stuff this month, but mostly the candidates are saying and doing things in pretty much the same fashion they have been for the whole campaign. So I’m just riding things out, catching news a little less frequently than usual (but still frequently enough to know if something major happens) and thinking that election day can’t come soon enough.


Other news stuff has also been pretty much par for the course: The economy still sucks, the NSA is still a den of treason and we’re still violating the sovereignty of any country we feel like. C’est la vie.


I am going to visit with some Ars folks in Chicago next weekend, so that’ll be fun. It’ll be my first trip aboard a Megabus. I’m bringing my iPod, loaded up with Weezer and Lovage, and expecting a quiet trip.


I’ve made a pretty major change this week, which seems minor on its surface but signals a fundamental shift in the focus of my personal life. I hate it, it sucks and I don’t even know if it’s necessary or the right thing to do…but I’m feeling a little painted into a corner and really don’t know what else to do. And it’s not really a subject where I have a plethora of people I can talk to about it, so I’m going to do what I think I should do and try to work through it on my own. I probably won’t post about that in more detail, it’s something I’ve already blabbed too much about to certain people. But it blows, and hard.


But yeah…that’s life. I’m getting up, going to work, waiting for each day to be over so I can go home and go to bed and get up and do it again. Sounds terrible, but even in the happiest lives there are stages like that - I just happen to be in one right now. I have every confidence that I’ll shrug it off eventually. In the meantime, I’ve got lots of Trek episodes on the DVR and know a good pub with a friendly bartender.
