Isn’t the Light OK?

Screw the con­ven­tional blog­ging wis­dom (ie. “don’t apol­o­gize or oth­er­wise even acknowl­edge that you haven’t been post­ing”). This is not an apol­ogy, just an update of sorts. If noth­ing else, it’s for me, so I can keep tabs on just where the days have gone.

• Carla and I decided, for rea­sons emo­tional and finan­cial, to put our house on the market.
• Our cat, Glad­ice, went on to the great mouse hunt in the sky after 17 years.
• We moved in with my mother-in-law a nice older lady who kindly offered to rent half her house to us.
• I started post­ing more and more lit­tle updates to Twit­ter and Face­book, and as a result have seem­ingly had less to say on the blog proper. (If you’re read­ing this from Face­book, it might alle­vi­ate your con­fu­sion to know that Face­book is auto-importing posts from my blog as notes.)
• I started becom­ing more inter­ested in mak­ing things. Not even nec­es­sar­ily writ­ing songs – just cre­at­ing. Pen­cil sketches, guest posts on oth­ers’ blogs, ugly PSD mock­ups of fake band websites…when the time is right, I may share this stuff (or at least the stuff that’s not cur­rently pub­lic), but for now the process of mak­ing it is good enough.
• I lost some momen­tum on the song­writ­ing front, which usu­ally hap­pens when life gets in the way. But the study is now arranged and my music equip­ment set up, so that should change soon.
• And oh, the social engage­ments. Con­certs, ball­games, once-in-a-lifetime Geek sin­gu­lar­ity events, ran­dom get-togethers with friends…considering the cir­cum­stances, it’s been a good summer.

And now that I’ve caught you all up (and by “you all,” of course, I mean “me”), I may just resume blog­ging about every­thing and nothing.

I may just.
