Getting back into the swing of maintaining a weblog. I'm excited about it. The new design is taking shape and it shouldn't be too long until it's in place. Getting my readership going again is going to be a slow haul, though. I think I went from what was once several hundred per day to... well, nada. Just my real-life friends who've been wondering what the hell I've been up to.
So why the lapse? Well, the band was eating up a lot of my creative cycles for the early part of the year. I should have documented more of it but I ended up discovering that only about 5% of the band's existence is fit for public consumption, and that is basically the music and a little bit of PR. The rest is cards played close to the chest. Since dear kerosene was basically all I was doing for those few months, I had little else to talk about.
Other players in my temporary silence? The ever-increasing busyness of my freelance work, a cat (Klaus, the coolest cat in town), World of Warcraft (Metacarpal, my 60 undead mage), and just a general lack of things to say. Sometimes shutting up is good. Not my strong point, though.
