I live!
Yes, I am still alive and no, I have not forgotten I have a blog. Really! I think it’s safe to crown myself, if not “World’s Worst Blogger” at least “Horribly Inconsistent Blogger” though. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and a lot of playing video games, started repainting my house, hanging out with family and new friends, and continued my efforts, however sluggish, to pare down my possessions. My efforts at weight loss and jogging have not fared so well, I’m sorry to say. We stopped running at least two months ago during a string of bad weather-induced laziness. Around the same time, I stopped tracking the points of the food I’ve been eating, but I’m pleased to say I haven’t gained any significant weight back. I feel like I’ll be able to maintain my current size.
I plan to write more posts to expand on some of the things I’ve been up to, but for tonight, I just wanted to post to show I’m still here. I’ve figured out a way to keep the Twitter digest posts off the front page, which I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. (If you’re curious, I installed the “Simply Exclude” plugin for WordPress, which allows me to block my “Twitter Updates” category from the front page.) And, in an overt display of the malleability of history on the Internet, I started making preparations to cancel our SmugMug account by editing some old posts and attaching photos directly to them where it makes sense to do so. Sometimes I added so many photos to those galleries at once, or from such a broad swath of time, that the only sensible option will be to create new posts containing those photos and backdate them to approximately where they belong. That project will take me a little while, and I will probably directly attach fewer photos than were available at SmugMug because as I look through those photos now, I realize I wasn’t very selective at the time.
