Well.
It's been a while, hasn't it? I have reasons (read: excuses) for not updating this- to list a few: college, other web responsibilities, other hobbies, etc.

But really, that doesn't account for not looking at this site for a few months.

Whatever.

Some new things you should see soon: my last.fm sidebar, and some cool HTML things I've learned courtesy of my web portfolio project.

To make updating this place simpler for all involved, I'm going to almost completely ignore the events that have happened to me since my last post; I think that'll make things easier to follow in the future. And since I'm the only active (? can blogging be a passive action?) reader here, I have a controlling vote.


That out of the way: I've just returned from an awesome ski trip in Colorado; I'll fill in details on my skiing page. Oh, and I found that article about the French (it really has been too long) burning several hundred cars on the average Saturday, but it's gone now.

So, an idea- I post in the future audibly- I have a Griffin iTalk now, and after forgetting it for an hour, realized it has some impressive abilities. Look for audio files as posts in the future, as soon as I figure out how to do that on Blogger. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Actually, anyone else even reading this would be appreciated (I'm starting the bidding for shoutouts at 'proof of visitation.' Pretty cheap, if you ask me. Email me a screenshot or something).

What if Jedi played darts? I can see Anakin stepping up and writing his name, cursive, underlined, pretty, and then Yoda levitating them into 180s and such, Windu throwing the board at the darts, etc. And then Anakin being pissed that the others used the Force. I have this image of hime being slighted for being good at everything and thus not relying on 'the Jedi way' for guidance. I'm reasonably certain that that view and the Lucasarts copyrighted story differs, but I still think he could be a less-flat character.
Someone said somewhere that Star Wars was supposed to be "escapism for eight year olds..." oops.


In the hope that I won't write too much (and so I can get back to French homework) I'll stop writing now.
I think that my hiatus has changed the tone of this blog. It has gone from...well, that doesn't really matter. I'm going to try to make this place more of a forum for (mine, at the very least) discussion and insight (like the French riot discussion, kind of) rather than another person's piece of the Internet pie which they squander on childish proof of 'proven-by-existance' drivel...
I'm rambling again. So much for cutting off and stopping. I'll come back when I have something to say.
