Poof

| | Comments (1)

this blog will soon go poof.

but not in a bad way.

bill is helping me set up movable type software so i can:
a) blog from work
b) support comments
c) uh. stuff. things! i dunno.

so soon this blog format will drift and there will be a new Movable Type page here like every other goddamn blog on the web, except it will continue to look like a page of mine or forget it. bill assures me we can keep this background .gif of a page out of my journal, written on palau perhentian kecil, malaysia on my birthday in 1999. coming on FIVE YEARS AGO.

we shall see. i started to try and install it myself, but it involves things like perl and brains. my brain is currently in australia, so no luck there.

i'm listening to coldplay now. i am unsure whether i'm embarrassed about that or not. i figured i'd share this fact and find out. wait. wait. no. not embarrassed.

i got the mp3s off katherin's iPod (yes. i am a pirate. arrrggghhh, matey. and i've got [*shhhh*] mix tapes under the bed, too!) and it's growing on me. melancholy pop. i like the sad songs.

oh, blarg (as sean would say). i'm kinda harrumphy tonight. i passed out into a hardcore nap post-work and am unsure if it's the rain and cold or madhavi-withdrawal. she's now in adelaide which means i won't hear from her until our sunday/her monday. that seems like a long time. until i recall i spent nine months without her. and i've got all these letters she left to tide me over.

over sushi tonight, lisa and i discuss how it was this time last year that everything went blooey. we both had our breakups. we decided to move in together. d was all laid up with a broken knee and we were emptying his piss jar for him. and i left amazonia and, wait! holy fuck! i've been blogging for almost a year? a year! wait. fuck! it's been more than a year!

where has it all gone? what was the year like? shouldn't i now commission dick clark to do a retrospective?

i'm not even sure i've been really me this year. i'm scared to go back and see who i've been. what i've said.

groan.

i feel pantsed.

two hours and seventeen minutes until i can open the letter that's labeled "Open this one on March 26"

the one today was worth waiting for. i think i'll read it again.

welcome to the wonderful world of moveable type! making all the modifications you want so that it looks just so can be addicting, i know from experience...yet another project to relax you.

your blog looks super and is easy to use...plus we can syndicate you now, yes? just watch your traffic stats go through the roof -- sooooo fun :)
