Holy hell, Batman.
Jan. 31st, 2010 01:52 amI could say I've been busy, which is true. But the real deal is that 2009 was very hard to write about at it was happening.
The bad stuff was like a marathon session of pink-belly; a never-ending series of slaps to the solar plexus. The good stuff consisted of the mundane miracle of domesticity, which is only interesting if you have the time to distill it into good writing. There was no small measure of comfort and joy, but when you're grasping at it like a flotation-device seat cushion after a crash landing, the charm of rough upholstery and nacho farts is lost on the objective reader.
Nobody wants that.
So I think I'll simply pick up where I left off, because I miss the casual contemplation and charming conversation that regular posting offers. And while I never insinuated that I was sane, the lifestyle is on more of an even keel than it has been for a long damn while.
Which makes it sound like I was hospitalized or something, but it was more like doing a masters thesis in mid-life administrivia with a special research focus in financial meltdown.
As an exercise in picking this journal back up in media res, I will simply close by saying that I'm up way the hell past my bedtime, and I have a question: was there a mass exodus to Dreamwidth while I was away? Or is there cross-posting synergy?
