It’s been an interesting year for me, the fall particularly so. As I look to the end of the week (and the end of the year), things changed in a number of ways. In fact, I’ve not posted to this weblog in over a month intentionally. I couldn’t trust what I might write once my fingers got going on the keys.

At any rate, I guess what I’m saying is that you’ll see more postings from me now, but I’m not sure what form they’ll take. Not to sound trite, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the past few years trying to be the best this or that at work, and fulfilling various roles elsewhere (including how I write this blog). That’s become a wearying dead end, especially at work. I was always very worried about boundaries, and edges, and how things looked, how people would react, you know the drill. I think now I’ll just be the best me I can, and if things don’t fit for me, maybe it’s the situation that I need to change instead of form-fitting myself into every niche in my life. If I’m not making sense, don’t worry. Things will become clearer gradually.

After all, 2006 is a brand new year for all of us.

And Happy Chanukah. I hope you have a stress-free and cheerful season. Or regardless, that the new year brings you new paths and quests to follow.

After all, things are happening–Aslan is on the move.

😉

digg.com seems to think so. I’m not much into games, but it held my attention for at least, um, 22 seconds.

Oh, the game is here.

Yep, they’re remaking The Prisoner.

I’m just shaking my head over it. First, how can they do that? The original was unique. Secondly, why? What can they possibly add to the concept?

I’m not expecting great, or even passable, things from this remake. It may not really matter in the end, though. Six of one, y’know…

The Steadman band has broken with its label(s), and they’ve released their entire catalogue online at their website for free download. The TWIT podcast last week said that Paul McCartney praised the band pretty highly, but hey–you can freely download every song and decide for yourself.

The list is here.

I’ve read, um, twelve of them. I’ve never completely read 1984, never read Cryptonomicon, am sorely lacking on Philip K. Dick (although I have the feeling that they’re all similar), missed Pratchett, and have never heard of numbers 14, 19, and 20.

Huh. I would have thought that I was more of a geek than that, but it makes sense–I’m more Golden and Silver Age Scifi.

Just a short weekend jaunt of twelve hundred miles or so. See you next week.

Hey, it gives my builder time to dynamite blast the rock on my land where the septic system is to be dug.

And you don’t want to mess with a septic system for Dave….

No lie–I got my membership application catalog in the mail today.

Not that I wouldn’t be proud to be black, but I’m Italian. And Dutch. Pale, pasty white all over, that’s me.

However, it’s in a case on my belt. At several times in last few months I have leaned on it and called the first person in my phone list unknowingly.

So, my cousin Jeannine several hundred miles away has gotten several silent phone calls, one at 11:27 at night.

I’ve now added a new contact in my phone address book at the beginning of its list, namely me. Hopefully I’ll only crank call myself by accident in the future.

But which is which?

I guess it depends on how you look at it (literally).

Cool. And a bit freaky.
