You know, I was thinking about how having a blog is kind of like having a pet, in that you have to be responsible or it will get neglected. But then I realized, having a blog is nothing like a pet. You can’t ignore a pet, it will bug the shit out of you until it gets what it wants. Having a blog is like having a plant. If you’re at all like me, you’ll eventually forget to water it, until it dies a slow and agonizing death.

So here’s the deal. For a bit I was trying to post once a day. And that worked well, until I got lazy, and decided it really didn’t matter if I missed one day, then another, and so on until I next thing you know it’s weeks later and no updates.

I’ve had good excuses. I was working on some more videos, I’m messing with a lot of complex animation with Blender at the moment, but really I’m focusing on finding a new job. Finding a new job takes most of my time. About 1% searching and 99% worrying.

The time not spent on videos, animation or job-hunting is spent drooling over the Asus EEE, even moreso now that I’ve heard it can run Max Payne 2 (on WinXP) practically out of the box. I love Max Payne 2. It’s the game I pull out every few months and play start to finish, sometimes one sitting. Not to mention the potential with emulators and ROMs.

I’m going to try to blog more. I really am. I have dozens of things to write, I just need to devote the time. I’ll be visiting my parents for a week or so starting this weekend, that usually means lots of spare time, so expect a lot more blogging then. (especially blogging about the Asus EEE)

ta ta for now,
