I had some lofty goals for this year, but then stupid reality came in and ruined it all.
First was a redesign and some major changes to the way this site and my other ones operated. Actually that part I’m almost done with, but it’s taking longer than I had planned for some of the reasons I’ll go in to below. But as soon as it’s finished, I’m hoping to have some new stuff up and running with things that are actually interesting to read and participate in.
Second was to go through my game backlog and actually write more about the games. I have a couple of things half-written and one almost done, but during the month of January work really started eating up more of my time, and after spending the day typing things into the screen for work, typing things into the screen for blogs was not appealing. That all changed a week or so ago when my company shut its doors and laid most of us off. Suddenyl I have all this free time, right? Hm, actually no because job-hunting in this market is about as easy as performing brain surgery with Playskool Doctor Kit tools.
That and I had to give back my laptop, so my favorite writing pasttime of sitting on the couch typing up entries and such is gone for now.
The third thing was another project I had high hopes for that I just haven’t been able to get the time to work on. It involved a number of different things, including the old comic contest entries. I’m giving up on that for now, and I’m just going to post them somewhere for archiving.
There is a fourth point, but that one’s staying a secret for now, until I know where it actually stands. Like the Fifth Cylon, I’m really hoping this one turns out to be something great.
