My new power adapter arrived from Apple for my powerbook, so it’s full steam ahead! w00t!!! Not only that, but some of my regular reads are starting to post again, and I’m discovering a few other new ones.

This weekend was good, I got to spend a lot of time with Caitie, she rocks my world! Got my usual saturday morning dose of Rocket Fuel, and have been not doing much else. Work is work. The power adapter shorted out on my powerbook and they haven’t sent me a new one yet (reported it wednesday, and they told me it would be here by Friday) so my powerbook is officially out of service until a new one turns up. Apple’s online handling of their repair cases sucks, btw. I am displeased with it. I really want to work on my new blog design but until I have a Mac.. *sigh*

My wife and daughter have been gone for 21 days, back east visiting family, and they arrive tonight. I can imagine, my wife will be at the end of her rope, my daughter will be whining and crying from all the travelling, and they will be the most beautiful sight I can possibly imagine. They’re delayed into Chicago-O’Hare (anyone surprised there?) so they’ll be an extra hour waiting.. Fun fun.. Or not.

I know I missed the cutoff for NaNoWriMo, but hey, who needs to be constrained. I’ve been sketching out an outline for a novel that I want to write, so maybe I’ll tackle it in the new year. The whole concept is inspired by a quote out of the Neil Gaiman book ‘Neverwhere’ – it’s something I’ve been stewing over in my mind, thinking and wondering about it, and I think I’ve almost got enough to start. I’m sure it won’t be the magnificent piece of work that Antwon put out this year, and it may even lack a goat character, but I’ve gotta start somewhere, right?

I read some blogs on a regular basis – by that I mean that part of my morning routine is that I go and see if there’s new stuff. and most of my regular reads are either sluggish as of late, or having technical difficulties. C’mon people, get on the ball.. your loyal readers are stagnating out here. Ealasaid, get your hosting people to get off their asses! Everyone else, spare some time. I’m bored. Really, really bored.
