…she fainted!
The title and first line are from a phrase oft repeated during my formative years, spoken by my dad. I know he’s explained it’s origins to me at least a handful of times, but nevertheless said origin eludes me.
Anyway, 2010 is off and running. It’s running so fast, in fact, that it’s been well over a month since my last post, and I didn’t even notice!
Let me dig into the recesses of my mind and come up with some goings on since my last visit to the blog…
Ah yes! So I tried to get a paid writing position at WoW.com covering Enhancement/Resto shaman. In non-player terms think of a character that either whacks things up close and personal with the power of the elements, or one who heals. I didn’t get the job, and was a little bummed about that. I started to doubt my writing ability. I started wondering if all tiose years I spent writig papers in college were a waste.
The I realized I never really had any formal writing ability to speak of, and what college work I did complete was written in Java or HTML. So really, it doesn’t mean anything, and I can go my merry way without feeligs of inadequacy.
In other news, Quinlyn had an amazing progress report come in the mail from her school. I teared up a little reading it. School is a massive struggle for her the same way it was for me. Only two subjects showed less than desirable results.
Music and computers.
Let that sink in for a second, if you know anything about me.
Yeah.
My jaw dropped on those two. How the frack did that happen? Both of her parents have been musicians since we were her age, and daddy is a fracking computer geek. Something has gone horribly wrong here. Time to uncross some wires.
In other news, the new season of Burn Notice promises to keep us rivited in Thursday night mayhem, and the series premier and first episode of Caprica point to a series with the power to draw me away from the WoW. It also makes me want to order the blu-ray series compilation of Battlestar Galactica, though our lack of a blu-ray player and/or HDTV make that a pretty low priority.
Here’s hoping that 2010 keeps me chest deep in interesting content for the blog.
