Gee, three posts in. . . three months. Not too shabby, eh?

I’ve been telling myself on a daily basis to set aside some time and just post something on this stupid site, but I’ve still been having trouble finding a spare moment to write anything. Of course, it doesn’t help that for the past three months I’ve been sharing an internet connection (literally plugging & unplugging cables) with my parents, and they’re busy folks themselves. Nonetheless, today, in a desperate effort to keep this site from slipping into the deep oblivion of the interweb, please allow me to post yet another pointless self-centered update on the Entirely Uninteresting Life of Me.

To start, Judy came down here for a 10-day visit at the end of last month, as planned. I’ll spare whatever poor souls might actually be bored enough to be reading this and refrain from being all gushy about the details, but I will say that it was (obviously) great seeing her again after having spent three months apart. The time she was down here absolutely flew by, but we did manage to have a little fun, get some Christmas shopping one, celebrate Thanksgiving and my birthday (effectively killing two birds at once by baking a turkey-themed birthday cake!), and. . . we even found an apartment! It’s a nice little place in a convenient location, not too ridiculously expensive, and living there will make my commute to work a breeze! I actually already “moved in” this past weekend, although I use that term loosely, as the fact of the matter is that at this point in time, the only furniture in the place consists of:

• a kotatsu shipped from Japan
• a 13″ television I purchased in 1995
• a single floor lamp I purchased last week at Ikea (yes, I’m still a cheap bastard)
• an inflatable mattress on loan from my parents

And that’s it. So, as you can imagine, the place is a bit sparse at the moment. Hopefully, Judy will have her visa interview and be down here again soon enough, and together we can furnish it (since my doing so alone would surely violate some sort of husband/wife dynamic, not to mention give people yet another reason to question my masculinity).

So I guess that’s that. I’m hoping to get internet service set up at the new apartment early next month, and hopefully then I might even be able to return to — gasp! — regular blogging! Could such a thing ever happen??

Yeah, I kind of doubt it, too.
