Once again I’ve fallen into a bit of a torpor. My attention to the vast world of the Internets has dimmed. Every few days I start up NewsFire only to be overwhelmed by the sheer mass of new posts I’ve ignored. Typically I just mark all of them as read and close it again. I just can’t bring myself to be interested lately.
I’m going to give it another go, and try first to start with this little blog of mine. While I’d never expect to have something to post every day, I’d really hate to abandon it.
So, catch up time: Since last we spoke I did manage to secure employment. It’s a second shift position — less than ideal, but better than nothing. I start in a little over a week. I’ve gone and completed my physical evaluation, gotten another vaccination, and picked up an ID badge. I’m hoping a job brings some kind of sense of purpose.
I haven’t let the past few weeks go completely to waste. I have a few new projects to post as soon as I’ve mounted and photographed them. One of these is a particularly impressive bit of cross stitchery that has been about a year in the making (more on this later).
Most of my time, however, has been spent on Dragon Quest VIII and Super Mario Galaxy. The former I picked up some time last year without devoting much time and the latter was a Christmas gift. Both are excellent.
It hasn’t been all video games and cross stitch. My other, other out-of-work obsession has been vegan cupcakes. Here’s my latest, and prettiest batch: Chocolate Mint Cupcakes:
