Well, I've tried to maintain 2 blogs (this one for writing, a livejournal account for more personal stuff). It's ended up that I put both personal and writing posts over at livejournal and thus have neglected this journal over the past couple of months.  So now I'm going to leave this one static for awhile, and put all my blogging/posting up at the link below. Please do stop by and say hello!:
