Moving…

Still playing with the layout and such, but I needed a web host for another project, so I’m making the jump.  You can now find me at:

 www.myallusion.com

Yeah, MyAllusion.  Singular.  I figure I might as well move now while I only have one reader.

 In other news…have you ever been talking to someone on the phone and you swear you can hear them taking a shit?  I’m having that experience Right.Now.  If you know who you are, I CAN HEAR YOU…STOP IT. 

Rude.

 

For Phil

Proof positive that I’m as dorky as you thought I was.

 

Uninspiring

I’m feeling particularly uninspired.  Not just to write, but in general.  This happens right about this time every year for some reason.  How could this be? I mean, there’s nothing about my life right now that sucks.  Well, maybe the lack of a boyfriend, but that could be argued either way.

If I take an inventory of all that I have, it’s staggering:

• Amazing family.  Check.
• Some of the funniest/best friends around.  Check.
• A very nice condo in one of the most beautiful cities I’ve been to.  Check.
• A great career that takes me all over the world and promises more to come.  Check.
• The ability to do, for the most part, whatever I want, whenever I want.  Check.

The list could go on, but usually when I get that far I start feeling very spoiled-rotten-only-child-like.  It’s as if I need to throw a pity party for absolutely no reason at all.  Maybe it’s that the Seattle grayness has gotten to me a little late in the game.  Maybe I just need to get the hell over it.  Yeah.  That usually works.

 

Finally

 I’ve lurked around blogs of some kind for quite a while now.  Several things have kept me from starting my own, mainly a fear of the unknown, and a stupid thought that there wouldn’t be a soul out there that could possibly want to listen to my random rants and musings.  I really didn’t figure out until recently that what I think of as just part of daily life is pretty out there for some people, and pretty entertaining for others.

I’ve always been a busy person.  In addition to a full time job as a Software Engineer, I’ve supplemented with things like volunteer firefighting, officiating boat races, and pit crewing for a drag race team.  The past two years, I’ve been on about 80% travel for work.  I’m sure you’ll hear all about it in the months to come.

So here goes.  Thanks to the encouragement of one of my best friends, I’ve been at this for less than 24 hours and I already think I’m addicted.  This is not a good sign.
