So, I haven’t put up a significant post in a while, some would say ever, and I really haven’t posted any photos in a while.

I’m currently trudging through a pile of magazines that seems endless. Maybe I should seek help for my magazine addiction. I’m about two chapters into The Golden Compass, and I’m finding that I really like it, but then another magazine says, “No, read ME!”

Christmas was alright, and I slept through New Years. New Years has just never been that exciting to me. Dan and I each received a ten dollar gift card to Borders, which I used online to get Wordpress for Dummies and DragonArt. I am sorely unimpressed with DHL’s delivery service. I ordered both books separately (which is a whole ‘nother story), and the first book arrived about 10 days late, while the second book came two days before the first one was due to arrive. Why one book needed to go from Arizona to Ohio to Utah to Montana, while the other only went from Arizona to Montana, I’ll never know.

I had the distinct pleasure of restoring our computer to factory settings. The sfc /scannow command yielded a lovely corrupt file it couldn’t repair which was causing software to stop running. I tried every possible fix I could find online, which included a system restore to a point saved on December 29. That was a mistake which caused I-don’t-know-how-many registry errors. If I try to look on the bright side, it’s almost like getting a new computer all over again. Wait, there’s all that advertising to remove, Windows Vista security to turn off, patches to install, yada yada. There is no bright side. None at’all.

Ah well, it’s done now. And I always have cats to entertain me.

1. To not make any resolutions that I can’t keep.
2. …Hmmm.

Oh well, hope everyone has a great 2008!

Another year gone. Oh darn. Maintaining this blog was difficult at times. Partly due to no Internet for a while, and partly due to burnout. It’s gone from being primarily a photo blog, to more (don’t ask me what the ‘more’ is). I’ve come a out of my shell just enough to peek around. All in all, it wasn’t a horrible year. Not a great one, but not horrible.

2007 shows some promise. I’ve got my FAFSA application ready to submit, my application for FVCC ready and waiting for proof of an MMR (meaning I need to get the darn shot). All I need now is to decide what I want to be when I grow up!
