BLOG DAMMIT!

Thank you, David. Why am I not blogging? At the moment I find myself without a lot to say, actually.

*Politics: I'm sort of at the point where my outrage has passed the limits of perception and all I'm getting is distortion. The capacity of the GOP for criminal, incompetent or criminally incompetent behavior is limitless and, perversely, not worth discussing anymore. It's like the weather.

*The weather is very nice.

*This was a dull year in the theatre and, consequently, a dull Tonys. I was mildly surprised by a couple of the wins, but the only thing that actually elicited a vehement reaction from me was that they actually could not find the time to show the In Memoriam reel onscreen, instead just flashing it in the background as someone spoke. That was pathetic and insulting to the people it purported to honor.

*Veronica Mars is gone. It's a shame it never got higher ratings, but Rob Thomas really got caught with his pants down in the second season--squeezing an equally compelling mystery out of the same core cast proved impossible. Luckily those last few episodes were very good, kind of a sad denouement without a major mystery component.

*With my finances taken care of, for the most part (debt consolidation is a very, very good thing), I ordered a new iMac. I expect a major iMac update before it has had time to gather one single mote of dust, but it's needed nonetheless. The old one is doing some very scary things and I think it's time to let it become la madre's very first Mac.

*Speaking of Macs, how sexy is Leopard? The nerds were disappointed that today's WWDC keynote was short on major hardware announcements, but a new Finder is huge. The keynote didn't even hit on my personal favorite new feature, the addition of Boolean logic to Spotlight. My pornographic Smart Folders will finally be able to tell the difference between Corbin Fisher's Josh and Joshua.

*Not putting a whole heck of a lot of effort into becoming unsingle lately. This is probably a good idea--while I would like to have someone's emotional support and presence in the bedroom, I'm not terribly good at the whole relationship thing. Still, I will probably prefer to be coupled in twenty years or so, and it would be to my advantage to get something off the ground while I'm at this stage in my life so I don't turn into That Guy.

*My job has been a delight lately--I'm seldom happy with my own performance, but getting promoted got me to realize that the issue lies less with my performance than with my standards. Since then I've started thinking "wow, I'm kind of good at this." There have also been interesting developments which I should probably keep to my own damn self for now.

Can't think of anything else. My brain is going at quarter-speed these days; don't expect prolific posting.
