FYI (and FMI)

About me: I have a desk job during the day, and write short stories on my laptop at night. I am, ergo, always a stone’s throw from the interwebs, and take most of my breaks there. Thus, during an average day, I can keep reasonably on top of my Google-reader blog page, and most of the Facebook action among my friends, too (Twitter continues to thwart me, but I do try on that front, too). Even if I’m not commenting, or clicking on every link/video/possibly non-work-friendly image, rest assured, I’m usually paying attention. But–not the past two weeks. Every now and then I get an internet minute, but I am mainly using those for my own selfish purposes (ie, blog posts, photo uploads).

So, blogland, I don’t know what’s going on with you! I am sure you’ve been just fine without me, but I would like to mention anyway: if you’ve announced anything life-altering in a public forum, something like marriage, moving to Nunavut, new book out, bbq explosion, or something so incredible I can’t even imagine it–I don’t know this. To prevent awkwardness at parties, you can always drop me a little note and tell me…or let it be a big crazy surprise when I discover you’ve burned off your eyebrows. Totally your call.
