The bulk of web design has left me far behind. My own designs had adhered to one simple principle: keep it simple and clean. It would seem, however, through modern advances in taste, that it has become possible to have sites that are not only in keeping with my personal vision but also sassy. I'm going to have to get back up to speed here. Things might be a little funky over the next few days. Bear with me.

Apathy...

I used to have interests. I remember that much quite clearly. Now it seems that my attention-span is so short that the things that spark my interest have little hope of making a lasting impression. What happened? Where, along the way, did I lose interest? I'm not certain. I do know, however, that I am tired of it.

This is a hard thing for me to talk about because I can't find a useful angle from which to probe it.

Anyway. You didn't come here to listen to me whine about my problems. God knows you've all been more than indulgent already. Thanks for putting up with me.

Things have been quiet on the home front lately... as they usually are. I mean, come on... I live in a house with two other guys that spend just as much time living in computer-generated alternate realities as I do. Not exactly a hoppin scene, dig? Tonight, however, we're getting out. We're going to see Lord of the Rings. I'm VERY excited about this film. It could be so unbelievably kickass or it could be an utter failure. If nothing else it always makes me happy when someone has the cojones to spend megabucks on something that clearly has little mainstream appeal.

Talk about taking a risk. Go to any game or comic book shop or sci-fi con and ask around. The fervor for Tolkien may even eclipse that which surrounds Star Anything. Besides, Tolkien was a linguist with a prose style like an apostle. It must have taken an unbelievable amount of red ink to carve a script out of that nebulous ramble.

We shall see.

Ok. Give me something to get interested in. What sort of things are grabbing you these days. Tell me all of it... now... tell me... yes!
