random babble…

Randomly (natch) The Guy asked me after dinner if he could do a regular segment here at Random Babble.  I am always looking for new good material and fun co-Babblers, and I think regular segments are a fun thing to have on blogs (b/c I have OCD and like things orderly).  It was so unsolicited and cool sounding, and right up my nerd alley that I couldn’t resist.  The Guy has achieved notoriety here, so I will let him introduce himself to you all as he sees fit.  You should see his first post tomorrow.  Perhaps I can persuade him to do other things occasionally and maybe we can provoke him into conversation sometime.

He is a master of all things gamer-dork related, and he has fully embraced his inner nerd.  I will state for the record, however, that he is SO not the DM of me!

So, w/o further ado…

Aside from getting married, there have been a lot of things going on in my world right now, and all of them are overwhelming me a little.  I have a few posts I have wanted to post, and I will get to them soon.

Right now I just have to keep breathing.

(apologies for the “fanvid”.  it’s really hard to find anything else some days.)

So I am distracting myself w/ things I find amusing.

posting has been a bit light lately. my VBFitU is visiting from Michigan, I got married this weekend (thank you for all the well wishing! you all know what a decision for us this was!) and now I am getting the Kid ready for her trip to her dad’s for the summer. I had some scheduled posts for the weekend, but I haven’t been around for comment mod.

So today I bring you some classic Monty Python, to let you know I have not forgotten you.

Thanks to all the awesome people I know in the ‘tubes!

out of spoons today.

so, since i will not be available to amuse you all, Readerland, please, visit my blogroll, hit up the archives, check the Thursday Blogwhore and hopefully i will be back in full swing tomorrow.

i missed a few posts this weekend.

i have a weird eye infection.  it’s not “pink eye” or anything contagious, nor is it related to my contacts (though i have stopped wearing them, one corneal ulcer is all it takes to scare you when it comes to eye thingies), but really they don’t know exactly what it is.  i am on the second antibiotic, w/ the first one only making the redness and swelling (of my IRIS…yuck!) worse.  i am under strict instructions to go directly to the emergency room if it worsens.

not.

fun.

it hurts.  and i can’t get my new glasses/contacts rx until it’s gone, since it is apparently changing the shape of my eye.

the good side?  OK well there really isn’t one, but hopefully it will clear up soon.  it doesn’t hurt so much anymore, but it still sucks.

i will try to be back on my game today and tomorrow.

i have been a little tired lately.  i have a lot of projects waiting to be finished, and about half the energy to complete them.

the ones that involve the Kid come first.  she and i have a project to finish up soon.

but then i have a few rants in line.

so, if i am light on blogging lately, that is why.  i am tired.

but don’t go away, readerland!

i will be up in full babble mode soon.

i have (a few days ago) hit 2,000 hits!

UPDATE:  i was apparently mistaken, and sitemeter isn’t keeping up, i think, b/c according to my stats, i have, in fact, achieved 4,000 hits. Read more »

UPDATE: i have managed to figure it out.  FTR, the info in the forums is not clear.  apparently i am going to spend my spare time learning html, which is one reason i no longer use the apple host.

however, at least the formatting of paragraphs seems to be fixed.

i am really really really pissed right now that i can’t run my blog the way i want.

thanks, WordPress.

i didn’t realize i had to have a degree in html to use this.  everyone told me it was so much easier to use.

a heads up would have been nice, along w/ the option to use the old version until you worked out the bugs.

gah!

*headdesk*

anyway, enjoy what was supposed to be the “new mascot edition” of random babble’s monday monty moment.
 

WordPress has decided that they needed to “upgrade” things.  the new format is proving tricky, and some of the buttons that i have just gotten used to have now disappeared.  if i am slow to publishing, that may be why.

i will do my best to keep up w/ things as usual around here.  hopefully the posting video thing we be fixed in time for Monday Monty.

i am still here!  wow!  i was sick!  i had the cold from hell that wouldn’t let go.  it was miserable, and so was i!  i had to reschedule an activity i am doing w/ the Kid’s class and a lunch w/ my aunt and uncle who live on the Windward side of the island.  needless to say i wasn’t doing any posting…

i also had to finish my “Yes Means Yes” submission, but i don’t feel as strongly about it as i would like.  my faithful “editor” told me it was “RAD”, which i loved, but i guess only time will tell.  i have an article i am going to sell in my head and partly on paper…but i didn’t do a lot online while i was “under the weather”…

but never fear, readerland!  i am here, and as i look at my draft queue i see some stuff i was working on, and may finish some of it.  i also have some blogwhoring bouncing around in my head that is itching to get out.

i see that it hasn’t slowed the readership here, so that makes me feel loved!

so stay tuned, readerland!
