Since a couple of people have asked, to wit:
"WHERE ARE YOU???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"
(The Mighty Wayne)
and
"What, hath the (Ferg)-o-blog gone tits up.? Nay! Pray say not thus! (by the way, how long does it take you to produce a blog entry?) Hope your day was wonderful."
(JSam)
The short answer is that Real LifeTM, as it so often does, has been interfering with my Fantasy and Intarweb life, which sucks because I much prefer my Fantasy and Intarweb life. Take work, for example. We're currently shorthanded and will be for some time since the Powers That Be (your Gummint) refuse to acknowledge that one either matches the workload to the available staff or increases staff to match the workload. In practical terms this translates into lots of involuntary overtime and ol' G. W. coming home so tired and worn-out and brain-dead that all he wants to do is watch NCIS (love that Abby!*) and House (love a good curmudgeon!) reruns until it's time for bed. Unfortunately, he also has to do other things, normal things, like, I dunno, feed the cat, brush the cat, find the missing cat toys, scoop the kitty litter box, shop for groceries, gas up the car, cook dinner, wash clothes, wash dishes, take out the trash, take the occasional bath, shave the whiskers from off my thorny hide...**
Okay, so there's a bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder involved as well; I'm drag-assing all over the place. This, too, shall pass, but not unlike a kidney stone.
Take-home message: like death, taxes, and Herpes, I'm still here!
* Last night while watching Abby go through her paces I text-messaged a bunch of people with "Why are there no half-naked Goth girls running wild in my apartment?"
Big Gay Cliff: "'Cause I don't have naked skater boys in mine. Next silly question...?"
And then this exchange with Sarah:
Sarah: i dunno. you should ask Jeffie.
G.W.: Why Jeffie?
Sarah: cuz she's the closest thing to a goth girl i know
G.W.: There's Cara. You think we could get the two of them to do a lesbian porno together? The overhead would be low and we'd make a fortune!
Sarah: Jeffy'd do it for the attention. Cara'd do it for a couple of jelly packets and a cup of mayo. This sounds like a plan!
G.W.: Throw in a couple of cans of cake frosting, one for Cara to eat and one for them to smear all over themselves, and we'd be the Kings of Internet Porn!
** That's a really obscure Jimmie Rodgers song reference:
My husband was a logger
There's none like him today.
If you poured a little whiskey upon it
He would eat a bale of hay.
He never shaved the whiskers
From off his thorny hide.
He'd just drive them in with a hammer
And bite them off inside.

Heheh, I was thinking that maybe you OD'd on Halloween candy. :o)
Sorry about all the forced OT. If it's any consolation, the corporate world works like that too. Our lab lays-off (read: fires) people, accepts more work requests, and enforces manditory OT to pick up the slack. :-p
Yeah, it seems to be the nature of the beast these days--more work with fewer resources. I guess I need to win the lottery. Of course, in order to do that I guess I need to play the lottery.
For me the candy OD occurs after Halloween when all the sucrose-saturated goodies go on sale for 75% off!
Mmmmm...discount candy (gargling noise).
If there is ONLY ONE REASON I should get a cell phone it is simply so you can start texting me. I'd even try and learn to text back.
Wayne, that's reason enough to get a cell phone--I give great text!
