OK, how about this?

Well, I may have figured out how to type with a cast on, but I certainly didn't learn how to type well or quickly. So, no, I didn't get back to blogging in October. Or November. Or December ...

But it's 2012 now, we are living in science fiction numbers. Death and rebirth and endings and beginnings and shit knows what else have transpired since last I typed upon this blog.

Well, if you've been reading this blog at all, you know, of course I can (and have been).

So, cheers, friends. Here's to a future so uncertain that it's beautiful. Read more...
