lazarus

My home internet access is back! I'm officially moved into my new home and after a series of the expected move-related snafus, I'm finally somewhat settled. I love my new apartment so much. If my camera hadn't crapped out on me, I would have pictures to share. I snapped a few on my camera phone so perhaps I'll mock-up a very lo-res triptych of sorts to illustrate my progress.

And now that I'm finally unpacked and organized, I have to do the packing thing all over again (on a much smaller scale, of course) for my excursion to San Francisco for the BlogHer Conference. Lest any of you attendees find yourself on the hunt for a Curly McDimple name tag, please note that I'll be attending as my in-real-life self because my job is paying my way and I have to, you know, act professional and network and shit.

Don't despair though. Here's a tip: If you see someone with a head of stylish (if I do say so myself) curls and a really Scottish/Irish-looking complexion, there's a good chance it's me.

See you in SF!

greetings from brooklyn heights

Sorry for the lack of posts. I made the big move this week so my computer was disconnected for several days. I plugged it in yesterday to discover that my Internet access has yet to be activated by Time Warner Cable. Bastards.

How am I writing this you ask? I'm doing a quick drive-by at work today to get caught up on emails, online banking and what not. I actually looked forward to coming into the office, if you can believe it.

Here's hoping I'm unpacked and fully wired within the next few days. If not, there WILL be hives.

More to come... sooner than later I hope!

san francisco, here i come

Attention citizens of San Francisco! Lock up your valuables and barricade your doors because I'm coming to town. Yup, I'll be attending this year's BlogHer Conference (July 18-20). Even better? My job is paying for it. Mmmm... room service.

Let me know if you'll be at the conference or in the vicinity and perhaps we can meet up and raise a wee bit o' hell.

weenie roast 2: electric boogaloo

Ready to roast some more weenies, yo? Yes, I will once again embark on assembling the queer blogging community together for some camaraderie, booze and charred meat/meat-free alternatives. This year, however, I will not be so foolish as to schedule the event in the middle of July on a metal rooftop deck. I'm thinking September might be ideal. Date/location and all other details still TK but if you have any ideas or want to help plan this year's event, please email me.

More to come!

i hear the secrets that you keep...

I've been known to talk in my sleep. For example, I once gave my friend very detailed instructions on performing a mail merge... and had absolutely no recollection of it the following day! Now that's talent.

On occasion, though, I will catch myself mid-babble and wake myself up. I really wish I could see the confused "Huh?!" look on my face as I process the chatter that has just startled me from my sleep. Like this morning, for example. Who needs an alarm clock when you can wake up to this pissy exclamation?

"I do TOO know who Rocky and Bullwinkle are!"

I would love to know what lurks in my subconscious to prompt such an impassioned, semi-conscious defense of my knowledge of a cartoon. Actually, no, no I would not.

I scare me.

technical difficulties

There have been sporadic outages on my site over the past month or two. I'm officially fed up with my web hosting company so I'm going to transfer my domain and hosting services to another more reliable company. The process may knock me offline for a few days so please stand by while all the kinks are worked out.

Thanks!
