Yay! We have snow in Minnesota! It only took us until February!
Yes, I am one of those people. I love the snow, I like winter, I live in Minnesota by choice! Seriously, if I have to hear one more person bitch about the weather here, I’m gonna drive ’em to the state line myself. (Probably just the Wisconsin state line…it’s only about 20 miles away!) I may really have to apply myself this weekend and see if I can’t muster the motivation to go skiing…
Man, I am really getting burnt out. The whole 2 jobs thing is a real drag on one’s hobbies. I did however manage to borrow a copy of Amelie on DVD, so I hope to find time to watch that soon. I have been feeling a real deficiency in my “arty” movie watching of late. I am dying to see Adaptation, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Matrix: Revolutions, Brotherhood of the Wolf….
Yeah, I threw in the Matrix just to see if you were paying attention.

It has been said that when something really exciting is imminent, but it may be pushed back, it will be out (say it with me) Real Soon Now™. Well, I don’t know how completely that fits in our case, since, actually, there’s already a lot here! We have moved to our new cyber-home, iam.jackswastedlife.org.
I have been very pleased with our new hosting service, Insider Hosting, but they offer too many toys to play with! So, once everything is completely transferred, I will Really start playing. Be sure and check out the new batch of links on the right, and I’ll catch you on the flip side…(what does that even mean anyway?)

As you may know, I am something of a perfectionist. To be more precise, a perpetually failing perfectionist. i.e. My house is a mess, but my CDs & DVDs are all in alphabetical order on the shelf. If I can’t do something and have it all work out perfectly, I have trouble doing it at all.
So, as far as web design is concerned…I’m a real hands on, no fancy WYSIWYG editor, gimme Wordpad and I’m set kinda web designer. I actually enjoy this extended aggrevation…and I have been tinkering quite a bit here lately. Now, I think this is a good thing, but it has slowed down my intended update schedule. And, I don’t know how soon that will improve. I have a lot of things still kicking around inside my brain.
BTW, what do you think of my new layout? I’m not sure how plentiful the links are going to be (I suppose that would also depend on how often I update…) but I promise to keep you a’clickin’…..
I’ll bet there were much less publicized killings at some remote summer camp on Monday the 13th too…but, you know, same-old-same-old….
So! Notice anything different? Yes! I did get a hair cut! Does it look ok? I was a little concerned about the length…..
Part of me now wants to see if I can fill an entire entry without finishing a single thought….Oh, allright. Take off your shoes and set a spell. Just let it all sink in. This revamp has been in the works for like a week now! I’m working a contract for the city of Minneapolis as a HelpDesk Representative, and I just can’t tell you how much fun I’m having. Because if I did, I’d have to kill you. However, that is part of the reason this update has been taking me so long! I can’t load ANY software on my computer at work. So I can’t do any image editing….ARGH!
Well, that’s not important right now. Please note the links on the right hand side of the page. Not all of these will be here for each entry, and there are some you haven’t seen yet. Right now I filled up as much as I could. I would like to point out that the Literature link will have my own works in them. At least, that is the plan. I also hope to have some kind of picture to go with each entry. The inspiration for this addition to my ramblings is a.lifeuncommon.org. I intend to infuse things here with more of my artistic endaeavors, partly to keep myself active, and partly to justify making complete strangers listen to my incessant babbling.
