Between the daily emails from Go Daddy reminding me to renew my hosting and the acidic guilt that’s eating away at the bottom of my stomach, it was time to get back to posting. As someone who habitually reads blogs instead of dusting the apartment, driving for destinations unknown with the top down, or I don’t know, writing, I’ve read more than my fair share of “Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but my apartment was beset by locusts, brimstone, and a number of other plagues…”  So here goes:  Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I moved from Eastern Canada to Southern California, purchased my first car, wrote 50,000 words of a novel in a month, worked on two amazing issues of Sky Pirates of Neo Terra, finally beat Professor Layton and the Curious Village, flew to Florida to spend a nice long winter vacation with the family, parents, grandparents, school age siblings, and all, and read Under the Dome in less than a week.  And rid my apartment of all those pesky locusts.

I also caught up on many movies I missed last year, and because it had been so long, I got to watch them on Dad’s finicky Blu-Ray.  (Sony is kind of evil…)  Now that I’m living in Los Angeles for the indefinite future, where movie theaters abound, avocados are almost always in season, and there are more opinions about the style, shape, tone, and quality of entertainment than there are cars on the road, I’m sure I will have plenty to write about in 2010.  Hopefully, I haven’t lost all seventeen of you with my inconsiderate hiatus, but I will make it up to you in the twenty tweens!
