I’ve been an ass at blogging of late. Meaning ’since I set up the new site,’ really. Apparently, I had more fun writing on an improvised news module than on this dedicated blog system? Oh, and I landed a steady, expenses-paying job that ate all my blog writing time.

Whichever way, it’s been uphill getting the site to work as I’d like, and to top it off, I just realised that it doesn’t perform well (or at all) on Internet Explorer. Ho-hum, more late night, off-duty labor for me. Fuck you very much, Redmond, VA.

But you know. apart from the fact that the sheepishness of accustomed Windoze users is standing between me and millions of users, I think I’m getting ahead of my game. Lately, I’ve set up a module to automate my sketchbook postings, and if things work out right, this blog will have a little sister within a month or so.

The Astoria project is outgrowing the boundaries of this site, and I wil announce the new place to go for Astoria Goodity shortly (upon verifying IE compatibility, of course :p Did I encourage the Virginia-based browser to sexually interface already?) In fact, I have been withholding new Astoria updates so the new site will explode onto your screen in a caleidoscope of kinetic refinery.

Did you like the sketchbook pages? Did you enjoy the Rabbit King short?
You. Are not. READY! For Astoria.
It is going to be a packed-to-the-brim, sweeter-than-pie, rockin’-yer-ass-off, hunka-hunka-burnin’-love!

That’s about enough hyperbole about one book for today, but suffice to say I am doing my darnedest to make this one a keeper, or at least a singular attempt at sequential narrative ( and I’m using the term in its loosest possible meaning).

More about that later!
