I need a new background image. I’m still using the default for this template, and that’s just not the way the hip kids do things. If I want to masquerade as one of them and walk among them unnoticed, I must emulate their ways. And also wear their skin as a suit. A flesh suit.

I suppose if Brian is going to link to me, I ought to start doing something with this ol’ weblog thing.

Only thing is, I’m so tired from all the baby rearin’ that I don’t have the brainjuice to figure out exactly what.

I know you’ve been clamoring for cat news, especially after that horrifying (and, admit it, titillating) post of just about a month ago. Short version: Cat’s fine. Bad bladder infection, possibly chronic, and it’s being treated now.

But what’s really at issue here? I haven’t written a damned thing on this site for over a month. I’ve been getting myself sorted out, finding a look I wanted to use, trying to figure out why I should even bother with the site, things like that — the big, meta questions, the ones for which I still don’t have answers. But with Reed’s help, I’ve found a good offline editor for posts, and I’ve figured out a little more about how to make this weblog thing work, so…maybe I’ll start using it properly this time. We’ll see. If I don’t post again for another month? Maybe I was wrong.

Now that it’s 2008, it seems like a fine time to start using this site we reserved oh so many months ago. I haven’t established any resolutions this year, but I have decided (based on Kelly Sue’s post), to put together an uberlist for this year, just so I can have some kind of tracker for what I want to do.

Thing one on the Things I Want to Do is to be more in control of my time. I spend too much of my idle time idling, and that’s not getting me anywhere.

So today serves as a starting point, a transition from one year’s way of thinking to the next. And now, as I’m adding to the uberlist, I’m trying to define what this year’s thinking is going to be.

Also, I need to learn more about this whole Wordpress thing. Gotta learn how to do neat Wordpress tricks.
