Fall Off Horse, Get Back On Horse

It's funny what invisible lines can do to you.

My writing momentum was deep-sixed by that trip to the other side of the world, as I expected it to be. When I got back I was so disoriented that reestablishing routine was a struggle. Being an inveterate creature of habit, that meant I needed to go back to the start and rebuild my routine. It was no mean feat, since the back-to-back weeks away meant that Important Stuff, i.e. work and home, needed a lot of tending to before trifles like weblogs could be addressed.

Add in another week off of work to spend some quality time in the sun (and rain) and the onset of Busy Busy Busy here in the office and, well, I have a lot of excuses to make to myself over the silence.

So, I'm back. One can always rely on Major Events like two purportedly-blockbuster films to bring me back online to add my two cents to the world's currency regarding the Current Controversial Movie. Yes, my obligatory lines on the Ron Howard celluloid treatment of Mr. Daniel Brown's moneymaking tome will be on The Silver Screener shortly.

The other weblog will have the long-delayed retelling of the Jersey Game Session up soon. My fickle sometime-writer, ever-a-gamer alter ego decided that it didn't like the fragments of a session report I had previously saved on Blogger and deleted the mess. So I will do a rewrite based on badly-faded ten-week-old memories. Well, it won't be the first time.

It feels good to have the virtual pen back in hand.

Welcome back to the web :)

Where'd you find the lush new theme for EI? Definitely not bog-standard Blogger.
