I know, I know, I've been neglectful. I have no valid excuse for my conspicuous(?) absence from the Xangosphere these last couple of weeks. All I can offer by way of explanation is that I just haven't felt motivated to assemble my random thoughtbubbles into coherent communiques, of late. Every blogger goes through such waxings and wanings, so I don't expect much in the way of judgement for this alone. What may be received with less tolerance (or possibly just apathy) by you staunch remaining hadcore Xanganites is the revelation that circumstances have conspired to leave the future of this blog highly in doubt, pending a move to a brand new domain name.

"CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CONSPIRED"? WHEREFORE THE CORPORATESQUE PASSIVE DOUBLESPEAK, DOUCHEBAG? FEELING OVERWHELMED BY THE SHEER VOLUME OF READERSHIP LATELY HAHA? OR IS SOMEONE HOLDING A GUN TO UR HEAD FORCING U TO BELIEVE THAT UR POINTLESS PURPLE PROSE INTERSPERSED WITH OCCASIONAL HASTILY PHOTOSHOPPED FARCE NEEDS A FANCY NEW HOME? PARDON ME GUY, I GOTTA GO SEE WHETHER ITS POSSIBLE TO GIGGLE HYSTERICALLY WHILST SIMULTANEOUSLY RETCHING IN DISGUSTAPPOINTMENT. OH AND BTW GUY, TOO MUCH VITRIOLIC ALTER-EGO SELF-EFFACEMENT REEKS OF A DESPERATE PLEA FOR VALIDATION. JUST A THOUGHT. KLOVEZBYEBYEZ0RZX0X0
RANDO-*ahem*-Random Critical Guy, all hail his triumphant 11th-hour return*, raises a valid question. No, I haven't taken on any delusions of grandeur for this meaningless little blog. I'm saving that for the germ of an idea for a novel or novels that's lately been firing around the ol' synapses. What has happened, is that I've received the generous early Christmas gift of a domain name (and accompanying hosting) from some closefriends, who apparently hold higher aspirations for me in this regard than I myself did. We'll see how the new site pans out; I'm tentatively planning on making the move official for the New Year (arbitrary, but might as well).
*Wow, One-year-ago-Me reads pathetic to Now-Me.
In the meantime, enjoy some more trademark random shit:
Powers of Ten This 1977 short film was referenced as a primary source of inspiration by one of the co-creators of Google Earth (another co-creator cited Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash).
