Idoru.us

I won’t say that I forget that idoru is here although I don’t ever make progress on turning it into a functional blog again. Its more that there is so much going on in my life that even if there were readers it would feel daunting to keep it updated despite having time. There is always time somewhere, it can just be difficult to locate. But without readers and with a relatively busy life it just hasn’t been a priority. What the priorities are? Sometimes hard to tell.

To that end I have been trying to keep a list of all the various projects that are floating out there in the ether, ranging from professional (Get my PMP?) to the personal (reorganize my kitchen) to actual work projects that I get paid to. Updating Idoru and my static personal/professional website are on the list but not high on there. Which, note, i should really go through and actually prioritize all of these projects but that’s a headache for a different day. Some of these projects are more time sensitive than others and some will definitely wait until the seasons change before I tackle them (rebuilding my commuter bike should probably happen in the winter for example).

But there are things I should get to sooner rather than later such as buying a new road bike, getting disciplined about exercise again, organizing my kitchen, putting in a closet system…. somewhere in there I will get to Idoru on a rainy day perhaps.

I guess I knew that when we get older we get busier but I never really thought it would happen to me in quite the way that it has. It almost feels like I should take a week off work and do a staycation to try and clean up some of this mess but I don’t think it would actually accomplish much all things considered. Its just a matter of setting priorities and then getting to them. Also I just realized how much I am beating a drum about priorities and projects and overwhelmed feeling about it all so that tells me that there is some definite subconscious stuff going on.

In other news though, it is bike season. I haven’t ridden *much* yet but that will change because is definitely a priority. Its funny to think that the motorcycle used to be that priority and now I would rather ride a regular old bicycle. as I often tell him, I am my father’s son. Although I have no desire to ride across the US. And will probably top out at a more reasonable number of bikes than what he currently owns even in his mid 70s. Which brings me back to that road bike I want to buy, a nice steel road bike a triple gears. It will end up costing more than I paid for a motorcycle but hey, lets blame inflation. Or the factthat the motorcycle I bought was in 2006 which is rather a while ago.

Anyway, not a ton new in life. Went to palm springs in january. Work is work. Stuff is busy.
