So Here I am in the Middle West
The Heartland Mother Fucker
Sippin whole milk mother fucker
So another month passed with no updates from me on Idoru. No real surprise at this point, hell its more of a surprise when there are updates then when there aren’t at this point I think. No big deal though. At one point I had a grand idea to redo this entire site but frankly that doesn’t seem that likely to happen at this point, mostly because Idoru has taken a huge back burner in my life over basically anything else.
However when I was setting forth some goals for myself (some of which will take a loooong time) one of the personal goals I set was to use Idoru for something, anything, more often. So I want to ask all two of you who ever read this (if its even that high anymore) what the hell I should do with Idoru. Should I stick with this blog format? Should I redesign it visually? Should I turn it into something else completely? What are you guys interested in seeing in this little corner of the internet?
Since that question is unanswered at this point, I figure I will write at least one more relatively consistent update. Recently I took a trip down to Florida for a Thursday through Monday night long weekend. Partially birthday present, partially just regular old vacation. Overall the vacation was absolutely fantastic, the lady friend and I spent pretty much the entire trip reading, swimming, sitting on the beach, sitting by the pool, etc. Hell, I even got a sunburn which is pretty damn rare, no question about that. Overall just an absolutely amazing time though and one that I hope to do again this year, even if its not down in Florida.
Speaking of trips, I will soon be heading out of town for… well not even a long weekend, just about 48 hours out of Minnesota, in a town that I haven’t been to since 2004. Should be a fun time but I am not really telling anybody that I will be out there because, frankly, its a short trip and its a trip for me. Regardless I think that it will be a fun, if short, trip.
While I was down in Florida trivia was asked using my questions. The highest score still had 9 wrong answers out of 25 so I can’t complain much about that. I am curious to see what sort of hate mail I get on Monday airmailed my direction (verbally of course) from the other trivia regulars. Also, interesting, it seems that my sister might be coming with to Trivia this week which will be interesting in its own way. Hell, normally I stay the fuck away from mixing family and friends, not because I dislike either group, but its just weird to see them all interact.
Work continues to be work. I am feeling a lot better about work and such after returning from vacation. Having not taken any real time off since October I didn’t realize just how terribly burned out I was until I wasn’t dealing with any of the stress of it. Which is odd, as its not really a terribly stressful job, but there are aspects of it that drive me absolutely insane. Still, its interesting to see more jobs being posted and I will admit to taking a few looks at whats out there. But then again, who wouldn’t?
Other then that, spring is definitely here in MN now. I managed to dust off the bike yesterday and get her back up and running before I went for a lovely 60 mile ride around the cities. Absolutely beautiful to be back out on her, even it was a bit chilly. OK, really fairly chilly. But I don’t know when I will have a chance to go out on her again which is somewhat depressing. Just busy busy times it seems.
So, that more or less catches people up on whats shaking these days with me for the most part. I was serious earlier when I said that I want input on what I should do with Idoru. Whether I actually follow your suggestions is a good question, but I am very curious. Other then that, enjoy the fuck outta spring kids.
