Has it really been 6 months?
Wow. Two posts since the start of the year. I’m awesome at this blogging thing. I mean, just awesome. I should get some kind of award. I wonder if there’s a “You Forgot About Your Blog But You’re Still Awesome” award?
ok, so I didn’t actually forget about my blog. I moved to America. Yes, yes, I know they have the internet in America (well, most of it I think). I’ve just been kinda busy. And lazy. Mainly lazy.
Note to self: update the About section. You no longer live in London.
If you’re wondering “why the hell did he move to America?”, the short answer is “fortune and glory”. ok, that’s actually the Indiana Jones answer, but I’m running with it. In reality, it’s for boring reasons like work and cost of living and the phrase “why not?”. Also, I heard they were having a recession and I thought I’d get in on that. I mean, there’s now more dollars to the pound! Awesome! oh wait… that’s not a good thing is it? Bugger.
So what have I been doing with my lazy arse for the past 6 months apart from moving to the US? Not a lot actually (that’s why it’s called a “lazy” arse – it doesn’t do much – really it doesn’t). Obviously there’s been boring stuff like finding somewhere to live and buying a car and all that stuff, but on the whole it’s been a cavalcade of TV dinners and a day job. Oh, and “settling-in”. People have been asking me how I’m “settling-in” for the past 4 months. They’re beginning to stop now, perhaps because I’m seeming like less of a foreigner by the day (my consistent use of the word “awesome” no doubt to blame).
Anyway, I have made a decision that his blog will lie dejected no longer. I’m making a concerted effort to update it “regularly”. And no, I don’t consider bi-anually to be “regular”. I mean, I’m living in the sodding USA, there must be something I can bitch write about on here.
Fear not me beauty, it just be a blog post
Tis work to be done, so I be brief, but say this I will. As it be Talk Like A Pirate Day t’day, I’ll be postin’ all pirate like.
Them seadogs at 1&1 never found me buried treasure in that ol’ server o’ theirs, so now me ol’ blog posts have gone the way o’ Davy Jones. Tis a sad day, to be true.
Still, dwell not says I. It be foolish a pirate who look back but not f’ward. Onward and upward says I. More posts for ye to read, as I been slack till now. Many tall tales to tell ‘ave I, least not from me voyages to the New World, them Americas.
While I be talkin all piratey, I shud point ye to flickr. Them mateys ‘av gone an added a pirate translation for yer enjoyments. Just seek out the “Arrrr!” link at bottom o’ the page. As I be workin’ with translation ev’ry day, I be findin’ this pretty funny me harties. I fears if yours truly did as such for his workplace he’d be walkin’ the plank.
Where is everything?
You may have noticed (although probably not) that my site has been down for about a week. Thank you 1&1.
Apparently they moved my server or something, and now it’s borked. And this isn’t the only time I’ve experienced long outages from them either. So, I’m moving to a better, cheaper, more reliable host.
Anyway, what this means is that, until they bring my old server back online (and I can get access to all my old stuff), this site is going to be a little bare. Sorry about that.
