Note: This is a really old entry and I’m only posting it because I think for the sake of compleatness I should post it. Enjoy. We’ll catch up with ourselves as soon as we can. We hope. Anyway, read on.
While I try and keep a fairly independent spirit alive at TealArt, there’s a limited extent to which anyone can ignore the events of the world and the calendar. Though I must say this year, we did pretty good. We completely avoided all of the “the Holidays are Coming, Oh! No!” posts, and the “Well The Holidays are done with” posts, (and by that we clearly mean Christmas, and are just saying holidays because we desire to be PC even though I, being Jewish and all, did nothing special for December 25th), and the “Year in Review” posts and the “Resolutions” posts. Well almost. I’ll try and spare you the worst of it.
One really big reason that you haven’t gotten posts from me of late, and the reason it’ll several days after New Years that you’ll read this post, written in the late evening of January 1, 2004, several days after New Years, is that I’ve had a rather persistent computer problem. Indi and I think we have nailed this time (bad ram). When that’s done, I think you can expect more production out of me. Perhaps. Update: I think that maybe I’ve got it all nailed, or it at least seems to be kind of working. If it isn’t, and I’m not sure, I’m getting really sick of it.
As I write this, I’m realizing that TealArt has existed in this basic form for a year now. We’re several months into the third year of having the site, but it’s been consistent in this form for a year now. Pretty cool. My basic math skills tell me that we’ve posted *about* once every four days, which doesnÔøΩt seem right (which probably means that it isn’t), but given the spurty frequency of our posts, could very well be correct.
Besides the whole computer problems, my break has been pretty enjoyable. I have a lot of work to finish up over the next couple of days and I have some intense partying that I have to do too, but I got plans sketched out and I should be able to fit everything in. I’m (maybe) seeing an old friend (well I suppose that he isn’t really an “old” friend in a way that would make sense to anyone else, but that’s how I think of him), and going to an Anytown Homecoming and doing some other hanging out on Saturday that should be pretty cool. Maybe even inspiring for TealArt entries. It’s worth a shot.
