Blogging Coma

Not too bad for writing, but my God, am I backlogged on my news and Blog reading.

While I as out of work, and even a bit while I was consulting, I turned into a news hungry, Blog reading junkie. I kept hitting the news sites and a long list of Blog sites, always looking for the most current updates. I think that’s why the 9/11 Commissions irked me so much: I kept reading about it over and over again. Almost to the point of sensory overload.

With the relocation and local get togethers – and PC-based Halo CTF matches – taking up the majority of my waking moments, I’ve recently discovered that I’ve lost touch with the news. I still hit the news page at Google once or twice a day, but I don’t seem to read anything on it. I’ve only hit the Blog sites a couple of times a week now, if that. Even the Yankees season has sorta blurred for me. I watched a complete game the other night for the first time since I was at the Stadium a couple of weeks ago; when I heard that Boston was 2.5 games out of first, it was then that I realized that we had entered June [the June-swoon of the Sox is more accurate than a day planner]

I’m still picking up a little bit of info via IM, if you can believe that – that’s been my only link to current events. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten most everything I’m connected to either cancelled, set to cancel next week, and/or forwarded to my new address in WA. Without the ‘net this would have been a very, very slow and painful process. As it is, my insurance company is the only stand-out service by making me wait until I have a physical address to give them and required a voice phone call. Everything else has been a piece of cake. For the most part. I mean cable is either current out of service for everyone or they opted to cancel me on June 4th, rather than June 8th – that’s no biggie, but it is curious just the same.

What’s worse, with regards to the Blogging Coma, is that I can’t even tell if I miss all the Blog reading. Some of it I do, but for entry I read there are another five repeats and five “why did I read that” entries… not a bad trade off, I suppose – I’ve just been too busy with other things to notice the missing news.

Of course, I can already guess that I’ll be right back in it once things settle down again. Just the nature of the beast.

  1. I’m dreading having to deal with Qwest to move my phone and DSL. Last time I had to do it they wanted to cancel the DSL and make me pay the startup charges all over again. On top of that I would lose my /24 block of addresses. So I found a local Qwest technician and paid him $100 on the side to do it for me. I was furious when I was speaking with a Qwest “Team Coach” and they were telling me they can’t move DSL.

  2. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it was a move across the hall into a better apartment. It was down one apartment and the other side of the hall, yet they told me it was impossible.

    If I was moving City/State I could understand…
