Aside from the fact that I so rarely post during the school year, I have been wondering lately why I don't throw some more stuff onto the blog more regularly. I guess part of it is that I don't feel that my life is that fascinating, and without the time and creative desire to put a more thoughtful blog together, I guess I've simply avoided it.
I haven't announced that Peter's last (we hope) surgery is coming on June 10. Nor have I announced that I have been given a work contract at Maeser, meaning I get to keep my job for another year.
Important announcements, yes. So why did I not put them up earlier? I couldn't say. I suppose part of it is simply knowing that the blog is more for me than for others. Or perhaps it's because I don't like being so public with my private life. On Facebook, I only post a status update every, oh, month or so. Maybe less. So it's just me being my typical, quiet self.
Well, whatever. I'm on to a new book (another announcement), and I hope to do a solid reread and rewrite of Words of the Silenced in the next month or so. With my video game essays percolating perpetually in my mind, perhaps I'll fire up the blog with updates again soon.
Oh, that reminds me of one other announcement: I'm moving all video game related stuff to a new blog. I feel like there are two extremely small audiences for what I have to write: One is interested in the sparse details of me and my living, and the other is interested in my analyses of interactive media. So I'm creating a schism.
The new blog is http://videogameessays.blogspot.com/ and it will contain all of the old essays from this blog. I'm not deleting the old posts and comments; however, if you'd like to say anything about the old stuff, please put it at the new blog.
Thanks to those few, those happy few, who read my blog.
