Popping in to say hi

At Lumberjim's electronic cajoling, I thought I'd stop in and say Hi to all of my old friends here at the Cellar.

Hi!

I'm still spending all of my time trying to be a software contractor and a writer/editor at DamnInteresting.com. It leaves less time than I'd like for other pleasurable pursuits (reading, drawing, sleeping), but it's better than rotting in a carpeted cube. The perpetual state of not-enough-writers at D.I. keeps me writing furiously throughout many nights, and I have almost eliminated sleep from my schedule by remaining in a state of only 2/3 consciousness at all times. Speaking of which.... mmmmmmrmmhhhhmmmm.

So how is everyone? I hope you're all still healthy, wealthy, and extremely good-looking. I do miss our synapse-tickling conversations!

XOXOXO

Holy crap! You write for DI? I read that site religiously!

Damn cool, HP. Glad you're doing something worth doing. Thanks for dropping us a line.

Do you go by the handle "Floj" on DI, by chance? Call it a hunch....

Either way, thanks for reading (with extra corn)! Exclamation point!

I've missed you guys, too... you can't beat the Cellarites with a stick. Sniff.

Oops, that's never happened before, I swear...

Glad to see you popped in, don't be such a stranger! I must check out DI.com.

No, I don't have a login. I'm a freeloader.
Though now I'm going to create one... Hmmm... what name to pick?

Very weird.

Over in the John Titor thread, I mention that it's too bad that hot_pastrami don't come around here no more, and then I'm browsing through Boing-Boing, and what do I see? An article by him gets Boing-Boinged.
