I haven't been posting much here because Becca's been up to visit and I've been sick. I woke up this morning feeling closer to death than I ever have before, partly due to this really bad cold and partly due to a Special Brew hangover. Since I knew I was going to be bedridden, I decided to set up a little Tumblr-based website to see if it would get some attention. Christ alive it did. In under two hours, I got 50 followers. I don't think the web form I mocked up is going to hold under the pressure if the site keeps getting bigger, so if anyone knows a simple way I can get a dependable web form, let me know.

"I think it takes a lot more effort to appreciate a landscape than a Brillo box."

You know that feeling you get when you wake up after a long night of partying? I don't specifically mean a hang-over, but that sore throat coupled with the distant taste of blood and the shakes. I always think it's kind of funny. It doesn't feel like a night out if I didn't have this physical manifestation of how much fun I had.

me: and if they're there i'll try to avoid

and then after like 10 mins, head off

10 mins, 4 beers, whichever comes first

I'm finished with my grant proposal. It's not going to be accepted, but at least my boss will be happy I tried. I'd be scared if it actually did get accepted, because then I'd have to write a much more comprehensive proposal including budgeting and stuff. Don't get me started on actually doing the project.

I just figured it's probably something to do with my domain host, whose website seems to be down, too, although some other domains I have with them still seem to work...

It seems the two websites that use my name (my tumblr and my about me) are both mysteriously showing no server. This is strange because one is hosted on tumblr, which is still working fine (except my site) and the other is hosting on nearlyfreespeech.net, which seems to be working fine (except for my site). It's actually pretty spooky, like maybe this was a concerted effort to shut down sites bearing my name.

It's been great. I'm not sure why. As said, I woke up at 6:30, but instead of trying to go back to bed, I got up and dressed.
