....but I'm still burned out.
Ugh.
]]>So I've been a bit MIA lately. I have no excuses. Shame, shame.
Basically, most of my time online anymore is spent on my writing, and frankly, I haven't come across much in the news that's fired me up politically. I'll say this much, it is much easier to stay up to date on the news around the world when you have cable, which right now, I don't. (That's right - I'm going to miss the 24 finale tomorrow night. GRRR.) Yes, the internet is a far more exhaustive and helpful tool with regard to the news and politics than television, but it's not what I'm used to. I've missed all of the debates - I'm sorry, YouTube with its maddening skippage is painful, and I'd rather read blurbs than torture myself there - and I hardly feel as if I'm qualified to comment anymore unless it's some mildly abstract principled issue rather than a hot-button, up to the minute issue. It may also be that I'm mildly burned out.
But I'll be back in my groove soon enough. Frankly, I'd rather let this blog waste away for a little while than just answer Qotd's and bore everyone with inane details about my life (or the lack thereof).
One word on the 24 finale: if the spoilers I've read are true, oh my God, I am going to cry both tears of fangirl joy and tears of utter devastation for not being able to watch it myself. I mean, we are talking the greatest ending to a season ever. You may never hear from me on this blog ever again because I'll be too busy furiously writing my dream version of Day 7 to notice anything else happening in the world. It's that good.
See? This is why I should step away for awhile. I'm already boring everyone.
EDIT: I should also mention that I am absolutely keeping up with my neighborhood. I love each & every one of you and you all brighten my day. I'll probably end up leaving more comments than writing actual posts for a little while. But you all are awesome, and I shall keep up with you, burned out or not. :)
