Climbing out from under it

Saturday | January 8, 2005 | 2:45 pm  

I’m still trying to climb out from underneath:

  1. Hor­ri­ble flu — that had me out of work for a few days after I got back from a quick trip home.
  2. Tons o’ work — that piled up during the afore­men­tioned bout with family and flu.
  3. Pile o’ read­ing — I had sev­eral thou­sand unread blog entries in my aggre­ga­tor o’ choice. I’ll never get through them all, but I can die trying…
  4. Pile o’ enter­tain­ment — We got a Tivo for Christ­mas and I’m quickly feel­ing that “TV on my schedule” zen-​like feel­ing that all my Tivoed friends spoke about.

    Prior to owning one, I’d swear that Tivo was actu­ally a cult, the way folks would talk about its life-​changing aspects.

    The new addi­tion to our family also means having to learn to cope with yet another queue in my life. (E-mail x 2, Net­flix, Blog­lines, todos x 2 being the others.)

    On top of the Tivo, we also got Car­in­vale and Homi­cide on DVD, that’s a lot of TV to watch… and I must try not to let the dis­tinc­tion blur between the two and wonder whether Man­age­ment is reas­sign­ing Crosetti’s cases fairly. After all Ben, had a 100 per­cent clo­sure rate. Drats, I did again!

All of this is to say, I’m alive (barely after that flu), and I do intend to finish my blog­ging to-​do.

No, really, I promise. Look, I even have drafts a-going….
