I've been neglecting my web-presence lately. I'm not particularly busy; I just like to step away from the Internets and their constant crush of information every so often.

Here's a superficial glaze of the cool & exciting things that happened in the past couple months, while I've been largely off-line: Took the Amtrak to Portland, met & sang with Cascadian radicals, experienced (most of) a Climbing PoeTree performance in Seattle, failed to resist The Thriller at the B'ham Halloween flashmob block party, helped elect the first black president of the USA, caught a reading by Rolf Potts at Village Books (Friday), dressed up as Dr. Science for the Pickford sci-fi matinee (Them!) (yesterday!), and licked an ice-planet at Ariel's scifitastical dance party (last night!).

I've also been on a '90s nostalgia kick lately, watching DS9, playing old Super NES games, and dusting-off hipster flicks like Tank Girl and Six-String Samurai via Netflix.

Over the next week I'm going to rework my homepage a little. #1, I'm going to start posting all my blog entries here on LJ instead and then post the links into the current blog-box on BeyondMetamora. Not sure why I didn't think of that sooner. #2, I'm going to make a super-basic audio section, because GoDaddy's giving me gobs of bandwidth each month that I'm barely using, and now that I subscribe to Rhapsody it becomes trivially easy to rip a few mp3s and share them out from my webspace. #3 I'm going to make a couple tweaks to the internal whatsits of the site that are probably only interesting to me.

Lastly, I'm thinking of changing the flavor quote on the front page ("we are the same people / only farther from home") to something fresh. Ideas?
