I'm continually exasperated over this damn blog. It's obvious because I've been ignoring it for the last month after struggling for the past several months with the fucking comments system. I know they don't work but I don't know why and back in the day I could have figured it out. I've trolled through the movabletype forums without much success and so I'm left with that ultimate blog question, is it time to quit? Where I was meeting and linking to new people all the time, now I haven't done a damn thing and I feel like the whole point has sailed for me and I've been left behind. It's so frustrating.
But then I think I've been doing this for eight years, EIGHT YEARS! and I've grown the most wonderful friendships with people I guess I'd never have met otherwise. I wrote some things that I thought were witty and pretty good and then a lot of schlock and dregs of course. I just can't think of not doing and when I try to imagine, I know I'll be right back and then what was the point. So I'm just thinking. I have to divert myself from all my other time-wasters and focus on relearning the MT system to take advantage of the technology that is so different from when I first installed the system way back when.
So I'm just ranting, ranting, ranting. Feh.
I LOVE it. OK, I was really going to love it when I ordered four books off Amazon before the thing even showed up with the promise it would sync in the box and have them when I unwrapped it which DID NOT happen, but after I went driving in the snow and got cell reception, they popped up and BAM! There they were. Now if only Kindle's design team had called their friends over at the iPhone salon 'cause as a reviewer described it in GQ: "...it looks like my old Tandy computer from 1981". Cream of oyster soup color in an electronic gadget is like an avocado fridge in the 70's.
But I love it!
