HOLIDAY TIMES
(Posted 2008-12-09 12:31:34 by ArchPaladin)

Before I get into actual content, it is interesting to see that that stuff
I wrote about in my last post appears to be close to accurate [

] [arstechnica.com], and that Obama is getting good reviews [

for it.  I will be watching all this unfold closely.

I have not been posting for a number of reasons.  There has been
Thanksgiving, and then work has picked up somewhat, and now my first
semester at NESA is drawing to a close.  After that will be Christmas.  Put
all of these things together, plus a general lack of weird stories that
I've found in the news, and there is not much to put down here.  I've
gotten away from the personal rants and other angsty stuff that fills blogs
of teenagers, but the flipside of that is that what content does get put
down for public consumption will be a little dissociated from my personal
life.  As much of what has gone on lately has been more personal and
family-based, I have a dearth of content.

I find this business around the holidays both good and bad.  I think the
increased stress is bad, but I like that I get to see family more, and that
there is a general sense of celebration going on, and that there is often a
lot to eat.  This is also a good time to try and dissociate from the
mundane work that happens throughout the year and evaluate personal
progress, to self-reflect and see what should be done next year.  I haven't
quite done this yet, but I have been generally pleased with how the year
has passed.
