My bad

With all the procrastination that I did, I let a very important date pass by. Two Thursday's ago, 1/23, was the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of my blog. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Blog, Happy Birthday to you!

So much has changed in me since this blog started all those months ago. Times have changed. It's easy to focus on the recent things, but let's get to the large picture. What has happened in the last year, as told by my blog:

(in no particular order)

1) JOSSOLALIA - Brian and I started Jossolalia, a blog devoted to the genius that is Joss Whedon,
1a) Joss gave us a great new show, Firefly which was subsequently cancelled following it's poor treatment by FOX
2) UNOBTAINABLE ENTERPRISE - During the span of this blog, I informed of the purchase of a 33" clone of the shooting model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the original Star Trek. It came with lights and sound. Having waited many moths for it, I finally received it, only to have to return it due to damage. Unobtainium has subsequently refurbished it's manufacturing line, expects a prototype in March-ish, but can not guarantee shipping by August
3) NEW COMPUTER - I finally went all out and bought a new computer. After posting the stats on my blog, I got more hits from people looking for the speakers that I got (Altec Lansing ADA745 Surround Sound Speakers w/ Subwoofer), than any other single keyword. For those interested, they're great. I highly recommend them.
4) THE SHUTTLE DISASTER - I've expounded enough on it lately. Suffice to say, I'm pissed.
5) EX-GIRLFRIEND STUFF - Now she's into berating me for not going to visit her. I may one day have to drop her like a sack of potatoes. I just wish I had had the money back guarantee (I loaned her $500.)
6) ENGAGED FRIENDS - Two pairs of friends of mine are now engaged. I am so happy for them. I just never realized how old I am.
7) O' BROTHER - My brother has (semi) recently both gotten his license and got accepted to Penn State (his number 2 school, and my old Alma Mater.) Did I mention that I never realized how old I am?
8) STILL SINGLE - What did you expect, really? After all my rants regarding my lack of ability in relationships, did we really think I would be in one, one year later? Come on!! Besides, I like Star Trek, Comic Books, I still like toys and I still live with my parents. Dating material, I ain't.
9) NO ESCAPE FOR FARSCAPE - Probably one of the best Sci-Fi shows on television, Farscape was nonetheless cancelled by the Sci-Fi Channel. What does it mean when good Sci-Fi can't survive on a channel which only shows Sci-Fi?
10) COMICS REVOLUTION - Spider-Man hit it big in theaters. Hulk, Daredevil and X-Men 2 all slated for this year. Spider-Man 2 in the works. Smallville hitting home runs on TV. Now, if only Birds of Prey had been faster to hit their stride. (See earlier rants re: Birds of Prey.)

Well, that's all I can really think of for now. Should probably get going now. Start getting stuff done for the next year........EXCELSIOR!!!!
