State of delay

Hi.

I've been really busy lately, which explains why the blog hasn't been updated.

The big news is yesterday I had a phone interview with Nintendo that went really well. So well, in fact, that the big N wants me in for a real interview today. Plus I have to fill out an application and take some kind of editing test. Fun. I'm not keen on those things, but I suppose I have to take them if they want me to be a copy editor. Wacky, huh?

I've also gone into silent running because of a) "The Civil War" on PBS and b) I've been second-guessing myself on what I should put here. I know...it's my blog, my rules. Yet, I would write a draft of something and then seriously reconsider. I wrote something about Al Gore's recent speech, and then I wrote about the Xbox/Rare makeover of Joanna Dark. Neither are truly insightful or great pieces of literature, I thought, so I shelved them.

Maybe it has to do with Ol' Bob's acid-penned Blog Rules (see the previous posting), but I can't seem to find anything vibrant to write about. Plus, the whole Civil War thing has been eating into my time. You know how it is...what's a Blog compared to Sherman's March to the Sea?

Anyway, I have the face-to-face interview today. I have to find a decent interview outfit and do all my super secret squirrel planning at my current job so I can leave early, change and get to Nintendo while making sure no one at my work knows what I'm up to.

So, that's where it sits. I should just stop thinking so much and return to posting whatever I want. I do think I need to be exposed to more things in life, besides Bush, Iraq and the left-leaning sniper-commentary found in the message boards at Salon.com. Maybe I'd write about more interesting things and, besides, I've written everything I can about Iraq and Bush and
politics. It's time to move on.
