Yoo-hoo! Anyone out there? I won’t be surprised if there’s not a soul around, I’ve been gone so long. Not my fault this time. As some of my three readers might know, the site’s been down, and I’ve had not a smidge of recourse. But we’re back. Let’s move on. You’ll see that I’ve already posted a (late) one-month pic of Thalia, yay. (Cute, right? Gal likes her bath time.) I wanted to post-date that post, but couldn’t quickly figure out how.
Correction: I figured it out. Hah! And as for the off-center appearance of the pic, well, dealing with this kind of technical foul-up is the kind of thing I simply do NOT have time for these days. It’s Flickr and/or WordPress’s fault I guess, and if anyone wants to tell me how to correct it quick-fast-in-a-hurry, do tell. Otherwise, meh—and onward.
I have a new idea about how I’m going to use this completely shapeless (but not shiftless!) excuse for a blog. I think that, going forward, many posts will be quite brief and lacking in much ado: musings on the mundane (or not so mundane, if life presents the material) as they occur to me, without too much running off at the mouth. Sure, I’d love every post to be a crafted, well-developed mini-essay on whatever, but my hunch is that shooting for that means no posts at all. Anyway, I like to think that the brevity approach will, in addition to being feasible in this New Parenting Universe, be in the vein of Georges Perec, Sei Shonagon, and, to cite a much more contemporary chronicler of the everday, Amy Krouse Rosenthal. (I considered trying to do a series of A to Z posts, and decided that even that was too confining right now.) Of course, I’ll still do any shameless self-promotion that’s called for, and an occasional post may get rambly. Because that is how I all too often roll, right?
So. That’s the plan. That, and occasional baby pics. I don’t know why anyone should really care to read any of it, really, and probably a scant number of anyones will, but aw hell. More very soon. Cuz while my blogging hands have been tied, don’t think I haven’t had inspirations.
