*Yawn*

*Stretch*

I must have dozed off there for a second.  What’d I miss?

An election?  Okay, sure.  Worldwide economic collapse?  I mean, that happens sometimes.  Tampa Bay won the pennant?  What the shit!?!?

Wait… I was out of commission for how long? Fucking six months??  Shit.  When you said the Devil Rays made the Fall Classic, I thought it had been the better part of a decade.

Apologies, dear readers (both of you) for the absence.  What started out as a minor over-reliance on The Internet is Your Playground and Lost in the Tubes became critical after a simultaneous work crunch for both Juice and me.  When laziness and inertia set in, there was really nothing doctors could do; Culturegeist was down.  Finally, a London-induced internet coma for myself and a bout with acute loneliness for Juice (Sorry, buddy!) just cemented the status quo sans blog.

Anyway, we’re going to be regaining our sea legs over the next little while – assuming we ever had them in the first place – and as Juice said, hopefully we’ll have some exciting new stuff in the pipe.  If nothing else, class doesn’t start till Monday, so I have a few days to reaquaint myself with finding the weird, wild stuff we all know and love.  And now I’m even assisted by The Magic that Is Google Reader and more blogs than I ever knew I could read.

Should be fun.  Again.


Don’t Call It a Comeback

5 January 2009

No, really, don’t call it a comeback.  Yet… but we’re working on it.

The AMT and I are storming back in the new year.  Culturegeist is storming back in the new year.  Just like Soul For Real.  Once again, we will freestyle when called upon.  We will trollop when called upon.  We will bring you the creamy goodness that you’ve come to expect from this high-quality internet publication.  (Note: Jokes about library head and complicated Lebowski references will still be included.  So no worries there.)

We have some plans for new features, and maybe even some additional contributors so we can keep a steady stream of quality content flowing through the tubes.

So check back soon.  There will be some new content soon and we should be all the way back within the next couple of weeks.

And, as always, comment!
