Because You Demanded It!

Well, a couple of you anyway. :-)

So yes, like Jay-Z and the common cold, I'm back again (Shut up, Omar!) slipping in quietly, hopefully able to settle in comfortably before anybody notices.

What can I say? At one point after signing off here a couple of months ago, I decided I'd start using my LiveJournal account for the more personal kind of blog that I tend to despise, but there's something about LJ I've never liked and I only posted one thing of interest, along with a few dumb memes. LJ's great for commenting and the threaded discussions, but as an online "journal," I just don't like it. There's a cliquey, group-think feel about it, whereas Blogger seems a bit more individualistic.

Maybe I'm just resistant to change? Or, more likely, I just needed something else to do at work?

Whatever the reason, I'm back, reclaiming my original little piece of the Blogiverse and shifting gears a bit as the new title would imply: "guy stuff." From stories about the kids growing up, to our search for a house, to snarky comic book stuff that doesn't fit over at Comic Book Commentary, it'll be different from the less personal, highly political blog it used to be.

Or not. Who the hell knows?

Speaking of the kids, it's been five months since he first saw The Incredibles and Isaac still insists on being called "Dash." There's days where he won't answer to "Isaac" at all, insisting that his name is "Dash" and that we call him that. Last week, he also decided to switch from "Mommy" and "Daddy" to "Mom" and "Dad" to better sync up with his animated alter ego. No movie's had this lasting an effect on him, and now that we have the DVD - amazing, BTW - I have a feeling he'll be starting school in the Fall insisting his teacher calls him "Dash."

Good stuff.

More to come.
