Somebody I respect* recently said something complementary about me. Yeah, my first reaction was to splutter, too; it seemed as absurd as picking a thistle from a patch of weeds and saying, "that's a nice flower". Then I started thinking if might actually be true, which made my life seem an even bigger disaster. :( So I had a mope, and shed a tear or two, and listened to Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Twice. Then I put the whole episode in perspective. :lol: But one thing's clear. It's time I grew a little taller. I've loved this place to bits. But even at its height I knew I ought to get a more accessible blog where I could post BIG THOUGHTS(TM) and have the world ignore them. Fast forward several years and I'm still here when the community that made it so great has fled (with respect to those who are as tenacious as me). So I'm gonna push upwards. But this is not gonna be goodbye, I really will come back (*cough* *Auntie* *cough*) to post reviews, look at pictures of Laurie Grace, annoy TJ, etc... I can't even swear I won't post another blog here. But for the moment, my main posting will be on 1000kindsofrain.wordpress.com. No registration is required to pick holes in my surreal-mythopoetic-eccentric whines, so y'all're invited. :)

* Inasmuch as I respect anyone - ask me what I think of Einstein. :lol:
