Wesley Fenlon | Not with a bang but a whimper.

Yes, this blog has been neglected.  Yes, I have a good reason.  Yes, it’s teh schoolz.  Finals weren’t too bad this semester — on the scale from brutally straining to suicide-inducing, they were much closer to the former end of the scale.  In short, mad studying, sleep deprivation, and far, far too much writing about books and movies and folklore (eep!) kept me from laying hands on this blog for a good while.  And even before finals I was caught up in rather long essays and end of term projects.

But now that’s all done like Christmas turkey.  Or Christmas salmon, as i happened to experience this year.  Hrm.  But let’s backtrack a bit to the main point: the lack of updates, and how that dire and unfortunate situation will soon be remedied.  No sooner had I returned home from my last final than a friend showed up, ready to commence our delicately-planned and hotly-anticipated Christmas break gaming marathon.

Experiences with each entry in our marathon will be documented in turn, and those we didn’t get to shall, I suspect, be attacked shortly, as soon as designated family time comes to a close.  You can also look forward to a new music post highlighting a few albums of 2008 I felt were really exemplary.  It’s such a cliche it’s almost not even worth pointing out it’s a cliche, but I’ll refrain from making lots of best of lists and just say why a few albums are especially kickass.
