I have a Facebook page set up if anyone’s interested: https://www.facebook.com/afemalemarine It’s not my personal page, it’s one for the blog.

Hello to anyone who still has my feed in their feed reader despite the fact that I haven’t posted anything since October 13th. Sorry. I’m happy to report that I survived this semester with 19 college credits, two part-time jobs, and a new blogging gig, in addition to the two others that I’ve been neglecting. [...]

Sorry about the blog neglect. I moved, and my new house doesn’t have Internet yet so I only go online at school in between classes. On Sunday I will start posting again, provided that Comcast’s talented employees manage to set up my Internet as promised.

If I’m neglecting the blog it’s partly because I don’t have much to write about and partly because I’m working on a new design…and it’s taking FOREVER because I’m also switching to WordPress. It’s a pain in the behind to deal with PHP and WordPress’s template files in addition to the usual HTML and CSS. [...]
