Daylight Savings Time broke my blog

Ok, maybe not. But losing an hour bugs me. And having it so early in the year still feels like a bad idea to me. I don’t like it. April and October, that’s how god intended it to work.

It was actually I who broke my blog. More specifically I broke my MovableType trying to upgrade it. So if you tried to leave a comment yesterday, and could not, I apologize. They should be working now. My web hosting service, Living Dot, fixed it for me.

Nonetheless, DST in early March is just wrong.

Hell, yeah I am…

Before the quiz silliness –

Thank all of you for your comments and emails. You have no idea how much it means to me. No, seriously, you have NO IDEA. Quit thinking you do. Cuz you don’t.

You are The Empress Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation. The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Hey kids.

Long time no see.

I wanted to let you know what’s up, because I said I would be a couple of weeks, but I have decided to give myself a month. I have until next Wednesday before I insist I quit these moody shenanigans and get back to blogging. I haven’t purposely taken time off from the blog in over five years. And it’s given me a some time to think about what I want to do with it in the future. I want to upgrade my MovableType to 4.x version. And I’m beginning to plan a new design.

I am, in no way, planning to stop blogging. On the contrary.

Tomorrow I will attend the kick off party for a local blogging conference, Northern Voice. I’ve been looking forward to this for some weeks. An extremely kind local blogger I’ve traded comments and emails with, Airdrie, has volunteered to introduce me around. Should be a good times.

So I will see you next week, m’kay?

Love ya! Mean it!
