First Blog Entry in Three Years


Was browsing the blogs here after the end-of-April "boom" in activity and thought I'd add my own since it's been almost 3 years since I've added anything here, although it's almost the end of May now. In fact, this is actually the longest gap between entries since I started this blog. :o

In many ways my life has followed the pretty natural progression from those last few entries. 

I'm still working the same job, although I've gotten a promotion and I've steadily gotten better at my work and picked up new responsibilities. I'm still enjoying life in my same apartment and I'm still responsible for my own messes and cleaning. Over time I've added new furniture and artwork to make it more my own. Really, in 2023 I had almost nothing here besides a kitchen table and a mattress on the floor.

I'm still a music nerd. If anything I've gotten deeper and deeper into it. If anyone here uses Rate Your Music or just wants to see my tastes you can find me on there here.

I got those crowns put on my teeth. Later on, I found a new dentist in my town to go to regularly. Turns out one of those crowns was put on improperly, leading to food constantly getting stuck in a hole near the bottom of the tooth after every meal I ate for about a year. I've gotten that taken care of now too.

I never did make any sort of post for Brickfairs 2022-2024. Maybe I'll get around to that, but probably not since I doubt anyone cares. I could do it though since I do have all my thoughts written down privately. I missed 2025 due to being too bummed out about some family stuff. It sucks that that turned out to be the last year in the Dulles Expo Center, but no one knew that was coming. I'll definitely being going this year with it being right in Baltimore. Maybe I'll post about that afterwards.

And I don't want to get too all into that family stuff I mentioned, but I'm very glad I've had my cousin as a relatively constant presence in my life over the last 3 years. Recently, she introduced me to a game I've been playing called Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts, which is where the image for this entry comes from. So there you go! It shouldn't be so long before the next one.

Congrats on the job going well! So sorry to hear of family struggles, hope things are improving. That’s great you have someone to rely on. Never seen that site before, interesting! Does your sound obsession include music reading or playing, as well? Glad to see you back here! Your entries are impeccably written and interesting.

No, beyond the little bit they taught in public elementary school here. Although, I'm sure having that knowledge would help me have an even deeper appreciation for music.

I'm a relative newcomer to RYM, but it sort of has that same vibe as BZP in the sense of being a website launched in the late 90s.
