Yes, it’s been awhile. This is a good thing. The lack of activity on this site means that I’ve been very busy in my real, offline, life. To begin with, I mananged to weasel my way into an awesome job working as Music and Content Editor at a new music website called OEbase. I’m pretty much the luckiest person in the world, because this exactly the sort of thing I want to be doing: promoting local music, playing with computers (altho I want that less and less), and writing.
Yes, writing. I do a lot writing for site, which is funny because this blog and the Metempsychosis site were just about the only writing I used to do. Now I write all the time, and get paid for it. I’m actually starting to write freelance for my local weekly, The Willamette Week. Crazy shit!
I’ve also moved house. I now live in lovely SouthEast Portland, right by the legendary Movie Madness. It’s very nice there. I ride my bike to work just about every day, and often at night, drunk. I go to lots of shows and hear lots of local music.
So, things are going really well. If you want to keep up with me (whoever you are) check out the blog at OEbase, which I post to and read at work constantly. See you there!
