Hiatus

As you can tell, the old bloggity-blog has been on hiatus for a while now.
It's partially because I've been too swamped to find time to post anything meaningful and I got bored posting weekly previews of my comic books.
The other reason is because I'm doing so much other social networking nowadays that this seems repetitive. And also redundant.
Might come back to this eventually, if I have something to say that doesn't fit into 140 characters... but in the meantime, check me out here:
