PAGING SHINGENMOCHI: Well, it's certainly been a while. Who would've thunk that alien abductions were for real? I mean, all I wanted to do was try something wild and spontaneous like — oh, I don't know — cow tipping. Lesson learned, that's for sure.
OK, so I really didn't get kidnapped by aliens. Big surprise, I know. It just so happens that right after I decided to launch this blog, I also started a tech, science and video gaming blog called Power On at work. And as someone who takes great pride in his endeavors, I devoted a lot of personal time on Power On to make sure it justified its own existence. That and to make sure that it didn't get spanked too much by my paper's uber-popular dog blog. People love, love, love, LOVE their dogs. Seriously. About the only thing that could've competed was a cat blog — but cats were also covered in the dog blog. And lions. And tigers. And parrots. And Bigfoot. In fact, an entry on Bigfoot was singlehandedly responsible for causing a 1,000-plus hit lead I had one day to quickly evaporate. Dog/animal/monster blogs mean business, people!
The good news is that my hard work paid off and my little work blog managed to become our paper's No. 1 blog since it launched last year. The bad news is that it damn near killed all my other extra-curricular activities including this blog. Looking at my poor little tabiasobi blog, I've only gotten two comments that look like spam in a foreign language. I love the Internet!
But no more dallying around, I say. I've decided to re-dedicate myself to the cause of my first blog ever. Hopefully, that means that instead of waiting five long months between updates, my non-existent readers will now only have to wait four months instead. I guess I may be taking the "asobi" part of tabiasobi a tad too literally...
