So, that happened…

Behold!  The Mark of the Beast!  Well, not really.  But it is the reason that I’ve been away from you for so long… What you’re looking at is the printer’s mark of England’s first printer – William Caxton.  Caxton has been the focus of my doctoral thesis for the last four years… and, so, it’s really his fault when I don’t update.

But no more!  As of Friday, the thesis is out of my hands.  And while I wait for my exam, I can finally get back to business here.  First of all, let me say that I’m terribly sorry for not responding to all of the lovely people who have come to inquire about the site.  I will definitely get in touch, but I wanted to say that it was nothing personal.  The dissertation has been consuming my life all Summer long, and has left me scant room for anything good or fun.

Well, that’s all about to change.  In the next day or two, updates will begin anew.  Woo!

Something to say…

Hi, Everyone!  First, let me apologize for being away.  It’s been a busy week and a half, but I have now finished my dissertation and can begin to pick up the pieces.  So, updates are a-coming… honest.

For now, I wanted to let you all know about a little change in format over here.  I’ve moved the “Things I Should’ve Mentioned” posts into the newly created NEWS category.  I’m going to update the NEWS section more frequently, with smaller posts, and hopefully have a more agile, interesting site as a result.  We’ll have to see how you all feel about them…

So, you can click on NEWS up above to get started, and you can see the most recent entries in that category on the right-hand side at the top.  I hope you’ll like it!

Things I Should’ve Mentioned…

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the first entry in our very own “news round-up” series.  A lot of things seem to happen that are difficult to expand into a full-on article, but remain worth pointing out just the same.  And seeing as my rapidly ending Ph.D. program really intensifies the problem, I thought that this might be a nice way to capture some of those stray articles that seem to be piling up.  So, follow me, and I’ll show you news from Stars, The Vaselines, David Byrne, and more!
