Lenny, where you at?

I had originally started writing this in October, but never finished it. Everything new I’ve added will be BOLD.

Damn. It’s been over a month since my last post.

Bad Lenny!

I know. I’m useless.

Why have I been m.i.a.?

A few different reasons, none of them from the happyjoy column - like I met a chick that’s sexually insatiable and I just haven’t had the energy to write. Yeah, not for any reason remotely resembling that. My reason’s:

• My year and a half old Dell XPS M1530 laptop running Microsoft Vista keeps (current tense, not “kept”, as it’s still happening – YES, STILL) randomly fucken dying. I’ve seen more blue screens than your local weatherman.
• The majority of my content, just by the nature of them, were my Jeopardy Clue of the Day posts. As much fun as I had doing those, many days, they would be the only content that I would post. And to be honest, that’s part of what intrigues me about having some daily on-going feature, so that even if I had nothing else to share/rant/observe, I would still have a fresh new post for people to read. But even in that feature’s beginnings, I feared this site becoming “that Jeopardy blog”. As such, I’ve decided to retire the COTD.
• Also, around the time of my last post, Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds was released. In the buzz and buildup for the movie, I was turned onto an artist by the name of Tyler Stout. His connection to IB? He was commissioned to create a limited edition Art Print Poster for the film. That poster (along with it’s variants) is truly a thing of beauty (pictures below – yeah, they were gonna be below, but I don’t feel like finding them on my hard drive. Just Google ‘em).  When I look at true art/creativity, I become defeated, ashamed of the sophomoric ramblings contained in these pages.

Anyway, I’m sure there was a lot more to this posting, but come on, that was like 8 months ago. You expect me to remember? At any rate, I’m back. I can’t say if I'll be posting with any kind of regularity, but I will be posting.

Site Update 9/11/09

So, if you’re a repeat visitor to this site, you’ll notice that I haven’t posted anything in a week. I can explain…the desktop publishing program I use to write these posts was giving me problems. I probably should have just tried restarting my computer, but I was determined to will it into working. Anyway, it’s working now, so I’ll be write more asinine ramblings soon. As for the Jeopardy Clue of the Day posts, I’ll probably just put all the ones I’ve missed the past few days into one post.

Hearts & Rainbows,
- Lenny

Site Update 8/5/09

I’ve missed 3 Clue of the Days as of Tuesday. Saturday’s fumble was due to my being on the losing end of an altercation I had with some alcohol that I met over the weekend. Monday’s and Tuesday’s misses have to do with my house/pet sitting duties for my Aunt. I’ve programmed her DVR to record me my Jeopardy’s, so that should get me back on track. I’ll probably come back to them and put them up in couple of weeks just for the fuck of it.

I’m gonna be here ‘til the 29th, so I doubt there will be any Inside My DVR columns. I guess I’m just gonna have to regale you all with my Lenny Vs. and Lenny Explains… articles.

I’ve got a few other write-ups in the works as well, so while APFL’s August won’t be as robust as July content wise, it shouldn’t be a complete wasteland.

Okay…
