Nothing like the holidays and being away from home to really kill a blog.  But the time away from the computer has been a good thing.  I’ve been eating a lot of good food and seeing good friends and generally having a good time, even if it’s all a bit exhausting.  Sadly, after a little over a week of just relaxing, I’m starting to feel anxious about the things I’ve been neglecting, like schoolwork and the blog.  Okay, the schoolwork is really the thing making me feel anxious, but the blog is something I can easily do something about.  Hopefully, my posting now will help me allay those feelings of guilt for a few more days so I can enjoy the rest of my vacation.  I hope everyone else out there has been enjoying themselves as much as I have.   Once I actually get back in town, perhaps I will regale you all with the tales of my exploits (ie. produce some pithy reviews of movies and video games).
