Cleaning house

For the few of you that may be wondering why I’ve been relatively quiet everywhere on the web over the past few weeks, the answer is simple: I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with my offline life. That, and I need some change in my online environment to stimulate my thought and interaction again.

Changes are afoot.

In order to break my blogging slump, I’m re-evaluating the platforms that I’m using to communicate. I’m also working with Long Nguyen to re-jig some of these platforms and make them work for me instead of me adapting to use them.

The changes are not going to be immediate, so you won’t see anything drastically new around here (or anywhere else in my life) for the next few weeks. Just keep in mind that I’m still plugging away here in the background. A mid-summer house-cleaning, let’s say.

I’ll be around, but probably won’t be entertaining until the house is in order. Thanks for your patience.

Where’s Vasta?

Missed me?

There’s a reason I haven’t been blogging for over a week: I’m going through a slump.

Before you go out and tell me that slumps are reserved for professional sports players and bloggers are immune to the vagaries of hot and cool spells, let me assure you that blogging is, indeed, a very streaky endeavor.

I need to bust this slump. Other than sharing a golden thong or playing with blowup dolls, I’m not quite sure what people to do help them break out of slumps.

How do I get my blogging swing back? What do you do when you’re going through a bit of a slump, on your blog or elsewhere?

Any tips you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I’m going to go down a can of SlumpBuster Energy Drink and then go and order me a case of BrainToniq.

(Aside: Why does nobody carry BrainToniq in Ontario? I’d be their best customer!)
