It’s pathetic to admit it, but the real reason I finally got off my butt and sent subsmissions out was because we had a challenge set up among my classmates from my Clarion West class, that we would send at least six stories out within the first three months after the end of the workshop. I barely made the deadline, but actually, it’s a good thing I held off. I caught a couple of things, such as the fact that in the beginning of “Soul Competency”, my Second Coming With a Twist story, the guy teaching English to The Lord …

Upgrading
As if I wasn’t busy enough already… I’m going to upgrade to the newest version of WordPress over the next couple of days, and see what happens.

Now, I didn’t pay attention to the date it was delivered until I heard something worth adding to my …
Now Using Flickr
I’m now using Flickr to host my photos, as you can see from the new photo-block and link in the sidebar. I have uploaded a bunch, and with my pro account, I’ll be able to upload a bunch more. All I need to do is get around to doing it. I have 2 gigs of bandwith allowed me per month, so I think most of my decent photos from the last few years should be uploaded by the time next semester starts. Note that there will be some pics — shots of my girlfriend, and others — that will be …
