Oh, right, I have this blog.
It would appear I am on something of a hiatus. (An hiatus? Oh, shush.)
There is work: the balloon went up at the day job, and now I have three times as many people to oversee as before. I really need to finish the ceiling in my office (those of you who’ve assisted, my thanks: it is now just under two-thirds complete. In May—or was it June?—it was one third less than it is now); winter, after all, is coming, and unceiled eaves are drafty. Having in a rash moment submitted a manuscript to a magazine for their consideration, I now feel a nagging itch to do so again; the story that presented itself as next in the queue, however, though clearly outlined on paper, refuses to budge past the opening of the second scene, such as it is. And the Spouse, in a bid to finish her current chapter by the end of October, hell or high water, has drafted me as a jackleg flat colorist, which is pleasantly tedious work, but hard on the carpal tunnel. (Basically, I’m doing stage 3 and a little of stage 4 on a couple of pages.)
So, um. Yeah. The blog-thing. You heard Derrida died, I bet? Yeah. And Superman, right?
Hey, how ’bout that election?
(Oh, don’t feel too badly. There’s emails going back weeks I need to answer, and let’s not even look at the phone calls to be returned, shall we?)

You're one to talk. You can't even be bothered to capitalize properly.
We (Australia) just had an election. It was bad.
Hope yours goes better.
Welcome back! You were missed -
no doubt, our aim will improve.*
By the way, when you get caught up
on your email, I'd like to resume
our discussion in re: Delany's
PPC, if you're willing to do so.
*A joke my seven year old laughs
vociferously at. I'm waiting for
the day he actually gets it.

Long Story points us at a recent obituary; now we may never know for sure whether or not he was kidding all along.
Derrida didn't really die. He was simply recontextualized into another paradigm. Dematerialized, if you will.
