mission: impossible. daily posts until i move.

Shut the front door!!!!!!!!

I have ignored this blog for a really, really, really long time. Like, if we were friends, my blog would pass me by on the street, do a double take, and ask the person next to her, "Dude, was that Karen that just walked by?" And clearly, this person, the blog's best friend, would really have no idea because I've been gone so long, they didn't even know I existed. Which? Fair enough blog's best friend.

Of course I've been wanting to come back, but I've been busy and totally stressed out, and potentially a little uninspired. Killer though has been heckling me, making me promise to start again, and continue once I move. What's that? Oh yes. I've decided to completely sack-up and move to New York and temp and (fingers crossed) finally get a job that uses my skills more than the one I'm currently at. So I think starting this blogging thing up again might be in part a procrastination tool in regards to packing up my apartment. The move date is impending, and I do what I do: procrastinate better than anyone else possibly could.

So I was coming back to the blog with no real idea of what to comment, and shut the front door! FREDO VIOLA COMMENTED ON MY BLOG POST ABOUT HIS SONG. Seriously? The fucking coolest thing to happen to me in, well, I can't even think. Mind. Blown! I'm absolutely speechless about the fact that he commented on my blog and totally updated me on his music. You guys? My letters actually reached him. Totally my hero.

Yes. This is me totally geeking out. I have to say I was totally jealous, and a little awed when Killer finally commented on the book "Finn" that I bought her for her birthday on her blog and how bloody well it was written, yadda, yadda, recommend, yadda. (Like six months later! Way to get to your birthday present dude!) Well, I was reading the comments on the post (I think to bask in awesomeness of my present to her) and saw the author had commented. Thanking her for her interest and mentioning he found the post via a google alert. I was totally impressed and was all, "How cool is that that he read your post and commented?" She was pretty cool about the entire thing. I feel I can safely say that in cool points I totally fucking win. The Fredo Viola posted on my blog.

I'm still totally obsessed with "The Sad Song," and still have regularly checked his site for updates. Clearly I should have been reading my own blog and not been such a douche. So Fredo? In case google has sent you back over here? Thank you. You rock and I'm really looking forward to your music and future videos - especially since you're concerned with maintaining quality and heart in your work. Keep on keeping on.

Talk about totally making my day. I guess this means I have to get back to wrestling with my apartment. I mean how much stuff can a person own?
