Captain's Blog, Stardate 1.0

"...See?"

I believe I said something about it being unlikely that I'd post anything anytime soon. Or... maybe I didn't word it like that... this is a computer - I could go check with some minor hand motions. If I didn't, that would indicate that I am very lazy.

So anyway, yeah, It's been a while.

To be honest, I haven't been completely committed to this laziness thing.

My real life has been uncharacteristically busy.
I took a holiday for pleasure that didn't involve my family at all. I am slowly preparing to move house.

SpaceX had a very public rocket failure literally moments after I got off the plane home from my holiday, which thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I was able to gape slack-jawed and traumatised at live in the arrivals hall of the airport via my phone. So that'll probably figure into an article at some point.

Blog-side, I've been doing various ill-coordinated things behind the scenes, such as collating my prior writings from Reddit on various topics, and actually writing creatively (that's what you say when you never finish anything, because saying "I write stories" implies that they are complete) fairly often.

I also have a partially-written article on the TV show Community, which just wrapped its 6th season in a pretty unique way, or rather, had just wrapped when I started the article. That might appear some time.

But yeah, I haven't been too committed to those, either. It's like me and laziness have this comfortable, open relationship, and I have the occasional casual fling with productiveness that rarely goes anywhere.

But I suppose I'll start publishing things here.

I think you can time your releases, so since I have this story I've been sitting on - inspired by a prompt from the excellent does-what-it-says-on-the-tin subReddit /r/WritingPrompts back in January - and I have... some pages... written, I'll start dribbling it out here every few days for whatever reason.

Enjoy, whoever you are!

And you, who wants the EMdrive article... I don't want to do an injustice to what is an evolving situation, so... it'll just take a bit of a surge of confidence some day to tackle that beast. Hopefully that's some day soon.

Right. I've run out of things to say. Stop error-checking this, Destructor. Hit the publish button before you start insulting yourself, you idi- shit.
