Updates

There has been a def­in­ite fall off in the updates at SPK lately. Not much has been going on on the front page and vir­tu­ally noth­ing has happened on any of the oth­ers. Things have ground to a halt.

But in the real world things have been busy — or at least as busy as we’d ever like them to be. Over the last three months span­ning the end of 2009 and the begin­ning of 2010 a lot of things have con­spired to hap­pen all at once, cat­egor­ic­ally ruin­ing all fun, ever. Things like new jobs with erratic and often unex­pec­ted work hours, the dreaded fest­ive sea­son, appoint­ments with the immig­ra­tion depart­ment and the weeks of paper work con­nec­ted with them, actual pay­ing graphic design work, double flu which may or may not have been swine related but sucked either way, per­sist­ent cough­ing, self doubt, lack of con­fid­ence and the search for some kind of uni­fy­ing the­ory which explains the reason for ‘stuff.

There have been deaths. Sev­eral of them.

It’s just been that kind of three months — the kind where motiv­a­tion is at an all time low and which in an unpro­fes­sional like myself are the sort of time when you with­draw the gang plank and float adrift liked a crotchety pir­ate in a sea of ‘leave me alone’ and ‘is there any Jeremy Kyle on TV?’

But all things must pass — it’s one of those essen­tial gov­ern­ing prin­ciples of life neces­sary to mov­ing forward.

And that’s what the next few posts will be all about — passing on the things we didn’t have the time or motiv­a­tion to tell you about. It’s all about vomit­ing up the past three months onto your lap, wip­ing our mouths and mum­bling sorry before push­ing ourselves up into a stumble across the room like an unknown drunk at a party.

Classy.
