social media and other failures

obviously i haven't been here in quite some time.  it feels like more posts start that way than any other way?  the truth is, i'm not so good at maintaining an on-line existence at the same time as a flesh & blood existence.  i have a facebook.  i have a twitter.  i have a flickr.  pinterest.  ravelry.  hopefully i've remembered them all.  but as much as i like to read other blogs and see other peoples' pins, i'd really rather spend my time knitting and watching bad sci fi than updating my own posts. 

don't worry, this isn't going to be any sort of farewell, but more of an explanation.  in my productive life as a somewhat overly-involved member of society, i am a lawyer.  this means that i spend all day, every day in front of a computer.  except on those rare occasions when i am in court (*digression ...  let me tell you, real lawyering is not at all like tv lawyering.  we really spend the majority of time at our desks, or at meetings.  the real fun comes once in a while when you actually get to get up off your chair, walk the few blocks to the courthouse, and make shine the arguments that you've already made on paper a few times.  even more rare, and more fun, are the days you get to shuffle over to court and cross-exam a witness.  those days are few and far between*)  anyway, so, my point is simply that after spending all day, every day in front of a computer, it is quite difficult to spend my free time transferring photos, formatting posts, etc. etc. 

in any event, my plan is to start offering more free patterns, as i have several of them written and/or in the works.  so, perhaps that will make my extracurricular computer time somewhat less repetitive of my required computer time!

until next time (and who knows when that'll be),
