Time and hangovers make you a better writer? I hope that's right.

It's been a long time since I've been here. Basically, here's my sob story: I took a job that paid a lot more money (but I pay with my mental fortitude) and planned a wedding.

Guess which of the two didn't suck.

That's right. Technically neither. Unfortunately, the mental toll that the new job took on me came at the price of my writing ability. I really didn't think, and still don't think, that anybody really wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Google's ad serving technology. That was really all I had to talk about.

But now, the flood of confusion information has receded and I am now more competent, and can do my job without breaking a sweat. I mean that literally. The HVAC sucks.

Soon you'll be able to catch me on geekgirlonthestreet. You can also catch me talking about Japan at shirojin.com.
