Well, this episode managed to move things subtly forward and provide a history lesson along with some needed backstory. I’m thankful, very. Who knows, this show may not be so annoying after all.

Mind you that there’s still almost ninety minutes’ worth of material still to get through before I’ll know for sure.

I’m going to spend some time putting the kids to bed and puttering around the house. I need to move around, ya know?

We’re now past all of the easy entries, all of the entries I could just knock off without much in the way of effort. From here on out, I have to come up with things, I have to stay awake enough to write them coherently, and I must at least attempt to keep the entries interesting enough not to be a complete waste of electrons.

Well, two out of three will do nicely, wouldn’t you agree?

I’m down to three episodes of Serial Experiments Lain. Huzzah. Dawn wants me to churn through Digicharat when I’m able. Who knows, maybe I’ll be too burned out on anime by then. Then again, what else will I do with my remaining eight hours?

Two thirds of the way through my twenty-four hours. Excellent. Now for the fun part.

So what do I do, instead of finding breakfast or showering or loading bunny pictures? I get into the Blogathon IRC chat and hang out.

There’ll be plenty of time for that other stuff, right?

Okay, okay. I’m firing up the other computer now so I can hook up the camera. Sorry. There’ll be bunny pics next time, and more will be taken during the day. It’s amazing how quickly half an hour can pass you by, isn’t it?

So last night, realizing I didn’t want to roust the kids at 6am to help take bunny pictures, I snapped a couple of pics while Erica was doing her “tending the bunnies” evening routine.

Ah, how easy it is to crank out an entry. All I had to do was plan ahead, fire up another computer, offload the camera, resize the images, upload to my Gallery…

Oh, heck. This is going to be work? What the hell was I thinking?…

Okay, sorry about that last one. It was a case of Very Bad Timing. Here’s hoping the rest of the day is upbeat and enjoyable for everybody!

Oh, and I’m going to see about making the page load faster by removing some of the extraneous stuff. You know, stuff that loads off of other servers, that sort of thing. Wish me luck, eh?

Okay. I’ve moved my Currently Hearing info up, removed the random image, BlogShares, Memes List, one of the Syndication buttons (the auto-add aggregator-friendly button, that is), the Dead Pool link and the iMood indicator. I’m keeping the blogroll, though, so I sure hope blogrolling.com doesn’t hiccup.

I’m in the process of (sitka?) sprucing up the song listings in the Currently Hearing display. Doesn’t it look better already? Oh, wait… let me guess, none of you even knew it was there before, huh? It used to live right below the calendar. Dunno where it’s gonna go once the ‘thon is done, mind you.

Yes, I am crazy for tinkering with the layout during the ‘thon. Your point? And don’t worry, all the stuff that’s missing now will return tomorrow. Probably late tomorrow, but you get the idea…
