A Brief but Calming Note

Though I don't normally take requests, I've decided to make an exception this once. This post is for Percy.

Consider it your engagement present, my Peruvian friend. I know, I know...my generosity truly knows no bounds.

Percy has been repeatedly asking me why I'm not keeping up with the Masked Manifesto and when he can expect to see more of my wry hilarity (my words, obviously, not his) on his screen.  And so I issue this brief apology, explanation, and promise, specifically for Percy, but it applies to all of my loyal readers.  All 3 of you.

Apology: I'm sorry.

Explanation: Since starting a real-person job at Lyric Opera in my final semester of graduate school during which I am struggling to complete my research thesis, I seem to be completely unable to manage my time in such a way that allows me to write ridiculous dinosaur- and robot-related blog posts.

Promise: I will very sincerely try to get back into the swing of the Manifesto. With any luck, I'll be writing something at least once a week from here on out. If I don't, then there's a good chance I've died (or at least my desire has).

As a final aside, I want to point out that we're still VERY far from the readership we need in order to blow up the moon.  (See Post #1.)  This makes me very unhappy.
