Using Openbox as always.

The blog has unfortunately been gathering dust recently due to a busy work schedule and the necessities that come from moving home. I’m lucky to get half an hour here and there to log into World of Warcraft. My photography has also suffered, through an added lack of interesting subjects and time to Get Out There and Shoot Things. So here is my proof of life. I’m alive, we’re all alive, and we’re doing the things that come of being alive. I’m continuing with my writing; I posted “Fulcrums” here last week, and I have the first part of another piece, called “True Love,” up here on Storiesville. Part two is nearly finished. I hit a wall in trying to describe the location for a scene and eventually gave up on a long, descriptive passage in favour of character exposition.

And that, for now, is the end of Teh Good. My last employer, Monarch Promotions let me go due to the company downsizing all of their departments. I’m angry about the way in which they let me go, and their given reasons for it (I earned too much?), but all I’m going to say on this subject. I truly enjoyed my time at the company and worked with a great bunch of people. If you’re an employer and wish to hire a Linux/Windows/OS X administrator, a retired professional photographer, an accounting clerk, inventory controller or online writer, please contact me. I can also be reached directly by email to mark at bhalash dot com.
