Five weeks later...

I apologize to the readers of this blog, I've pretty much taken a six-week hiatus from writing.  I will have a few more reviews to post soon, including a general overview of the television show "Castle" and hopefully a couple more films too.  I have been out of town for much of July, in Florida and in Michigan at different times, as well as being sick for much of the past week, but I should be able to post new content soon.

Thanks for your patience!

Quick notes, general maintenance, and slight status update:

Finally, May.  There's just something about this winter that really lasted for quite a while for me.  I suppose my first task is to not write posts like this to invite some instant karma, but now that winter's over and I've been on the new job for two months, I feel far more optimistic.

We have made an effort to step up the posting, and I'm still extremely glad to have the Too Late Reviews series to continue.  I apologize for the recent downswing in posting, but I must admit that I've not been looking out for new stuff lately.  Escaflowne is still progressing and while I don't have too much pinpointed recently, I'll be working on figuring out a few other new articles to post in the next month as well.

On the MSTing front, Megane 6.7 posted his "Let's Play", a commentary for one of the shortest and most bizarre puzzle games I've ever seen, "Paul Quest".  It's pretty much a Rifftrax plus the game video itself, it's in four pieces and about fifty minutes total.  It's also pretty funny, please check it out if you have a few minutes.

In other news, Megane 6.7 and I will also be publishing a new MSTing very shortly.  We'll be announcing it here and posting a link to A MSTing For All Seasons when it is up, so stay tuned to this space!

Thank you to all our new readers.  We're more than happy to take suggestions, so please feel free to drop a comment on this or any other post if there's something you'd like us to review or comment on.  We are cross-platform to some small extent; Megane 6.7 is available on Twitter at @MSTerMegane67 and I am on Twitter at @ZoogzMST.  I also upgraded my Google account to Google+ and hopefully can be found via the name link at the bottom of this post.  I typically write a post on Google+ whenever the blog is updated.  Without cable anymore, I'm not sure if I can do a live commentary on anything going on, but I'll see if I can't get a few more quick-hit comments on Twitter if anyone's reading.  Whichever place attracts activity, I'll be there.

See you again with another #2LR soon!

Very slight update:

It'll be quick, I promise. I am an avowed proponent of free commenting. I love comments, though to be truthful there aren't too many here. However, I've been getting spam comments on a very frequent basis lately, and I'm getting a bit annoyed at the fact that it takes a while to take them down.

I'm absolutely not taking away anonymous comment settings. However, I am putting up one of those evil little "enter the letters" boxes, because I need to cut down on the robo-spam. I hate them myself, but I truly dislike seeing someone put the verbal equivalent of throw-up on this struggling little blog.

If there are any readers out there who disagree with this action, please be sure to put it in comments. (Ha!) Actually, you can also email me through the address at the website, though you may have difficulty being heard through the spam that thousands of robo-mailers have already deposited there.

Very little status updates to provide, other than I'm almost through the second play-through of Dragon Age, postponing watching more Azumanga Daioh because I've been in a funk for a while. I located a copy of Fate/Stay Night, though I am not sure if I will be checking it out soon.

Work is the same... it's either I don't put myself out and get what little satisfaction I can from my job, or I attempt to actually do work thinking I may get rewarded for it and usually get smacked down for presuming such an audacious thing. So, the job search continues as does registration for year 2 of 4 for master's degree. I could really use a win right about now, I've kind of forgotten what they feel like (and this is pretty much 85% of the current funk.)

If there are any series that any of the readers can recommend to get out of a funk, I'd be glad to know. Drop a line, I'm curious to know what I should attempt to review next.
