"It's about damn time!" some of you may be saying to your screen. Some of you will be saying this because I haven't posted in a while. Others will be saying this because you have dial-up and your internet connection is very slow. For whatever reason...welcome.

As most of you have noticed, I haven't posted in a while. There are several reasons for this. I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes I have an actual life. I don't like to share too much of that (relationships, family stuff, actual work) but I do have it there. Recently I've quit my job at the library at the Art Institute downtown (which I've had for three years) and been promoted to bar manager at the Kit Kat lounge, where I'd previously only been bartending. As this is now more of a grown-up job, I've actually been working 5-7 days a week, mostly long days; not heaps of time for blogging.

I will still try and blog as much as possible, but if there are a few days here and there when I just can't make it, please forgive me.

And for those of you who just can't get enough of a Josh fix from my blog (and those of you who remember when I had a weekly column at SidewinderZine.com), rejoice! I now have a regular column at LifeDuringWartime.net. The column will be up in a few days, but for now tide yourself over with a bio of me at the bottom of the main page (as the featured member). And while you're there read Kaytey's (yes that Kaytey) book review, placed nicely right next to my picture at the bottom of the site.

...Although, I can't imagine who would want more Josh after reading this horribly long post.
