thank you for all the "welcome back" comments. and i feel that you guys deserve to be told some special story about why i haven't posted for so long.

but alas, all i can tell you is that from august till this month nothing really special happened. i guess i was just plain busy or lazy (or both?).

maybe:

• we attempted to enter the priesthood
• we lost our xanga password
• we keep forgetting to set our blogs public
• our maxim subscription ran out
• we got caught in cleavage (or should that be: between cleavages? does "between cleavages" denote two women?)

and then, over the past couple of months i have been trying to help a friend complete his x-men cyclops collection. let me tell you it's crazy the way some toy prices skyrocket over time just because it is supposed to be a collectible.

but it's fun. i've even started to enjoy restoring this one:

because even superheroes need to take a bath:

and a makeover:

before they can continue to save the world.

i could have chosen to save the world myself. instead i find a hobby that takes me on the road to my second (or is third? or fourth? or fifth?) childhood.
