I have started a new blog here. It is called vintage flying saucers and fortean stuff. There isn't much there yet and it will mostly be photos, as I add to my vintage magazine collection. Normally I just post those photos on facebook, but people seem to like them and I have gone -months- without starting a new blog, so it must be time. :-D
Aside from that, pretty boring here. I ended up on the phone with comcast for 4 hours (on and off) on Monday. They finally forced me to switch to digital cable and so I hooked up my box and they couldn't seem to figure out how to send a signal to it. Finally, they connect me with a local guy, only to make a service appointment, but he is the only one that knew anything and he had me up and running within 5 minutes. Apparently outsourcing to India (I could tell by the accents) isn't as good as local.
I thought I would need to catch up on news -- I was without anything except for network TV and QVC for a week, but as it turned out I had missed NOTHING. Now I have like a zillion channels, but many of those are doubles. HBO and HBOHD and other multiples. Oh, and there is radio on my TV now. Really, I preferred my regular cable that I had before, it wasn't so confusing and there weren't nearly so many channels to flip or scroll through.
Well, then yesterday I went into town to stock up so that hopefully I won't have to leave my house until after black friday and grey saturday. I have friends that dearly love black friday and I totally don't get it. If I had a lot of shopping to do -- I would rather pay a bit more than put up with those crowds of shopping obsessed people.
So now you are caught up and much like me with the cable TV -- you now realize that you missed NOTHING.

I agree with you on the black Friday stuff. I did it once and will never do it again.
