Updating WordPress

heathen — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:53:40 +0000

I’m upgrading my WordPress files which involve secret inside behind the scenes things that I sometimes get confused about. I’ve backed everything up so if things disappear around here or get completely screwy, just know that I’ll be back eventually, in one way or another. It’s never gone awry in the past but there is always a first time for everything. Let’s see how this goes…

UPDATE: SUCCESS!

UPDATE 2: I’ll be working on a new design theme over the next few weeks so if you come over and find that things are fucked up or missing or working improperly, it’s likely due to that. I’m hoping to liven things up a bit and if you visit from a reader you won’t care at all, but if you come by the site and poke around from time to time, you’ll notice things will be different. I’m continuing to try new ideas and projects to spark my creativity which, as we all know, has been sorely lacking. One thing I can promise is that my next post is the annual holiday gift guide and is coming soon, so LOOK OUT FOR IT.

FAILURE

I can’t stop watching television.

Specifically, I can’t stop watching HGTV.

More specifically, there is a House Hunters International marathon on and Valerie and I can’t turn it off.

We’re sitting in bed, FULLY CLOTHED and NOT TOUCHING, watching television and eating tiny oranges.

She’s yelling at the guy looking for a home in Tokyo because he asks stupid questions. She just called him a fucking idiot and said she wants to poke him in the eye.

Now there’s a cranberry commercial talking about urinary tract infections.

THIS IS THE LIFE.

Tomorrow we discuss Las Vegas. Probably. If I can concentrate enough to write about it. I may have developed a case of ADHD because HEY LET’S GO GET ICE CREAM!

Ball Whackin’

Tonight I spent the evening whacking balls at the driving range with my friends Kim and Jill, giving myself a fat blister on my finger and possibly giving myself some crazy new form of sudden onset arthritis because that’s how I roll. Now It’s 1145pm and I’m running out of time. I was going to tell you all about my super fun trip to Las Vegas in September with Valerie where we swam, ate, shopped, gambled, walked and took a late night trip to the ER. I guess it’ll have to wait!

Here’s a photo to hold you over until tomorrow…

This is SO HARD! whine

I had more ideas for writing today. I’m going to have to do better at making time every day to sit and write something worthwhile. Also, I just got sucked into some show on HGTV called Property Brothers and I can’t talk right now because this bitchy couple is making me nuts and I need to yell at the TV for a little while. More effort and better planning tomorrow.

Peace out.

Coming Up

After discussing the future of uncouth heathen with several people, I’ve decided to keep going. I’ve always loved having this place to write and get to know some of the people who come here to read what I have to say. How can I abandon something that led me to my best friend and several other good people I’ve come to know and love? It may take me a bit of time to get going again, but I hope to really kick things off by participating in National Blog Posting Month which begins November 1st. I’ll also be messing around some with the design which won’t matter to you if you’re reading any of this via some feed reader, but it matters to me so fuck you!

I’ve had an incredible couple of months and some big changes have come about. I have a gay lady whom I love and adore. I’ve had some ridiculously fun times. I have some great new friends. I’ve lost some old friends. Janie has moved out and we aren’t exactly friends. It’s been a challenging time but also a time filled with some incredible beauty and so much love. I cannot wait to see how the future plays out.

Thanks to those of you who have stuck around and especially to those of you who have offered advice, support and encouraged me to continue. I love you all. Hugs and high fives.
