for some reason, the vagrantcafe.com website is down and has been since at least yesterday night at some point, probably earlier.
to whomever might read this that doesn't get here from there, i'm sorry, and i've contacted our host's technical support.

i wonder if anyone reads this anymore. i went for so long without regular updates...
on one hand, i don't really like a whole lot of attention. on the other hand, it's a weird kind of good feeling to know people read your stupid little rants and vents.

i think the biggest thing i want to do--and i hate "new year's resolution" type stuff but perhaps this should be one--is to actually improve my writing via my little journalistic attempts right here. for too long i've let this be not only sporadic, but also sloppy. not that it has to be formal or of incredible quality every time, but if i get used to writing a certain way just as a way of self-gratification, then the writing i actually do for writing's sake may suffer. i'm still not sure about using caps, though, that's such a big step for me. :-)
