Popping in to say hi

hot_pastrami · 07-02-2007, 08:42 PM

At Lumberjim's electronic cajoling, I thought I'd stop in and say Hi to all of my old friends here at the Cellar.

Hi!

I'm still spending all of my time trying to be a software contractor and a writer/editor at DamnInteresting.com. It leaves less time than I'd like for other pleasurable pursuits (reading, drawing, sleeping), but it's better than rotting in a carpeted cube. The perpetual state of not-enough-writers at D.I. keeps me writing furiously throughout many nights, and I have almost eliminated sleep from my schedule by remaining in a state of only 2/3 consciousness at all times. Speaking of which.... mmmmmmrmmhhhhmmmm.

So how is everyone? I hope you're all still healthy, wealthy, and extremely good-looking. I do miss our synapse-tickling conversations!

XOXOXO

Holy crap! You write for DI? I read that site religiously!

Damn cool, HP. Glad you're doing something worth doing. Thanks for dropping us a line.

Good for you, HP! I have missed you around these parts, but I am happy for you.

Do you go by the handle "Floj" on DI, by chance? Call it a hunch....

Either way, thanks for reading (with extra corn)! Exclamation point!

I've missed you guys, too... you can't beat the Cellarites with a stick. Sniff.

Clodfobble · 07-02-2007, 10:22 PM

*cough*

Oops, that's never happened before, I swear...

DucksNuts · 07-02-2007, 10:38 PM

Ohhh I remember you now the *cough* thingie has started

LabRat · 07-03-2007, 08:46 AM

No, I don't have a login. I'm a freeloader.

Though now I'm going to create one... Hmmm... what name to pick?

glatt · 07-03-2007, 12:42 PM

I was wondering recently how you were doing. Thanks for checking in.

glatt · 10-31-2007, 02:42 PM

Very weird.

Over in the John Titor thread, I mention that it's too bad that hot_pastrami don't come around here no more, and then I'm browsing through Boing-Boing, and what do I see? An article by him gets Boing-Boinged.

DanaC · 10-31-2007, 03:14 PM

*smiles* Hallo HP, nice to see you! Remember though....all work and no play makes HP a dull boy...so make regular relaxing breaks to the Cellar to keep your fun levels topped up

Happy Monkey · 10-31-2007, 03:19 PM

You're almost four months late...
