Well, it's been a while. Over three months now, if I'm not mistaken. Longest hiatus I've ever taken from this blog, I guess, which doesn't mean I just spent a quarter of a year sitting on my ass.On the contrary. The whole process of rebuilding our new house in Delft, moving there, visiting IKEA, organizing everything from contractors to new furniture, visiting IKEA, trying to write stuff whenever there's time to spare and visiting IKEA has more than taken its toll. Add to that the obligatory Yultide-celebrations and it's 'Hello, Mr. Burnout' before you can even think about taking it a little easier.
Not to worry, though. Our own little version of Extreme Home Makeover is behind us and the stuff that still needs to be done couldn't possibly be categorized as agonizingly hard labor (because mounting a 50 inch plasma screen on the wall is FUN!). It's just that, looking back at these past months, it seems like regular life (writing, visting friends, watching films...) grounded to a halt. A complete standstill where everything just happened around me while I was... I don't know... zombified by the whole rebuilding-process.
Now that everything's behind us and our new house is finally starting to feel like home, I can happily say I'm a zombie no more. The battery's recharging, the wheels have started turning again and I'm back to giving the first draft of Sky the attention it so dearly deserves. Of course, I'll also update this blog as often as I can. There are some interesting ideas and projects lined up for 2008 and I, for one, hope that I'll finally manage to pry open some doors I've wanted to open for a long time. At least I'll work my ass off to make sure the material's there for the people on the other side of that door when opportunity presents itself.
