I’ve been quite sick as of late. To make it worse, my only source of entertainment, Screw You! looks like it’s gone to temporary hiatus. I installed a Christmas theme because there’re only 27 days ’til Christmas! I’ll mail cards on Wednesday and hopefully, they’ll get to everyone by December 25th. I’m beyond busy right now. Because of my condition, I decided to take a well-deserved break from work starting December 15 to January 15. I only have 17 days to get six weeks’ (Dec. 1 - Jan. 15) worth of work done. I will have minimal amount of work to do during that one month, particularly my new blog gig. But I’m totally in love with the topic, and it’ll take me around 30 minutes per day to write one post so it’s all good.

My plans for my Holiday vacation consist of the following:

1. Launch a new science-centric blog. The theme would be science that even the lay audience could understand. I have a particular sub-discipline in mind, but I don’t want to risk idea piracy so I’ll keep that to myself for now.

2. Do heavy promotion for my Japanese entertainment-centric blog. I got into contact with one Japanese indie artist, one Japanese major label artist and one American indie artist over the past few weeks. If nothing happens to prevent them, I’ll have three exclusive interviews for the web site by early next year.

3. Turn this blog into a role-play blog. Basically, my idea is to write as a different character each day and as myself during Sundays. I’m still coming up with the details but it’ll most probably start after December 15.

4. Rest.

I have to go now. I have a ton of stuff to do and my eyes just hurt too much to dilly-dally.
