“In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.” -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Welcome to The Procrastinator’s Rant! Chances are you’re new here (it’s okay, that’s why I finally got around to adding an About page), so let me explain what you’re getting into (if you decide to keep coming, which would be nice):
Back in the day, it was called “The Procrastinator’s Rant-of-the-Day” because when I started up the blog, I was a huge procrastinator, most of my opinions are conveyed in rants, and I felt like writing a daily blog. Aside from that last part, this is still pretty much all true (I usually update every three days or so).
My name isn’t really Spiffy McPantsman, but that’s my internet pen name/thing. No, I don’t remember how I came up with it. I’m critical, a little sarcastic, and play the ukulele.
My blog loosely centers around a few topics: Poetry/Fiction, Music, Technology, TV, Video Games, and Movies. I typically either review stuff or rant about news under these various topics. I’m also rather prone to ignoring these topics altogether and ranting about something else entirely. It’s also entirely possible I’ll decide to add or change a topic. Exciting, I know.
Musically, I’m not really one of those indie “it’s only good if you haven’t heard of it!” people, but I rarely, if ever, listen to the radio and mainstream music… so my music rants sometimes have a sort of “off the radar” feel to them.
As far as video games go, I own a Wii and a DS and have, accidentally, been Nintendo-exclusive like that for the past three generations, and am becoming increasingly disillusioned with Nintendo, but am not in a position to be able to do much about it. Most of my video game news will be centered around those systems, but I’ll cover other stuff whenever I see fit.
Technology posts are just about whatever catches my fancy. Or scares me.
Poetry/Fiction posts are so I can just post poems, short stories, and just creative writer-y stuff in general whenever I want to post something like that. This is a new category, we’ll see how long this lasts.
At the moment, that’s about all you need to know to pretend you’ve been reading my blog since day one.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
(Hint: For added comedy, I usually say even more funny things in each post’s tags. Collect them all!)
