Royal Russ

Originally uploaded by Russish.

I was (still am) working late tonight, and so as usual the company provided dinner. Tonight my producer decided to get Red Robin, so I got my usual: a Royal Red Robin Burger, extremely well done; if I can’t write on the table with it, it’s not done well enough.

(I’ve learned that if I ask for my hamburger to be well done, they usually leave it on the grill for about two seconds longer than they do a rare burger, and that’s not well done. I want it browned all the way through, no pink left. The only method I’ve found to make this even a remote possibility is the hyperbole I used above, and even then it’s a remote possibility that it’ll come out how I like it.)

When my producer came back with the food, they had marked my box appropriately, I thought.

I’ve recently decided, for a number of reasons, that it would be good and beneficial to make use of this site for its intended purpose, namely blogging. Possibly that’s because I noticed that in a couple of months I’ll need to renew my domain registration and realized I hadn’t actually posted anything here, well, ever. Possibly it’s because I’ve begun to read a few of my relatives’ and friends’ blogs on a regular basis and realized it would be a good way to socialize with them.

Mostly, at this particular moment in time, it’s because I should be doing some work right now but hit a mental wall and needed to do something to clear my head and unbefuddle myself and came across this post on my brother Rik’s blog while browsing around, which inspired me to try to do something permanent each day. This is permanentish.

Now that I’ve spent a good half hour or so setting everything up here, finding a halfway decent theme (although it’ll probably change a bit over the next few days/weeks as I continue tweaking and personalizing everything), and posting a real post, I’m going back to work. Talk to you in the future.
