It's a miracle! I have Internet! Semagic is actually working! At the same time!
Well well, life has certainly progressed since my last 'posted' entry. I am now halfway through my second-to-second-to-last week of working as a voluntary journalist at the St Helens Star (as in I have three weeks left, including this one). Jason's gone to Exeter for the induction week of this Horticulture course he's soon to be starting. His Mum, Maria, has not gone back to Tom and doesn't seem to want to - thank god. The most recent thirty pages of 'The Great Couch Happening of '69' have gone missing so I'm focusing on 'The Chronicles of Stan' while I search for them. I have finally seen Caravan perform in concert, which was utterly fantastic!
Our Internet's been off for a little while because we have finally escaped from TalkTalk! Dad finally decided he'd had enough and gave Sky the call to change our providers. After a week or so of 'net downtime in which everything was shifted over, here we are, floating in a cloud of low-cost, high speed Internet and good customer service! I'll only be able to enjoy it for a month but what the heck - it's worth it after what you all know has been a long, gruelling saga of Internet fuckery.
I guess it's time I start filling in the gaps, then! Like I said in my last posted entry ('
Don't Cut the Air Off Yet; I'm Still Breathing!' - July 26, 2011), I have entries both handwritten and typed to get up here. It's going to be a long effort but I think it'll all be worth it to see my journal all together and complete. Plus readership seems to have sloped off with my absence, understandably - I must make it up to you all!
