I'll be a tad scarce around the Web over the next few days, as my sister is visiting with her boyfriend (who brought me two bottles of bourbon -- score!), but I'm still keeping busy. In the meantime, snuggle up with my latest Rotten Tomatoes feature, which takes a look at Matt Damon's ten best-reviewed movies.

Thaw

Much as I dread the symphony of bloodsucking bugs that comes with spring and summer, there's something about the first few days after the mercury rises above 40 out here. Jackets off, windows down...and that snow on the ground melts away, a few centimeters at a time.

Awake

Yes, I'm still here, even though this space hasn't been updated since October, due to a glitch between my WordPress installation and Twitter Tools (one which I haven't been able to fix no matter what I do, so I'm giving up). After a year of forwarding this URL to Popdose, I reactivated Jefitoblog because, although I'm always writing for one site or another, there's always stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else -- mostly observations and remembrances that I think are either too personal or too brief to post at Popdose.

Problem is, I'm always writing...and when I'm not, it's usually because I've reached the point where trying to think of things to say feels like scooping out my brain with a melon baller. I just need to stop for awhile and recharge. As a result, Jefitoblog has developed a thick coat of dust, mostly forgotten, while I'm off earning a living and trying to turn Popdose into a favorite destination for awesome people everywhere.

I haven't given up, though, and if you're reading this, I appreciate you not giving up either. I'm still not sure exactly what I'm going to do with this space, but I have some ideas...
