Where the hell have you been?
I mean, "I." Where have I been.
Oh, walking here and there, they say, as an old man, hooded and cloaked.
Anyway.
Here's this news: Astonished Head is...well, it's finished. I've got nothing more to say here, really, and rather than give the place new drapes I'm just going to shut it down. I mean, it'll still be here, hanging around in the trackless space between pings and packets, but there won't be any more writing at this place. It's been over five years, and I've got other web-based things I want to do.
There will be a new site, at some point: Vague Media. The domain's already mine, but there's nothing there yet. I'll pop by to announce when it's up, but it won't be for awhile. "Astonished Head: The Comic" will live on at Vague Media in another form, along with other secret things I won't divulge right now, mostly because I don't know what they are yet.
So...uh...see you around, I guess. I mean, if you want to hang out here, that's cool and, you know, if you want to read other sites and stuff, that's OK. I won't be mad or anything.
It was...fun.
And stupid.
And meaningful.
And pointless.
And neurotic.
And, sometimes, almost sensible.
Thanks for stopping by.








Dude,
Glad to hear that you are finding inspiration elsewhere. I can't wait to check out the new digs! Classic name, too: "Vague Media."
Do you feel a tinge of sadness shutting AH down? I felt a little nostalgia shutting tenfingers6strings down, but feel even better moving on to better things.
I still think that AH On The Road was fantastic and, because of that trip, I gained good real, opposed to virtual, friend!
Cheers brother!

A bit of a twinge, yeah. But, like you, I'm excited to start something new, especially after sort of stumbling along here for five years, paying attention to what works and doesn't, and so on. I've seen a lot of sites come and go, and there are a few that are still going that started before I did. Hopefully I've learned a few things and can make Vague Media something better.
And yes: the trip would not have been the same without our web connection translating into real life!

Aww.
Oh well, onwards, upwards, all things pass and other clichés.
Please don't be gone too long though, I like your writing and subject matter. There's nothing like enough of that on these here interwebs.
