I just wanted to fire off a short post to let you guys know why I haven’t been updating and won’t be updating for the foreseeable future.

My laptop crapped out a week ago but luckily didn’t take any files with it; it was only the battery and the hard drive was fine. I’ve traded with my dad and am working from a nearly brand new HP now. However, this computer doesn’t have a port for a phone line so unless there’s some sort of (hopefully cheap) converter, I can’t use the internet at my mom’s. Mobile broadband has just become available there, but it’s a bit out of her budget. I’ll be able to get online once a week when I can steal some wifi at her doctor’s appointments.

However… I don’t know how long this will be the case. I’m moving in with mom indefinitely while I search for a job in a nearby town to hers. Once I’ve found a job, I’ll be moving into my own apartment soon as I can. Getting my own internet, and the fastest I can, will be my number two priority for the apartment — ranking just below a bed and mattress.

What this all means is that I won’t be putting up spotlights for September, but I will try to get October’s posted as near to the beginning of the month as I can. Possibly sooner, since I’ll be in Nashville on September 29 to see HANSON. My third concert — fourth if you count an in-store acoustic thingy.

So there’s my news for now. Stay tuned for some updates to the layout of Extemporaneous while I’m briefly able to.
