Look, I'm not a scientist.
And you thought I'd forgotten about you.
After all we've been through?
All the laughs? All the weird, misplaced sexual tension? All of the shameless self-promotion and endless amount of references to mid-'90s TV shows?
Okay, so I forgot about you.
Ohhhhh, that's not entirely true. You were always in the back of my mind. Every night when I got home from work during the past week, I thought to myself, "Hmm. Maybe I should blog. [Insert reader's name] might be worrying. But then again, six episodes of Top Chef are on."
Ohhhhh, that's not entirely true, either. (It was seven episodes.)
The thing is, ever since I transitioned into the role of web editor, I've had kind of a ton going on. Although I've been missing for a minute, in the long run, it's gonna be bringing us closer together.
I've been working on a few subtle changes to AltPress.com, one of which is happening to the editor's blogs right before your little eyes (especially if your little eyes are fixed on Jennifer Grathwol's blog, which they probably can't be unless you have another computer lined up right next to this one simultaneously, or, I dunno, another window open or something). Look, I'm not a scientist.
We're trying something different with the blogs, and now each of the editors will be covering a specific aspect of what we think might be useful to you guys--a little more than, say, stories about me blowing up an oven. Don't worry--the blogs as you know them won't necessarily go anywhere. But at least once a week, all of your AP editorial all-stars (Scott is a reserve) will be just a little more focused in their coverage. I'm sure nothing can keep Jen from blogging about her puppy; Scott from blogging about earnest, Midwestern emo; Rachel from blogging about Nebraska football; and/or Jason from making elaborate threats about how he'd like to whip a car antenna across somebody's back.
I'm not gonna give away any surprises just yet.
You're gonna have to come back every day this week to find out what each of us will be doing.
But rest assured, I'm not gonna stop Jason from swearing.
Nobody could.
Nobody.
Could.

I'll be honest TK, I was slightly worried for a bit.
I was too. But, I'm glad you're back.
"(Scott is a reserve)"
That made me laugh so hard.
dont you dare take credit for that oven.
I just want you to know your blogs brighten my day. You remind me a lot of my friends in different states. You know what. I might even consider you a friend in a different state. So there you go Tim, you've got a friend in Idaho now.
I too began to wonder where the hell you went... does all this explain your absence for the mosh pit?
We are missing our administrator.
Yes.
This explains it all.
All of your questions will be answered soon enough.
It's gonna be like an episode of Lost up in here.

You mean it's going to throw logic and the linear nature of time out the window?
Ok, I haven't watched the show in forever, but I hear it's just getting more and more insane.
