EDIT: It’s back up!

Okay, so you longtimers who have followed the fan site I do about Rory McCann may have been wondering where the hell it went. I specify longtimers because a lot of you will be aware of this site here, so possibly you will pop in for an update. I wanted to let you know I just renewed the domain name, and it’s only been a day since it expired so the site files should still exist. I’m basically waiting for it to propagate properly now, and then it should come back online.
I have no excuse, really. I knew it was expiring, I got the notices (though weirdly, I am not sure the host emailed me WHEN it expired), and I just… put it off. My bad. Mea maxima culpa. It is not that I didn’t have the money. My current living situation has meant that I always have money anymore, because I don’t have to spend it all. I’m just a fucking flake.
(Sorry, Rory!)
(Not that he probably cares.)
So anyway, that’s what happened. I didn’t give up or anything. It’s still there. Promise.
And while we’re on the subject, I have to brag a little. I’ve now been at Current Job for eight months and some change. That’s the longest I’ve been employed by someone (I did Uber Eats for longer, but that’s a 1099 contractor) since I came back to the working world in 2021. It’s minimum wage, and even California’s minimum wage is not enough to live on independently — in California or anywhere else — especially if it isn’t full-time, and this isn’t. But my living situation has made it doable for a time. Plus it has meant I have a steady daily routine, which has been good for me on other levels.
I would, however, like to request good thoughts, good energy, prayers, or similar for tomorrow, because I have a job interview in southern Oregon near my brother. If this goes well it’ll be good for at least a one-dollar raise per hour plus going to full time and I’d actually probably have health benefits. And I’d be very near my brother and niece. All good things. My time here has been very interesting, and if I can end it on a good enough note I will probably come back and visit, but my lil bro needs me at this point in our lives and I was getting antsy anyway. There’s being willing to help people and there’s being a martyr. I fear I have been leaning too far in the latter direction. I need to quit doing that.
Meanwhile, I still intend to improve that fan site quite a lot. Intentions don’t count for shit if you don’t act on them, but it’s something I want to do. If I didn’t, I would have just let the site die. Nothin’ doin’. Still adore the big man. Watch that space.
