The Bitter With The Batter

Regular readers may have noticed a sharp decline in the number of posts on The Horror Blog during the past few weeks. This week was supposed to be a return to form, but unfortunately the drought will be lasting a just a little bit longer.

This morning I was offered a fantastic postition at a studio over 7 hours away from where I’m currently living. I start the job in just two weeks, and my training will not only involve learning a new program, but also wrapping my head around an entirely new way of thinking about animation. Also, I won’t have my own place or my own personal computer for at least the first month. Taking these things into consideration, there is almost no way I can feasibly maintain the level of obsessive posting you’ve come to expect from The Horror Blog.

There is a bright side. First, I will occasionally pop in when I need a break from packing and training, and at the very least I’ll be sure to maintain The Horror Roundtable. Also, when the dust finally settles there will be a number of improvements to The Horror Blog courtesy of this move. My new job will be more stable, which will allow me to post on an even more regular basis. Also, the area I’m moving into contains possibly the highest concentration of movie bloggers on the planet, some of whom I will be working with at my new job. In addition, I will be even closer to many of the Horror Roundtable participants, including Doug Nagy, Billy, and other Golden Horseshoe residents. Finally, I’ll be very close to Toronto, which has a thriving horror community, so I’ll have ample opportunity to cover conventions, festivals and assorted screenings.

If you need your horror fix in the meantime, I highly recommend checking out the assorted blogs found within The Horror Roundtable.

Thanks for visiting. And remember, just keep watching the skies!

    Congratulations on the new job. You’re moving into the belly of the beast huh? The GTA has lots going on and is far more exciting than Ottawa [but I was never really partial to Ottawa when I lived there].

    Hey Steve I just heard the news, congrats man! We’ll definitely have to take advantage and talk about collaborating in the blogosphere at some point. Good luck with the move and getting settled, etc… I’m sure I’ll be talking to you soon.

  4. Steve Says:

    Merci beaucoup, JA!

    T. Van, like you I’ll be slightly outside the belly, as I’m moving to the Niagara region. And yeah, my stay in Ottawa was more of a punishment then any kind of real living.

    Thanks, Sean! It came as a complete surprise. I’ll see you and the rest of the gang soonish!

    Dave and Paul, you will most definitely see me at Toronto functions. I’m plenty excited!

    What are the SK movie nights like, Jay? My visit there was so brief that I have no idea what to expect.
