Surely some of you have wondered where I’ve been for the last few days. I’ve been around, and I’m working on the Monitor Duty site’s new design and our new contest, but both of them have some serious bugs that need to be worked out first. NOTE: If I can’t get the contest form to work in the next day, I’ll just have everyone e-mail me their entry directly.

But the other thing I’m working on are some follow-up projects now that “Job Wanted” has been published. I’m developing some Fuzzball Comics projects and pursuing other writing projects. One of them is a comic book which is set during the Cold War.

However, I’m sorry to say that I received only 27.5% on my Holocausts of Communism Test. This marks me as “an Intermediate student of Communist atrocities”.

Now, I don’t feel too bad about this. This test seems more educational than anything else; you’d have to be a serious student of the subject to get them all right. The reason is that this is a test where there are usually 2 or 3 answers that sound about right, even if you know the subject well.

What I’m saying is, I still did a lot better on this test than someone in a Jay Leno Jaywalking segment who couldn’t tell you where the Ukrainian Famine took place or in which century the Cold War happened. Still, my low score is aggravating enough that I’m going to fling myself back into the pages of the Black Book of Communism for some re-reading before I tackle that comic book project.
