I am alive.
And many thanks to Andy, Helen, and Farshad for checking. Thanks to you guys, when I do go, they'll likely find my body before the dog has eaten the whole thing. :)

I don't know what's come over me, that I've stopped checking or writing email, or updating the journal, but I'll try to make sure that stops here.

That said, there aren't a lot of updates regarding my life. I got a job, a tedious little job, in a gray little cubicle, at a great big company that will keep me forever if I let them.
I'll try not to let them.

For anyone in Atlanta, or for that matter anyone at all who wants to make the trip, let it be known that damn near every weekend since we moved in here, we've been hosting people for weekends of poolside debauchery. This apartment complex is well suited to it- we've got two pools, so people take their kids to the big one, and leave us to our drunken devices at the small one, for the most part. There is also a park where we can play in a small river with the dog, a beautiful downtown area, and a lot of good restaurants. Josh will be more than happy to tell you about the BBQ. It's not a terribly long drive, and there's almost always someone already coming, so carpools are infinitely possible. Andy, I feel compelled to also mention specifically to you that there is anticipated a 'keg weekend', probably in the near future. The battle of wills regarding what the keg will contain has begun already, and it will either be an excellent weekend, or the weekend that gets us kicked out of the apartment complex. Hard to say which. In any case, anyone who wants to spend a weekend by the pool with a pina colada/jack and coke/jack and jack/keg/whatever your fevered imaginings drive you to, is welcome to come up some weekend and hang out. We'll be out of town this weekend and the weekend of dragon con (I'll get back to that in a sec), but other than that I think everything is open. I'm about tired of only ever seeing Josh's friends :)

Dragon*con. I AM going. Hotel arrangements haven't been made yet, so I can't really give a lot of information, and as of right now my sewing machine has not been unpacked, so I can't promise a lot of new and exciting costumes, but I WILL be there. So that's that.


Also, I have finger puppets, and they bring me joy. Please, because you are my friends, bring me joy that the burden may be lifted from poor little finger-sized Mahatma Gandhi.
