I suppose it's been a while since I have written a 530 update

[ferroelectric]

or any update for that matter. But it is worth mentioning that I have started to write some sort of an update at least once every other week or so for the last year but they never really amount to much beyond a list of banal or otherwise uninteresting activities or my ruminations on something that doesn't really merit it and will be forgotten about twenty minutes after I post it anyway.

So the short version is, things are good, still not with "regular" employment but I have been keeping myself at least mostly above water with some freelance work and various other projects. That may be looking up at least somewhat though. I am fortunate to be in the situation I am in currently and I am fortunate to be have the people around me I do at the moment (though there are a few far flung friends I would like to see more).

As an upside to tonight's episode of insomnia, I finally cleaned my dark room. Just need to wash a few trays and get some new chemistry now... I miss the smell of metol and hydroquinone. And with the prospect of employment that I am now facing I will probably be able to finance some work that I have been wanting to do for a while.

I should try to update this a bit more often in the future.
