In the spirit of not letting too much time pass without an update, have a few semi-random bullet points about things that have been going on with me!

• DragonCon. This was a lot of fun, although I feel that I was not particularly successful with panels or celebrity-related anything this year. Of the four panels that I did go to, I had about a 60% ( Read more... )

[Talia update: here in week 3 of the projected month, she's doing absolutely great. Onward!]

Wikipedia tells me that the Fimbulwinter is three winters in succession without a summer. After looking out my window, at all kinds of pictures from Tennessee, and at news from New England/the Northeast, here's hoping that this isn't just the start of a ( Read more... )

One of these days I'll get back to a more regular schedule of updating, with appropriate crossposts, but it's probably not this day. In the meantime, have some bullet points about things I've been doing or thinking about lately.

The subject line says it all, really. It's that kind of day, in which I hop from topic to subject to point like a sparrow might from branch to branch.

And for topics, I'm starting with this song. "All Will Be Well," by the Gabe Dixon Band. I first heard it thanks to a playlist that chaos_pockets made, and there's just something about it that resonates for ( Read more... )
