Been a while, yes.

I'm here and I'm still alive.

Some updates.

Writing

I'm finishing some stories I've written. I mean finished for good, as in I'm no longer allowed to put them aside and say "I can make this better". I've started a series of short stories that I have to fix up. They all take place in the same storyline but many are...

So I was incorrect and I'm still here.

Yay for being incorrect!

It's December already.

How the year has flown by.

It marks a year as an SG member.

It also means that I won't be back for a while. Not that I have frequently visited here for quite some time anyway. It's not that I dislike the site, the threads, or the friends -- however distant and fleeting some of these friendships may be.

I had a dream last night in which the phone rang and I glanced at the caller ID display as I always do and it said, Christopher Lee.

She's in a hospital as I write this. When she is released, she will be living in a nursing home until she passes. I'm told that...

Not much has been going on worth posting about. So rather than doing nothing here today, I'll just say hello and sorry if I'm being a hermit at the moment.

The Week So Far, and The Notorious Black Widow Pigeon.

Been a cool week so far. And now it's almost over.

I'm rambling because I want to let my mouse charge up for another minute or so. I hope that you don't mind. No? Awesome. You're the greatest. In that case, here is my full 27 page report on the history and migratory patterns of...

I was thinking about going to a movie tonight. Frankly, I am sick of going to movies by myself but I'm bored and I have one free pass left.

The Interpreter at 9:55, or Kung Foo Hustle at 9:00?

I'm going to see Hitchhiker's Guide on Thursday (one of those rare times when I am out with other people), otherwise we wouldn't have this decision...
