Apologies for not being around. I've been um... busy.
First was the absolute panic of packing for Infest, which is an utterly ridiculous festival for utterly ridiculous people - Cybergoths. It's the highlight of my year, every year, but packing for it is a bit of a bitch. It's a chance for us all to get dressed up, meet old friends and dance to pounding music. This means choosing outfits for all three nights and lounge wear for getting drunk during the day. I can pack for a week in the USA in a medium case. I need a large case and 2 bags for 3 days at Infest.
So yeah, packing was a bitch, but the festival was so much fun that I didn't sleep for 57 hours and spent the next 2 days recovering at a friend's house where I've been cat sitting since Tuesday.
Meet Indy.
I've barely been online because she's adolescent and anything that moves (including wires) is a target so I've not used my netbook. I couldn't even write because the click of keys catches her attention and my fingers become the target.
I've discovered that cats, like noble gases, exists in 3 states.

Stealth mode
Attack mode
My legs are shredded.
Oh, and I quit smoking today.
