I'm still alive, go back to sleep.
I haven't had anything to say here since September, largely because I think about everyone on my friends list here is on my FB friends list, and nearly all of them are more active on Facebook (and so have I). The other part is just not having that much to say at any given moment. There's not a whole lot to say about a lot of the intervening ( Read more... ) -
I survived Dragoncon
Haven't had a lot to say lately. I'm now three months into my job, and it's not really lighting my world on fire, but they give me money and I leave the house every day, so it's a step up ( Read more... ) -
Bah!
It's pretty brutally frustrating to spend four months in Little Rock training to do a job, then get here and find out that (a) the program has been cut by six weeks, so the people starting now will be out in 2 1/2 months and (b) the stuff I did all that training on, I don't get to start doing until I go through training HERE, and right now they ( Read more... ) -

The DC Comics announcements
Obviously, it's too early to say a lot. As such, I'll keep it shortish: I'm not particularly optimistic, given that nearly everything since Infinite Crisis has seemed programmed to annoy me...particularly things helmed by Geoff Johns. And launching 51 new #1s in one month seems like a terrible idea. (Also, not a fan of the costume ( Read more... ) -
Raising the Debt Ceiling
So I put myself about $1750 in hock (sort of; I still have $5,000 in savings but felt it better to finance, which I'll get to below) today, for reasons of both necessity and opportunity.
First, the necessity. When I picked this apartment complex, I got a place with washer/dryer connections even though I didn't expect to need them too soon ( Read more... ) -

Keeping Austin Weird!
Just letting everyone know that, while it took way longer than it ought to've, I'm now safely ensconced in my little apartment in south Austin. Everything's cool so far, we'll see how long that lasts. Updates will probably be forthcoming with more details of the last few weeks.. -
Woohoo!
We got word this morning that we have officially passed all our tests. The remaining 11 class days will be devoted entirely to hands-on casework simulation, paperwork for background checks and the like. That's cool, it essentially means the pressure is off for the rest of the run and I can concentrate on things like making sure I'll have ( Read more... ) -
Dropping CoH again...
Not that it matters much, but I figured it merited an FYI. But for the moment, my sub ends on May 4. I'm playing maybe an hour a month right now, and can't justify the expense as I get ready to set up house in Austin. I suspect that inertia will result in me pretty much always having a sub if I'm not playing another MMO (and right now I'm ( Read more... )
