Why yes, I AM still alive!

Just been too occupied to actually sit down and update this thing, that's all.

Moved into the new place... I'm sleeping in the living room again, as I stated, though it's nice and roomy this time. Also the floors are hardwood, which means my desk chair can roll to any point in the room MWAHAHA! ...ahem. Anyway, everything's finally in place, save for my books, which are stacked on the bookshelf in no order whatsoever, waiting to get organized. Not a priority at the moment.

When it seemed all hope had faded, SILWest went ahead anyway. We had a brief scare that not enough people were going to sign up, but we're now go, complete with casting for all who have sent in apps. Glad to hear it, as I'd already asked for my birthday present to be a flight home for the weekend, which was reserved almost a month before. Could have been embarrassing if the event got canceled... O_o

I have nothing else to say for the moment, other than that I find this quite amusing. Two Towers spoilers within.

Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow...

In Tsuru it's probably snowing regularly by now. Up in NorCal it's likely quite nippy, like it was last week. Here in Irvine, it's still short-sleeve weather.

Not that I'm complaining. But Mother Nature apparently decided we need some other evidence that it's winter. Hence the massive wind we've been getting over the past couple days. An entire TREE at the south entrance to the townhouse lot went down last night. Uprooted. Yikes. I think I'll stay out of the park this week.
