How did it get to be the middle of July?

Still alive. Been puttering through life reasonably contentedly, though mostly disconnected from the world. Life consists of work, the gym, fandom, and occasional forays outside.

I've been avoiding LJ a little bit (okay, a lot) because I was feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff I've missed over the months. I decided that was ridiculous, so I've done some LJ-management on my end, starting with a pretty drastic flist cut. I love all you guys, but it's not like I was reading before (see above). My entries here are 90% public, and since I haven't been posting it's not like you're missing much either.

Anyway, consider this amnesty, too. If you've been thinking about dropping me from your flist and didn't want to deal with the drama, consider it your chance. :)

Last bit of administrative stuff: this is the place to let me know about all the Big Thingsā„¢ in your life that I've missed while hiding under the nearest rock. Anything? Anyone? Bueller?

Quite a bit, really...

- We got the first volume of YAFGC to print and we're selling it now on the website

- I got a fellowship to cover about half of my tuition for the final year of my MA

- Also got my first very own lecture class to teach (not TA) in September

- Bubby's back in the hospital (has been back and forth a few times over the past months, actually) and is scheduled to have her hip surgery re-done on Tuesday because the pin has popped out again

And you can still find me all the usual places if you feel like catching up more fully.

Wow, you HAVE been busy!

Congratulations on YAFGC and the fellowship and TEACHING YOUR OWN CLASS! That rocks!

I'm sorry about your Bubby. Hip surgery sucks, especially if it has to be repeated.
