Ramblings, writings, whatevers

Holy mother of God! Where did summer go? I swear it was June last week. Oh well. It has been a really long time since I updated last, so here's a real quick overview.

Job: Like it, settling in nicely and my boss just loves me. Yay! I've been given three big projects, one is completely finished, one is at a standstill until my boss finishes her part of the new software and the other is about halfway done.

Home: New place is great, although I lost power this morning and couldn't open the fuse box. Good news though, the whole building went out, so it didn't matter that I couldn't open the fuse box. Had to shower in the dark, but I had hot water.

KP: He's going great and now has THREE days off vs. only one like last year, so woot! However, I think he's bored, so I'm trying to think of a hobby he can do at night. Apparently, brewing beer isn't enough. (I bought him a home brewing kit for Christmas, which he still hasn't used...grrr).

RPG: All games are doing great and I'll do some pimping soon. We've had some big threads in post_bellum which have been sweet. I have all 14 of my characters active 3 to 4 threads a month, plus do_bad_things should be starting soon, I'm playing Sookie. Fun fun

NaNo: Did some plotting for NaNo this year. I'm writing the sequel to my 2007 NaNo entitled Buts Words can Never Die, which is a young adult Nancy Drew Style mystery. I'm hoping to publish it someday and have a few friends reading the 3rd draft of it as we speak. The new NaNo takes place over the summer and will be call Camp Dead End and will involve smuggling...I'm thinking drugs, but I'm not sure. I do know there will be camp rivalry, kidnapping and good looking lifeguards. The main character is only 15.

Weight: Down 13...want to drop 7 more before end of year which is part of my 101

Rhodora We are producing Agnes of God in the fall. Auditions soon...need to find space and confirm with director his schedule. I may just pick dates without him just to get things moving. I'm working on this over the weekend.

Future: I've talked with a few friends and done basic (I mean, I've look online at two schools) about grad school for creative writing. My facebook wife, Connie, is in a graduate program at John Hopkins and it's only 9 course, including thesis and she should have it complete next summer. So, I've been saving and thinking about applying or looking into the GREs. This morning I came across an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education which is a university industry paper that my company subscribes to. I thought it was really interesting and I've decided to share it. It's under the cut bc it's long and I blatantly stole it bc I'm not sure how to share it without making anyone interested in reading, sign up for a subscription. It's good and I suggest you read it.

Anyways, that's my life up until now. I'll try to update more often.

Kisses!

So I'm doing some pimping each game I play in. Yes, I play in a lot of places and have too many characters. In alphabetically order.

Hey all

Just a quick update on my life, which is incrediably busy now.

I have a new temp job...wich is nice

Also, i changed my layout a little while ago if you all want to let me know what you think.

KP is good...i feel like I hardly see him these days

RPing is...well it owns me.

That's all.

So as part of my 101 I promised to update my personal LJ once a week, but I missed last week because I was away in Ohio...taking KP to meet my grandparents. So I'm back now and happy that it is in the 20s here. Why the 20s? Well, the high the entire week we were there was 17 and that was the first day we were there. It snowed the next few days straight...about 6 to 9 inches and the windchill kicked up making it feel like negative numbers. Except on Friday when it actually was negative 8. That's right 8 below zero with a windchill making it feel like negative 30.

I've never been in such cold weather. Sure, I've seen 0, but negative? No way. So that's why I'm happy with low 20s.

Anywho, I'm back and catching up on post_bellum and oneav as well as some extra work...it's taking me a long time because I don't feel like working on it...bad me.
