O hai!

I’m not dead, just busy and without a whole lot going on that I feel like talking about publicly.

I went to the Romantic Times convention in Pittsburgh which was a lot of fun.  It was crazy, weird, and even though I hate flying I”m seriously considering getting on one so I can go to the convention next year (it’s in Orlando).  I’ve also updated my list of books I’ve reviewed–with links to the actual reviews on RT’s website.

I bought a second spinning wheel and have been working a fair amount on that.  I’ve done a lot of reading.  I bought a new computer–or, rather, I bought all the components for a computer and a friend assembled them into a computer for me.  It is the most awesome computer that I’ve ever owned.

Consequently, I’ve been playing a lot of videogames.  It’s so nice to be able to play World of Warcraft on a computer that gets more than 5 fps in highly congested zones–it’s like a completely different game.  I’ve also been playing Hellgate: London which, despite being a bit flawed, is still a hell of a lot of fun.  I’m really looking forward to Spore in a couple of months and I am really geeked at the announcement that there’s going to be a Diablo III.

Life in general continues to be fantastic and I love the whole world.  Or at least most of it.
