Fresh Fish Served Daily

I admit, I think that lists are a lazy way to make a post, but lazy is appealing to me right now. Here are some things that I have been doing lately:

- Taking some new dance classes
- Signed up for Hot Rhythm Holiday
- Knitted a little on my beautiful but interminable Evenstar shawl
- Upped my drinking to prepare my liver for Dragoncon
- Started biking to and from work three times a week

I am currently freaking out that I leave for Dragoncon this weekend. I really wish it was Saturday.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I've been doing pretty well, just haven't felt like writing much. Hopefully you'll be seeing more of me again soon.

My poor Sammy relapsed with a terrible fever again this past weekend, and rather than make him suffer through who knows how many more hospitalizations we put him to sleep yesterday.

I already miss him.

What, like you never drop off the face of the planet for months at a time?

Here are some things that have happened lately, in no particular order:

Sam the cat was deathly ill for two weeks. He is currently recovering, eating lots to put weight back on and being affectionate. SXSW happened, and I avoided it except for the always-awesome nerdcore showcase and a Swedish swing/hip-hop band's performance in a pizza parlor's parking lot. I started knitting lace for reals. I also joined a mystery shawl knitalong and a pattern collection based on Lord of the Rings. I have been watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand every week and enjoying it immensely. I didn't quite manage to finish Killer 7 before FFXIII came out, so it's just going to have to wait. I went to (part of) a dance workshop weekend. I will also be doing a dance routine for a showcase in June and am somewhat terrified.

Posting will hopefully commence at a more normal rate.

You are just so, so over the top. I don't even care that half of your stuff doesn't make any sense. Don't ever change.

In a fight between a vampire and a minotaur, the vampire will win.

Portals don't give you a convenient shortcut from place to place like you may think. Instead, they are a gateway beyond the edge of madness that bring aliens, flan, and other various horrible creatures to our dimension to feast on your flesh.

If a kitty is stuck in a tree you only need a fireman to show up. The cat will vacate the tree on its own as soon as the fireman is on site.
