Should have done this a week ago...

cause I'm still busy, but not stressed anymore. Yay! Handed in the Paper From Hell, so no pollen analysis for me anymore! And did it ever feel good to return those books to the library, hopefully never to be seen again... Got a few other things sorted out, as well, and my To Do List is now, for the first time in as much as 15 months or so, of manageable dimensions. I feel good. My life's still not completely under control, but the degree of chaos present at the moment I can live with, just about.

Bigger update to come, but first I have to check everybody's LJ's! I've been out of the loop so long it's probably not feasible to *really* catch up with everybody's lives since I left LJ-land many months ago, but I'll try at least to browse the last couple of months...

Random list for November 20, 2005:

Anyone have a few lifetimes to spare? *g*

Hey. I know most of you probably aren't reading this anymore, but I love you guys. I'm sorry I've been absent. I've missed you.

See you around.

Reading Rec:

Finder is now available as a webcomic. The updating schedule is Tuesdays and Fridays, and so far Carla Speed McNeil has been very good at updating on time. There's ten pages now, and the three older issues that have been available for some time, so you should be able to get a fair taste of the comic. It's a bit difficult to get into as it's a complex world and very little is explained immediately, but part of the fun is entering the world of Finder with little to no foreknowledge and trying to figure out how it works. It's a bit like being a tourist in a really strange culture. And Jaeger's a great protagonist.

Older issues of the comic will be posted to the website sometime, but I don't know when. I'll probably make a post about it when it happens, though. Anyway. Check out this comic.
