I'm a little weblog, rarr! (Part the umdiddy-ump)
Uhm, yeah.
The last couple of weeks have been... packed. I suppose that's what happens during the final weeks of the semester's classes, but still, sheesh!
I'm sorry for having dropped out on folks. I know of several friends going through rough patches, and learned of several more when I took time, after my very last class of the semester, to catch up on the various journals and blogs I like reading. Sheesh! again. Would the universe please, please, pretty-please-with-sugar-on-it stop dumping on my friends? Particularly when I'm busy getting my brain sucked out by classes? Kthxbye.
Locally, it's also been "interesting" - I've had something of a front-row seat in watching two local friends of long standing part ways. It's really sad, as they're both people of good will; it's just that they've hit a difference of opinion, hard. One of them is now not likely to be around as much anymore, which I will definitely be the poorer for.
Our own home situation is blessedly peaceful and stable. Mr Sweetie's been especially doting, because I'll be away for the weekend to an aikido event. This is all the more special as he has not one jot of interest in this activity; and yet, whenever I leave for a practice, he wishes me two things - have fun at aikido, and be careful.
I've spent my afternoon somewhat reacquainting myself with the concept of free time. I watched an episode of a fan-subbed anime, something from my youth (misters rdkeir and tandw probably have a good idea which series I'm talking about) - I got them from a classmate nearly a month ago, but now was really the first moment I felt I could just watch.
And.... links, mostly just repeating a few fun ones encountered in my reading: one via twistedchick , about how all those cute cat photos become tools of subversion (Well, not quite, but as a catalyst... er... oh, ouch, never mind me...). And someone writing on LJ about the obesity paradox, as illustrated by her terminally ill cat. Then another LJer with a pithy comment about why calling people, or parties you don't agree with, names is a bad idea.
