So I feel like I haven't updated in forever, and perhaps that's because I really haven't. The thing is, so you know, IKEA bookcases are very heavy, and I am very weak and flabby, and I am easily prone to straining muscles that shouldn't be strained. Hence, it is hard to do things like sit at a computer and type. My rather sore wrist (too much mouse time, goddamn it!) isn't helping matters.
But today, I am in NoCal, and it is good to be here. Enjoying the company of my family and all - will be doing much bonding and so forth over the next few days.
However, the drive up was not as fun as it usually is. I was horribly bored and the hours seemed to drag by - not to mention the fact that I managed to run into crazy Sunday traffic. (I have a fervent belief about traffic on Sundays - it shouldn't exist.) Usually I'm all right - today, it just wasn't any good. I don't feel like doing any more driving for a while now.
My brother has a new computer. It is very, VERY pretty. And so fast!
I really must sleep now. I'm less sore today, and tomorrow I'll be even better, undoubtedly, and I'll be posting twelve times a day before you know it!
