Restrictions: None
No Links
It's been pointed out to me (though I already knew it) that most of my recent blog entries have been, well, links to funny stuff. People like links to funny stuff, but maybe someone's reading this to actually find out what I'm up to.

Thing is, not much has been going on in Waltzland. My wife's away for a few days, leading me to discover that bare skin sticks to my computer chair. My cats are hungry, even after I feed them - which is probably a good thing, as the ant infestation seems to be subsiding due to their diligence. Still, that means I can't train the ants to become my unholy army of the night.

Work is slow, because despite the stock market's optimism, the economy still sucks golf balls through garden hoses. It's been raining a lot around here, which means I haven't heard shit about "drought," "water restrictions," or "hot enough for ya?" First person to mention "drought" to me this summer gets a super-soaker in the face.

[In person, that is. Still, don't tempt me. I know where some of you live.]

My writing has been, well, nonexistent, other than to make snarky comments on internet forums or comment about funny links. And newsletters, which is something, anyway.

I've been going to a local science fiction & fantasy book club for the past few months. We meet once a month to discuss the assigned book, plus whatever other books we've been reading, and to complain about crappy science fiction movies (that is, this year, every one except Watchmen and Star Trek. Shut up, Stik.) I think I'm the only married person there. Surprisingly enough, at the last meeting, women outnumbered men (and we didn't end up discussing Twilight).

Oh, and I went to New York City over the weekend. Somehow never got around to mentioning that. I've been there three times this year, now, so it almost seems routine. Got some good pictures, though.

Which reminds me - I finally broke down (literally broke) and bought a Nikon digital SLR. It fucking ROCKS. Maybe I'll post some pictures here, or at least links. But not in this entry, since I said "no links."

And I can't believe it's freaking AUGUST already. Damn.
