Still alive

So I guess it seems like I haven't been around much lately, except actually I have. I've been around -- reading, commenting some, on AIM almost every night -- but I haven't felt motivated to post. It's not for lack of things to say; I have thoughts swirling around on politics, and personal life, and fics, and cute furry animals, and so forth, but finding simultaneous motivation and time to sit down and write stuff out has been difficult lately.

But I am here, even if you don't hear from me much. I promise that. And I'll get some of this stuff out of my head and onto the keyboard soon enough.

I will leave you with two recommendations: one book (Old Man's War by John Scalzi) and one video (An Engineer's Guide to Cats).
