Er, an update?

[andyhat]

For those few of you I haven't seen recently at Gaylaxicon or Readercon or Trinoc*Con or ladykalana's Scanner Darkly outing or other real-world events, as of five weeks ago I quit my old job and started a new job with Motricity in Durham. So no more travelling elsewhere every week; though that seems likely to result in more travel on the weekends for fun (like the trip to Chicago last weekend or the trip to Anaheim for Worldcon this weekend).

I suppose it's possible I'll even have time to update this thing more frequently now, but then again, I've been home for the last 5 weeks and am just now posting this, so probably not.

Since I no longer have a company-issue laptop, I had to buy myself a new one. I went for a Thinkpad T60p, with built-in Verizon Broadband Access. Now that I've had it for a few weeks, I don't know how I ever lived without it. And with the Anaheim Convention Center's curmudgeonly policies on WiFi, I'm sure it'll be very handy this week, too.

A couple weeks ago, I dropped below 300 lbs. for the first time since around 11th grade, which means I'm down about 90 lbs. and 8" around the waist in the past 12 months. I expect to be continuing my firm adherence to my pizza-four-times-a-week not-really-a-diet for the near future until I reach an as-yet-undetermined target weight.

I got a couple new bookshelves last week. Hooray for more bookshelves! One can never have too many bookshelves.

And I think that's about it for recent news from me.

Does the fact that Worldcon is next weekend mean you'll make it to DCon this year, perchance? I would love to see you there!

It is a testament to the fact that I've seen you altogether too infrequently lately that I hadn't noticed, nor commented upon, your diminished girth. Bravo!

I don't currently have plans to attend DCon (it seemed like two huge cons two weekends in a row would probably be more than I wanted to do). But that doesn't mean I might not change my mind between now and then. I think it was only two weeks before DCon that I decided to go last year, too.

I can understand being wiped after WorldCon. But if you should have the energy left over for DCon, I'd love to see you there! I don't know a whole lot of people who are going and I want to show off my and Afelah's ensembles... which may end up being very sexXxy ;)
