Sorry I'm so quiet

Still playing post-Pennsic catchup. Who knew that getting stuff ready would consume so much time that it would push every other aspect of my life onto the back burner? So here I am, trying to convince those other aspects that yes, I still love them. (Except for the dust bunnies. I don't love them.)

Also, burning out on politics. Must think about bunnies now. Or unicorns.

More later, when I dig out.

Off to Pennsic

Bye, bye, intarwebz! As of tomorrow, I'm off to the Middle Ages for a little over a week.* Miss you! Mwah! Don't do anything I wouldn't do (or if you do, make sure you write a juicy post about it)!

::scurries off to pack more stuff::

*Note to self: some year, go for BOTH weeks.
