The briefest of brief updates: Yes, I am still alive and no, I haven't been trapped under something heavy.

I'm happily getting acclimated to living by myself and ElmCityDrunk & RxQueen still provide to be amazing neighbors. Phase Two involving networking our apartments together for multiply-massive music sharing should take place soon!

Rollerderby referee life is absolutely amazing! The league has made huge leaps in improvement and gearing up towards our first intra-league bout in December. To summarize in a few short words: I can now skate backwards!

With the season change, I'm trying to haul my camera around with me far more than previously. I signed up for a Flickr Pro account for my birthday and I see the upload cap of 2 gb's a month as a double dog dare. Lately my outings have been armed with home-made stereographic cameras...

Perhaps lastly, my friends list, I've missed you... Break-ups, bills, work, play, family moving to other states and making new friends are important priorities and I hope to include you on the list, as well.

So it seems that a likely $15 parking ticket I'd not known about has come back to haunt me... I went to switch insurance carriers and the process stalled due to Geico reporting that my license has been suspended! I faked being sick in order to stay at home and resign myself to the whims of the CT DMV automated call center.

The good news lists as: With a quick check cut for $125 and 7-10 days of waiting, it'll be reinstated. The bad news is: My job kinda depends on driving...not only that but driving others around in my car, to some extent. Yes, yes...I should be happy that I wasn't pulled over, wasn't made an example of having an additional year of taking the bus. It just a little demoralizing.

Thinking of far happier things, setting up this account allows me to feel somewhat accomplished in doing something today. I might cross-reference this page between my Flickr account and see what geekiness unfolds.
