Ok, I’ve set up a flickr photostream for my Project365. Doing this might even get me posting at kitsnaps () again, which is nice. I’ll probably only update once a week for a while (maybe for always) since I’ll be largely offline the next few weeks, but that should be okay as long as I remember to take pictures more than once a week. :) Got most of my things to do done. I need to pack, but a reality check says I’m not going to do that until tomorrow.…

Well.

Well. I went forth to buy some summer clothes today, and spent over two hours shopping, which is my personal idea of hell.

I have finished my Subterranean Press short story! Jeez, that was 3K that took. All. Day. Long. But it’s done, and it…didn’t turn out to be at all the kind of story I thought it was going to be.
