It's been awfuly quiet in Livejournalland from here. Mainly because I've gotten Twitter and Facebook, and I've settled on a kind of "content" for them.
Where Livejournal used to have all my thoughts all the time, Twitter is now taking the quick-thoughts and quick-notes of things that are fleeting in and out of my head all day or little mini-fast-blast-replies and whatnot.
Facebook has becomre more of an appointment calendar, or I will be here, or just left here, kinda updates.
Livejournal has pretty much been relegated to "Big Thoughts" and in the last few weeks I just simply haven't had the time for Big Thoughts. I also post things here I can't post anywhere else.
There hasn't been much going on recently, other than work and home. Emily has been visiting this last week, though. It's been a lot of fun, even though we're quite literally dirt poor. We're hopign to hit some of the more free things I've found the last few weeks on my trip. Kuboya Gardens and the greenhouse up near Volunteer Park. Maybe Jimi Hendrix's grave or Bruce Lee's.
Frankly, we could spend the whole weekend curled up in bed with her and it would be a good weekend.
I'm slowly acclimating to Seattle. Sometimes I get into a mindset that I'm still in Austin, and that I could run off to see friends. IT's always a little disheartening hen I realize I'm not.
It looks like our vacation this year (should I be able to get one) will be to State College, instead of Texas. There's no Trinoc this year (NJo Trinoc Ever Again, it seems) so my mid-summer is open again. It'd be nice to show Emily my old hometown.
So, that's really it. I haven't been very exciting recently. Work sucks out my will to be creative, buthaving Emily here makes it all better.
How's you?

Date: 2009-04-09 04:17 am (UTC)Got to admit that facebook seems more frivolous to me than LJ, which is why I end up playing Scrabble and taking quizes on it. LJ is more for particular things nowadays and I've cut down on the amount of personal stuff I've been posting here.
Whereas something like Second Life - mostly when I logon I never seem to catch anyone I've befriended in-world anymore, so I've been mostly doing a web comic (http://stuffhappens.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=103) with it.

Date: 2009-04-09 10:29 pm (UTC)There are two comic shows in your area that may be right up your alley:
1. The Emerald City ComiCon ( http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/ ), which is held every April in Seattle -- by the looks of it, it's the biggest show in the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, they had it last weekend (4/4-5), but there's always next year (if you're still there).
2. The Stumptown Comics Fest ( http://www.stumptowncomics.com/ ), held also every April in Portland -- smaller than the Seattle show, but also drawa alot of fans and pros. It's next weekend (4/17-19), so if you are able, check it out. (Personally, I would like to go there next year -- I'll be in Quebec City and Montreal on vacation, beginning Sunday.)
