Hi folks.. still here, promise. I'm at my mom's house at the moment, and I'm getting a good start to the new decade/year/chapter. There will be a large, relevant update on my return to Chicago! Till then...

Don't mind the mess.. I'm working on the new design and making it live every so often.

Hello everyone, and WOO, I'm back on the air! Huge, warm thanks to Tony for helping me get the site plugged back in the outlet.

I'm now in the process of giving the site a complete graphical facelift and improving the visibility and content of the RSS / Atom feeds. Also, stories and articles in the Transgurl newswire are now being hand-picked by Your Humble Narrator through Google Reader rather than listing an automatic random handful. So yay for progress.

Please return to your seats. The feature will resume very shortly. Please do not smoke in the auditorium.

We apologize for the interruption. The feature will resume in a moment.

Ushers are distributing free ticket vouchers. Thank you for your patience.

Damn. Anyone who read the previous entry knows that that was a real meat-grinder of a week. Most of it, anyhoo.

I've digested the whole assault and evidence situations. Not that I'll ever be "over it" or thrilled about it, but the wound has healed despite the still-aching scar.

In any case, this regained calm and perspective is a lot more conducive to the most wonderful time of the year. And lemme tell ya what's already been said a million times: If there are Powers That Be, they have a brutal sense of humor.

Less than a week after dropping me into an abyss that would make Nietzsche squeal like a 5-year-old girl, and in this lovely economy, they gave Mike another job that pays even more than his previous one. He started this morning after finding out Friday, nearly doubling our income.

This, and the impending lengthy visits with my family (and then Connie) in late January, as well as the prospect of getting my car and bringing it to Chicago, has sent me into what looks very much like an upward spiral.

Suddenly, returning to school in late February and getting the job I'd like doesn't feel quite so far away

Huge thanks to Mike and Melissa, and my friends, family, and readers for supporting me through yet another roller coaster (this one called 2008). Happy holidays. =)
