…or, at least, in the process of moving. Check out the new blog space. It’s still thoroughly under construction, and I’m working out all the kinks of the new system I’ve set up. I’ve started posting over there, though, and this will be my last post over here. So… update your feeds?
And, as a special bonus, the first PMOGger over there will find a special surprise. (I’m looking at you, Fritz.)

Things I have done in the past two weeks or so:
- Teched, opened, closed, and struck a show.
- Started rehearsal for another show.
- Slept through an exam. (Oops.)
- Had my photographic ego stroked by one Director Shady.
- Written and turned in a really good paper.
- Spent the night in the design area of TI.
- Started the process of installing Leopard on my HP laptop.
It is mostly items 1, 2, and 5 that have kept me so radio silent. I have a paper due Wednesday and a final on Friday and then I will be free, free, free to do whatever I please. Hooray?
I kind of miss New York.
I sure wish it would get warm around here again.

I am in finals week hell.
I will be out of the woods when I finish the paper I am currently working on (ETA: about 5AM), but it is difficult to concentrate when I feel so racked* with guilt for having neglected my blog for so long.
Until I am able to pull myself out of the literary quagmire I find myself floundering in at the moment, any looking for insight from me will have to satisfy themselves with these videos. I am a huge fan of the Mario Kart series, and I can’t wait for the Wii incarnation to come out. Can’t wait, I tell you! It looks awesome.

[update - 5AM: I need an hour's extension on my self-imposed deadline. Just for the record.]

Today, I did the impossible: I had a pleasant DMV experience.

1. Yesterday I topped my all-time high for pageviews: March 5th rang in with 50 in the pot. Sweet!
2. I got out of rehearsal at about 11:45 and it was snowing. So much for my allegations of springtime…

[update: GUYS. I'm not sleeping tonight because I have to play the Hamlet text adventure game. !!!!]

I’m so sick of snow.
When I grow up, I want to live in a place and have a job that both allow me to wear Chacos to work year ’round.
Can’t wear Chacos in the snow.
I wish my feet looked like this right now:
