Still alive....

I'm still alive! I've been really bad at remembering to blog lately, but that's mostly because I've been somewhere-beyond-excessively busy. One of our clients decided they wanted their whole website revamped in three weeks (for good pay plus a timely completion bonus), so I've been working stupidly long hours on that. So far, so good - it's AJAX/.NET 2, fast, and largely works. I should be done on time (touch wood). I've also been writing case reports for attorneys/private investigators, which is good money but quite time consuming. I've signed a lease on a new appartment, and will be moving at the end of July. Unfortunately, just as all this money comes in and my credit starts to repair itself... the student loan company in England decide I owe them money. So, it's more poverty for me* while I make monthly payments on that. :-|

Other than busy busy, I've been spending some time with Mel - only an evening or two a week, but that's a lot better than nothing. She took me to see Nickel Creek last night, and while Bluegrass isn't entirely my thing I still had some fun. It was great to listen to a Bach Sonata played solo on an electric mandolin.

* - Livable poverty, at least. I negotiated the payment plan pretty carefully. If a deal I'm working on comes through it's more like the Life of Reilly. :-)

Mood: tired
Music: None right now
