Bi-Annual Check-In Thread

[filkertom]

It occurs to me that there are a number of people I haven't seen posting or commenting in months (e.g., jblaque. Everybody okay out there? Check in and say Hi. We worry.

Good idea.

I'm around, but was pretty busy yesterday. I moved! I'm out of my leaky shoebox.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I think so. So much going on, so many bankrupt pants, and suddenly you ain't heard from somebody in what seems like forever. Lives change suddenly, y'know?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Most frickin' excellent (having lived in leaky shoeboxes before). You, I've heard from recently, but it's always a pleasure. :)

We are hanging in there, getting ready for the fall Jewish holidays, and probably also checking in with people we don't hear from that much.

Still here, still reading, not posting much anywhere. Life has gotten "interesting" since the kidlet is no longer in residential, but living at home with me.
See you at WindyCon?

Checking in from the Big Blue House in Mass. (Current conversion project Musicon 1994.)

My whole flist has been quiet lately, both here and on DW. Not sure what's up.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Windy indeed, with TomBoat II.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I hear from you all the time, silly. :D

Still alive (and the cake is a lie). The head cold is moving/has moved to the chest.

The cake is not a lie...I had it last night during gaming session...it was true and strawberry flavored...

Hi there - checking in!

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

Trying to learn javascript so I can make games my friends and I can play online. Have Euterpe and Thalia tag-teamed you some inspiration for my song yet?

[tantra-cat.livejournal.com]

I yearn for jblaque posts....where the hell is he?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I sent him a PM this morning. It was missing his photo dumps that got me thinking about this.

Fun project

My friend and I are finishing on our latest round of playing Book Fairy. I pick out some kids, coworker's children or neighbors, then send her a budget and a list of the kid's interests. She searches through the bookstore where she works and selects the books. Then she ships them either to me or directly to the children. It's great fun! I'm not likely to fund the wing of a library, but anyone can pick out a few used books for a neighbor kid.

Can't wait for Tomboat II. Have a couple extra bits to makenlife easier this year. :-)

I got a Bernina embroidery machine. I have a scanner.

I'm getting a book on the Bayeaux Tapestry. No good will come of this. Muahahahahahahahaha!

[dornbeast.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind my asking, is your new place just not leaky, or is it also not a shoebox?

[sleepeasyplease.livejournal.com]

I'm new to your awesomeness, but wanted to say hello and thank you for sharing your talents. =) Yesterday was a ROUGH day for me. Your music, one song in particular, is the sweetest, saddest thing I've ever heard. I heard it a long time ago, just didn't know it was you.

Thank you.

I don't post often, but I haven't posted much in the last few months because our apartment complex changed their rules, and they no longer allow large dogs, so we've been hunting frantically for a place that will take a Boxer/Sharpei mix and a German Shephard/Something with a fat head. We finally found a place, and then never heard back from the managers.
And we found out why; they quit without notice, packed up, and left, with all our paperwork in the closet in their office.

I also found out last week that everyone in my group (18 people) is getting laid off as of this Friday.

So, I've been packing, trying to get my new place set up so we can move (finally heard back and started moving yesterday), looking for a new job, and dealing with our freaked out dogs and freaked out cats.

[biomekanic.livejournal.com]

And my TV, that I had on to keep my company while packing whilst the girlfriend is at work, just died.

This year sucks.

[smparadox.livejournal.com]

Well, I've posted recently but I will check in anyway. I'm still kicking, my wife is still laid up but is getting around better with a realignment of her pain meds, and is hopefully finally giving her body the chance to heal. We also have new little ones, she found someone giving away kittens free to a good home, and was planning on taking one but could not bear to separate the siblings so I was met with three kittens after work last week. Now I can't sit down without multiple animals piling up to listen to the ticking of my heart. And the filk CD I am replaying endlessly in my car right now is Tom Smith's Digital Acoustic Compilation.

Thanks for asking. I'm still here. Me and the Moog are planning to be at OVFF next month. Hoping to do a workshop and let people twiddle the knobs.
