Update the first - holiday season

Right - it's been too long and too busy and I can't really do a good job going back and describing the past month or so, but the longer I leave this the more intimidating it will be and the more I'll procrastinate. I'll break it down a bit, though, and I hope anyone who feels left out or shorted will forgive me.

( Long, long ago... )

Update the second - Gafilk

( More or less coherent con report, though I KNOW it's incomplete! )

Update the third - since then (perhaps TMI?)

( Ha. Ha. Ha. )

So, anyhow, that's what's been happening, and now you know.
