What, like you never drop off the face of the planet for months at a time?
Here are some things that have happened lately, in no particular order:
Sam the cat was deathly ill for two weeks. He is currently recovering, eating lots to put weight back on and being affectionate. SXSW happened, and I avoided it except for the always-awesome nerdcore showcase and a Swedish swing/hip-hop band‘s performance in a pizza parlor’s parking lot. I started knitting lace for reals. I also joined a mystery shawl knitalong and a pattern collection based on Lord of the Rings. I have been watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand every week and enjoying it immensely. I didn’t quite manage to finish Killer 7 before FFXIII came out, so it’s just going to have to wait. I went to (part of) a dance workshop weekend. I will also be doing a dance routine for a showcase in June and am somewhat terrified.
Posting will hopefully commence at a more normal rate.

In a fight between a vampire and a minotaur, the vampire will win.
Portals don’t give you a convenient shortcut from place to place like you may think. Instead, they are a gateway beyond the edge of madness that bring aliens, flan, and other various horrible creatures to our dimension to feast on your flesh.
If a kitty is stuck in a tree you only need a fireman to show up. The cat will vacate the tree on its own as soon as the fireman is on site.

The Bluray RW drive we got for the media center PC.
That Planet Replay has Bluray movies for $12 for aforementioned Bluray player.
This wireless PS2 controller by Logitech. My old corded ones were starting to act a little weird, and we just happened to see this one at Fry’s while browsing. It feels more like the 360 controllers which I find more comfortable than the old PS2 ones anyway. Plus: wireless is always better.
Scribblenauts.
The new-to-me boots I got off eBay for $40. THEY HAVE A DETACHABLE POCKET ON THE SIDE. Now I don’t have to carry a purse when I go dancing! Haven’t worn them around yet, but I suspect they will be easier on my legs than my existing boots (which always gave me blisters just below my shins because the leather was so stiff).
Dogfish Head Punk, a pumpkin beer which does not taste gross, and Terra Andina Carmenere, both of which deserve a post on the long-neglected Two Nerd Party.
The fact that there is a new Alice In Chains album.
