Falling behind

I'm getting to the point where just keeping up is beyond my dwindling capacities. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect I'm not going to like it when I find out.
Anyway, I apologize for having been such a lousy correspondent this year.

Having gone wandering off somewhere

Of late, I seem to have been overtaken by events: my health has taken a turn for the worst, I wrecked my car, and the guy they hired to help me out at work has moved away. (Another guy has drawn the short straw.) I'm still alive, but it's not something I much feel like bragging about.

A night at the beer garden

I mean, I'm not allowed beer anymore, at least not until I get off some of these damnable medications, but our little table had massive fun discussing Jenga, photography, classic and modern weaponry, beer (of course) -- and ponies. Apparently they'd read my stuff. Who knew?

If anyone was still wondering · 12:50am Jul 31st, 2012

I have finished, or at least quit typing for the moment, my first-ever fic. I need to give it a once-over before it's ready for everyone's thumbs, so you probably won't see it until this weekend.

(Force of habit led me to type "everypony's thumbs," which makes no sense, since ponies generally don't have thumbs, except maybe for Lyra, and she's not in this one.)

Oh, and "self-insert" has some unfortunate connotations, doesn't it?
