Wow. I can’t believe it has been 12 years since the last time I skied. And I can’t believe that I had forgotten how much I loved it.
Yes, the last time I skied was just after Christmas in 2002, at Winterplace in West Virginia. When I lived in Tennessee, getting up to Winterplace was only about three and a half hours - easily doable for a day trip. But living in Huntsville makes that an almost seven hour drive.
Made some updates to the website today. This website.
Notably, it’s actually a pretty big growth from what I intended just a couple months ago to be just a simple blog. I’ve started adding and fleshing out some more real content:
I’ve been around this fandom a LONG time - nearly twenty years at this point. And I have seen this same thing play out over and over and over again. It will go something like this:

So the latest thing that seems to have swept the fandom is the outrage over the outage of Furaffinity. I posted this to Twitter, but here are a few more thoughts on that:
Sometimes, as I look around, I feel a little bit like I’m living through my own little personal version of the heat death of the universe. Only instead of the universe, it’s my life. Everything is expanding, pulling away and cooling off.
