Still alive!

Yes, I haven't updated in a while. Sorry 'bout that. :-)

Not much is new here. I'm all moved into my new apartment, and starting to decorate and such.

There's been a bit of a payroll fuckup at Google, and I haven't been paid yet. Grr. At least they're trying to pay me, so it's not a repeat of a few years ago. :-)

Bought a video camera — a Panasonic PV-GS65, to be exact. I'd been debating buying one for some time, wondering if I'd actually use it. Fry's in Sunnyvale had this one at a pretty steep discount — to the point that it was probably a pricing error — so I impulse-bought it. So far I'm quite pleased with it, though I don't have much of anything to film. Perhaps I'll sucker some people into working on the video projects I've been throwing around for years.

Jeannette was out this weekend, and came to my semi-housewarming party. I say "semi" because it was five people. I keep assuring myself I'll find more friends here soon, but it's a far cry from the 20-50-strong parties we used to have at the house.

She also taught me some rudimentary ASL, which I've been wanting to learn for some time. Neat language.

That's about it for now.
