Back from vacation, finally. Had a relatively good time with the family - I'm less depressed than usual after a visit, and much less than I would have expected after eight days (without internet access) on a boat with the family . (River barge excursions in Cajun country Loozianna are awesome!)
Less depressed than expected is the good news. Bad news, sort of, is that cousin Eric and his wife are coming to visit the relatives I've been staying with, and now I'm moved out of the guest room and into the *Storage Room*. I need to find my own place! Thought I had one before vacation - Central Park North, and just perfect! - but I didn't get it. Back to apartment hunting, which is like another full-time job. I shouldn't whine. I've had a free place to stay for several months, but I feel stressed!
The other bad news is that Ivy's Books/Murder Ink is closing. :( One of the last few small, independent book stores. I got Neil Gaiman's American Gods there a few weeks ago and read it on the boat, and was able to get the last copy of the sequel from Murder Ink's shelves. So sad. Goodbye nice neighborhood book store!

Me too! Atlantis is now my main fandom, and it's so TOP HEAVY with Rock Star writers, that it doesn't bother me much to bow out. It's not like there isn't already plenty of fic out there that's way better than what I could do. I just wish the fic bunnies would go away, if they don't really want to be written. Know what I mean?!
