The following are things which have kept my busy during my month-long vacation from the blogosphere.

  1. I have been working a lot. 40 hours a week easy, often as much as 60 hours a week (EMT shifts are 24 hour shifts).
  2. Consequently, I spend a lot of time on the road.
  3. I have been reading a lot. Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, Frank Herbert and Gail Carson Levine are just a few of the many authors whose works I have been devouring lately.
  4. I have been watching a lot of movies, including, but not limited to: The Namesake, Extraordinary Measures, The Quest for Camelot, Milo and Otis, the Cosby Show, Quantum Leap.
  5. I have gone to the movie quite a lot lately; I saw Tron Legacy, Unstoppable and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
  6. I have been writing more poetry and have been in the mulling-over stage of turning a few of my older, unfinished stories into short, completed, stories.
  7. I have been going out a lot more often with friends.
  8. I have been getting ready to start classes in January.
  9. I was part of an EMS funeral for a coworker of mine who was killed while on duty. That was a solemn experience I was honored to be a part of. . .though I never want to go through that ever again!!
  10. I avidly followed the Sing Off on TV.
