Hello, from Oblivion

This is my longest gap in posting, ever. What can I say? Here are some thoughts:

• I’m still writing.
• I’m still reading. Just not as much fiction.
• I’m not watching many movies these days.
• My job sucks brainpower out of my head, leaving me a husk at the end of the day, and throughout most weekends.
• I still like my job.
• I just had a root canal. My tooth is dead now.
• I need a root filling on my dead tooth.
• I need a crown on my dead tooth.
• My dead tooth is going to cost me about a thousand dollars.
• I still have my Jeep.
• It’s almost paid off.
• Once again, my website domain renewed before I had a chance to switch it over to my host. Not a big deal, but something I’ve been meaning to do for two years or so.
• My website is languishing.
• My social media presence is languishing.
• My dog is healthy.
• My humans are healthy.
• This is the most hectic summer I have had in forever.
• I am still playing my violin.
• However, I have been unable to play my violin due to jaw swelling issues from aforementioned dead tooth.
• However however, I am going to try tonight for the first time in two weeks, or else my hard-one fingertip calluses will fall off.
• I have been playing Skyrim again.
• My playing of Skyrim has been giving my aforementioned sapped brain a break, and helped me take my mind off my aforementioned dead tooth.
• My dead tooth hurt like hell before my aforementioned root canal.
• The aforementioned root canal was both terrifying and fascinating at the same time.
• I hate dental dams.
• I hate that I know now what a dental dam is.
• That dental dam made my root canal possible.
• The root canal procedure had about a thousand terrifying steps, I think.
• I re-read The Martian. Awesome book. Did I ever review it? I don’t think I did. Get it. It’s good.
• ^^^ shortest book review ever ^^^

I guess I’m done. Hope everyone is having some fun this summer!
