well well well, there is quite a bit to catch up on the past couple weeks, m-yes? so we've moved last Saturday and am now currently located in the CM part of SoCal. Right near da beach, man! well, more specifically, just a few miles away from the coast. but still! nice cool ocean breezes just in time for the really hot summer months, amirite? X3 still a few more things to get from the ol' apartment and the cleanup to do, but otherwise practically settled in the new place.

the previous week i was suddenly on a trip back home! lots of driving, lots of catching up, still even more to do next time i wander my way back north. but for what little time i had there, i certainly relished as much as i can. thanks to those who made that possible, even though the trip itself was as impromptu as it can get! and an additional thank-you goes out to those who were unfortunate enough to allow an otter to crash at their respective abodes during the trip. all of you rock hardcore. seriously.
