Oi. It took some doing, but after three weeks of computer deadness, we finally got my computer up and running again, so my usual (in)activity will resume shortly. Yay

On a slightly more somber note, though, not everything is peachy around here. I was just informed yesterday that my grandfather has taken a turn for the worse. We have reason to believe that he has some sort of disease that has actually attacked his immune system. He can't move well, or even speak. He's in the hospital right now, and is awaiting treatment. Earlier this month, his house also burned to the ground, and for a while, we had reasons to believe he also had a stroke. Needless to say, he's got things pretty bad right now, and it sucks that there's nothing I can do about it from here. He's getting pretty old, though, and I'm kinda starting to wonder how much longer he'll last...

But, this is a trial every family has to face, so I won't whine on here any longer.

In lighter news, I'm getting along okay in the new room, after being booted out of my old one. Everyone around here seem like good people. Sucks not having many of the old guys around, though. I've been keeping in touch with one of them who had to leave for Georgia as best as I can, but it's still a bit of a bummer not being able to see many of my old friends face to face as often as I did before. But I'm meeting new people, and things are going along okay.

I'm going to try and draw more. I'm among friends who tend to put me in the drawing mood. As a result, you might see more sketches then before.

All in all, I've felt better, but I've felt much worse.

EDIT: Oh yeah. I almost forgot. My twenty first solar rotation is on the 25th. Hooray for finally reaching legal drinking age. It's all downhill from here.
