The Big Catch-Up Post! And Ticks!

Wow, has it really been over a month since I last posted? I very much fear so. What with final exams and graduation and going to visit my brother in the House of No Internet and packing up to spend the summer in NYC, May is always crazy for me -- precious little time for fannish fun. For instance, every year I swear I am going to participate in hp_may_madness, and every year I fail to submit so much as a single entry.

But. . .all the grading, ceremony-ing, packing, and traveling has been completed, and now I am lazing about in NYC while Partner is at work. It's very chilly, damp, and cloudy in NY today, which is a-okay by me; it will be a simmering hot hell soon enough.

So what have I been up to? Here's the litany, broken down into easy-to-skip chronological chunks:

( May in Rural Hamlet )

( The House of No Internet and Points Local )

( New York City and Points North )

Now that the holiday weekend is over, I'll draw up a schedule for academic work, and I want to get back to fandom, too. Look for a fannish post soon.
