Hey there, all...
Still sick. I feel all right as long as I take it easy, but I'm going to have to go into work this evening to close the store. And it's raining outside, too. Hopefully I won't be too much of a wreck by the time I get off.
I think I should go on another vow of silence. I also think I should stop talking about these things and actually do them. :) I'll work out a plan to see when and how it's doable. Perhaps it would be a good idea to only speak when spoken to, or acknowledged. I might try that during Ramadan. :)

snakeskurt has a really good summary of what Ramadan's about if anyone's interested. I managed to get Kevin into the idea, and we'll be celebrating together. It's a lot easier to have someone even semi-local to practice with you; we'll be reading a passage from the Tao Teh Ching in the morning and discussing it every evening, I think. We won't get through the *whole* thing by the time Ramadan is over, but there's nothing to say we have to stop at the end of Ramadan. :)
After this, I'm going to be pushing myself to write. I started a Boomer Express mini-story recently, and hopefully I'll be able to ship that off to Tyrnn soon and see how he likes it. I'm going to be redoing character bios for Salvation, as well, and once I'm done with that I'll start writing strips for it. Even if it is trapped in stasis at the moment, there's no reason I can't be moving forward on it.
"Grey Warming Over" has stalled again, but that's for no reason than my own sheer laziness. My Mustsy story, "The Last Day of Kerston Miller," is running quite a bit more smoothly, but again, I'm not writing for it nearly as often as I should. Again, I really *need* to push myself.
Kind of smoothed things over with one fellow; he's still not in a very good situation and it's uncertain whether or not he'll be able to pull himself out of it. There's not much I can do anymore, though, other than being supportive. I feel slightly guilty, slightly angry, and a little depressed about it all at once.
Anywho, I really should be writing, so off I go!
