You know it’s never a good sign when you look over the coming month and think, “oh boy, this one’s going to be long.” This is exactly how the coming month is looking to be right now; not that I’m upset, I just know it’s going to be rather crazy.

The first big thing is that I’m moving back downtown. After two years of living in the suburbs and being close to work, I’m returning to Belltown to live and party and do that whole thing. I’m not going to go into all of the reasons, but it just seems like it’s the right thing to do. I never thought I’d move back to Seattle proper, but then again, I never though I’d move back to Seattle at all. So here I am decided it’s time to make a bit of a change in my life.

The other big thing I have staring me down is preparations for Sakura-con 2010. As has been pointed out to me a few times, we’re a month away from con and we have a lot to get done in time for the show. I also have to make sure I’m in shape for the convention, as there is an absolute crap-ton of walking, lifting, and just generally being active that I will do for the con. Unfortunately, this also means that the con will be all encompassing of my life for the next month. It’s really a second job; not to say I don’t love it. It’s just a lot of work.

Of course, I also have my actual job at MS, which is, thankfully, not SUPER hectic, just mostly busy. I’m currently really enjoying my current job, and the situation is an absolute crapton better than it used to be. It’s just that there’s a bunch to get done.

Oh yeah, I haven’t really mentioned what I’m working on now. I”m not going to go into specifics, but it’s a service related to the new release of Windows Phone.

But yeah, March is going to be a fun one. It’s also just going to have a shit ton to accomplish.

Life and Times

So the past few weeks have been super super busy for me. I’m not sure what all it was, exactly, but my life has just become stupid filled since about the second week of January. It’s been so busy, actually, that I haven’t had the time to really clean the house for weeks. (And that’s pretty unusual)
Anyway, a lot has gone on since the start of 2009, and as much as I would love to write individual posts, I just don’t have that in me at the moment. But I figured I’d give a quick rundown on what the hell has been happening.

Firstly, there’s been work. It’s really ramped up and yeah…That’s really it. I’m trying to keep everything balanced in terms of work and life, and I’m doing an ok job at it. Still, I occasionally find myself working late, but nothing too insane.

The next big thing has been class. It’s going ok. It’s hard, but I’m hanging in there. Unfortunately, the homework eats into my life a bit. ::shrugs::

The other big thing that just eats my time is Sakura-con. As you know, I’m an assistant director for the con, and right now, there’s just a shit ton to do. I’m not going to go into specifics because, well, just don’t need to. Needless to say, it’s what I spend my weekends doing. Well, at least the days. I usually get Friday and Saturday night to do whatever. ^_^

So those are the big recurring themes of my of what have me so busy.

There was also a trip to Whistler a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I’ll get around to writing that. But yes, I’m still alive, I just have a lot going on. Alright, time for bed, I need to get up and work out tomorrow.
