Well, I'm back, more or less. It's been a busy spring and summer, but September really did me in. If you're at all interested in my job, you can see my work blog, but I'm not going to talk about it here. I probably won't be posting very regularly here either, but so be it.

A couple of new things: Kadanzer Weyr now has a public site; you can now see a fair selection of our art and most of our recent stories without being a member. I've got several new stories of my own up there, too.

Also I just saw Serenity last weekend. Holy crap, that is an amazing movie, but Joss Whedon is a real bastard! ::bites tongue before spoilers fly out:: Last night at some weird hour I got inspired by camwyn's hilarious "The Silmarillion in 1000 Words or Less" and stole the idea for Serenity. I wasn't quite as pithy as Camwyn, so mine is actually 2000 words, and of course, contains just about every possible spoiler. It's up at http://www.swartzer.com/serenity.html. (Don't mind my old-fashioned web design, I haven't had a chance to really do much with my site for a couple of years.)

Feel free to spread this around, but let me know about any changes, remixes, typo fixes, or anything else, please! Leave comments here, too, there's a link from the page leading back here.

Anyway, that's about it for now.
