While I've been offline:

- Went on a couple of dates with a nice young man we'll call Tango, and made tentative plans for a third

- Almost got mugged by three teenaged thugs

- Decided never to go out again on a Thursday night due to the triple threat of Four Kings, My Name is Earl and The Office. I'm not sure if I actually like the former, or if I'm being guided by my unconditional love for (and further marital aspirations involving) Seth Green. And the latter still pales in comparison to the British version, but it's becoming its own show now and I dig it. As for Earl, I'm ignoring the Scientology and Pilot Inspektor naming.

- Got called "adorable" by a man with a kilt and a wee sword and no discernible accent

- Had some job interviews, and lined up some more job interviews and a freelance gig

- Read an embarrassing amount of Chick Lit (I am Jennifer Weiner's bitch)

- Started watching the first season of Firefly on DVD. Joss, I'm sorry I didn't watch it when it was on. I was still getting over Buffy, and I was afraid to love again. Forgive me. It's brilliant.

Anyway bitches, I'm back with a vengeance. I hope y'all are ready.
