Life update, being back on LJ, and caption this picture!

I've started reading LJ a little more in the last week or so. As much as I like Twitter and Facebook, I can't help but feel that those services come off as a little shallow, and lack the depth that LJ has. Then again, LJ just isn't as dynamic as the other two services, so I dunno. At any rate, I intend to start reading LJ regularly again.

Real life has also been interesting lately. In addition to missing FCN due to my knees acting up, I was also unable to attend Anime Central due to a relapse. Thinking it might be something other than "merely" a flareup of chondromalcia, I went back to my physician on Monday. Sure enough, he told me that my one ACL feels looser than the other, which is never a good sign. My next step is to get an MRI and confirm the diagnosis. Once that happens, there may be knee surgery in my future, or not. It depands on how loose/torn the ACL is.

On the good side of things, the X-ray that was taken says my knee joints are fine. I'll take soft tissue injuries over arthritis any day. Also, I'm 6 vacation days ahead of where I would have been otherwise.

Earlier tonight, I tweaked my webserver config so that any attempt to visit http://www.claws-and-paws.com/ now gets redirected to the same URL on http://www.dmuth.org/. I've owned dmuth.org for a few years now, and only recently did I decide that as much as I like claws-and-paws.com, I have more and more trouble saying that domain name with a straight face to co-workers and colleagues. Plus, while CnP has a furry connotation, dmuth.org does not. I can pretty much label it as my home on the web, and put up whatever I want to there.

And finally, a picture to caption:



There are more pictures of those two here.

NOMS!


That pretty well works for caption. That cub is too cute. The picture of it attacking the tail... *DEAD OF CUTE*

Very wise shift, I think; dmuth.org just plain being *shorter*.

I still someday need to shift over from furhoo.com to mongoose.name properly, I think. The former could do better in someone else's hands. IF they wanna buy it. :)

... This is very poor taste and I apologize. :D

Where else would I be? And I'm in IM most nights, even!

Uh, not so much, no. Have you looked at the site? There's a very prominent link in the menu on the left that says "Furry Fandom". That's not going away any time soon.

I've never been a fan of either service. It's not always the case, but in general, if I have something to say it's worth spending more space on than Facebook or Twitter will give it. And they're both abysmal for comments, which are often the most interesting part of a post.
