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
