Dear Blog,

I have neglected you. I have stopped telling you my stories. But it's not because I have stopped doing things. Oh no. I would like to say I am busier than ever, but I still have open spaces for projects, clients and activities. I have been up to a lot of very exciting things.

• Improv Anywhere has it's first LA mtg and mission and I was there! I had a blast and met a lot of new people.
• I've been doing a lot of work on the house. Now that it's stopped raining, I've refreshed the patio, bought some new plants, moved things around and even tried out the fire pit! Whosh - it was a little big - but I didn't catch anything on fire.
• I've been working on the the kind of stuff I love.
• I didn't tell you that I finished the entire Dune series, including the final book (published in 2 books) by his son. The series was great to read.
• After Dune, the boyfriend got me Asimov's Foundation series. So I've been inhaling that one too. I feel like the Foundation is Leto II's Golden Path.
• I'm skipping Fusion this year and focusing on building my own local goal driven mastermind.
• I'm planning some travels to the southwest. Especially excited for the Science of Consciousness conference at the University of Arizona in April.
• Contrary to the lack of coverage on my blog, I have not forgotten about the LA Tech Scene.
• I already did my taxes. It was my first full year working under The Purple Tornado and I did really well, considering I worked about 30% of my potential. (Let me clarify - I did paid work for about 30%. The rest of the stuff I did was community building and my own projects.)

So that is what is going on in my little world.

Not to say you're behind the curve or anything, but I started reading Foundation when I was 8. Started on book 2, but sorted it out eventually. It was the greatest reading experience of my life until I fell prey to Tolkien at 14. Then I became a Dickhead at 15.

Lars - We all come across these things in our own time. :)

I think I was reading Edgar Allen Poe at 9 and was obsessed with Zen, Taoism and metaphysics from 13-now. I still get irritated with the lack of good female characters in early scifi - but maybe I need to read more.

I still consider Dune and Hyperion Series the motherloads.

Seeing how we spent our formative years, how we turned out doesn't seem so unexpected.

*Loved* the first Dune book, but gave up after 1.5 sequel. Haven't even heard of Hyperion before. Maybe my time for that is soon.
