Man, I have gotten really bad about updating. Need to post more often. Let's see-- since last I posted, we competed in the San Diego Rocket Race, which is best described as "sort of like The Amazing Race, but with more puzzles and sci-fi trivia." I didn't compete last year (I was with wendyhouse in Michigan), but one of sirrogue's teammates had to drop out, so I joined their team. We did not defend our championship, but we did manage a respectable second place, which was a nice surprise since a huge mistake on my part had us about fifth or sixth back after the midpoint. And then we were all very sore for about a week afterward. Owwwww, running.

We spent Thanksgiving with the in-laws, but in Vegas instead of NorCal. It was actually really awesome and relaxing. We stayed with sirrogue's aunt and uncle, and his mom and stepdad were in a nearby timeshare. We ate a lot (chocolate cake omg) and watched massive amounts of college football. Pretty much the only sources of stress the whole weekend were the drives there and back.

And on a (semi)fictional note, does anyone else think that the current WGA strike would've been an amazing plotline for Studio 60? I mean, you've got both sides represented in the major characters, and they could have scenes on the picket lines with tons of cameos from Hollywood types, and it would be *awesome.* And it makes me sad that we'll never see it. Poor, dead, not-always-very-good Studio 60. I miss you!

ETA: OOOH I found fic YAY!
