Just some bullet-pointy rambling.

• Mag7 fandom, I love you so! All the fic and videos that have come across the comms lately have made me ridiculously happy. :)
   
• I've also gone rather goofily happy over Jim & Pam's upcoming wedding on The Office. Which is particularly weird if you consider that I've only seen maybe five complete episodes of that series. Some sort of cultural osmosis, I guess.
   
• I sat down and did my first official recording session for my PodBang audiofic last night. Listened to it on the way to work this morning, and it seemed to come out all right! I've had such a hard time with the Mag7 podfics I've been working on lately that I was afraid doing a longer story for PodBang was going to be a nightmare. Yay! that this is not the case.
   
• I went to a new dentist over the weekend. She was suggesting I get my wisdom teeth out for no real reason except problems that "might" crop up in the future. Their general policy seemed to be "Well, they don't serve any purpose, so you might as well get them out." Which I think was dentist-speak for "Yay! More money for me!"
  
  Next up on my agenda: Elective surgery to get that pesky appendix out... might as well head that sucker off at the pass, too. :P
   
• Almost time for this year's IF Comp. I'm looking forward to it... though I'm a little overbooked for October, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to play too many games.
  
  It's always fun to read the various reviews anyway. One of my dream-projects, if I could ever develop any ability to write fanfic, has always been to create an Interactive Fanfic. Not the traditional puzzles-and-mazes sort, but maybe something along the Photopia model... where interactivity is used to immerse the reader in the story and provide different avenues of exploration, even if each of those avenues ends up in the same place in the end. Could be wicked cool with the right story to tell.
