I checked back on the content import page this morning, and discovered that tags/icon/profile had finally made it through after three days in the verification queue, but the entries had failed? The queue had been cleared out, though, so I quickly tried again, and voilà! tthdrabbles is up!

I'll have to think about when running something would be possible - at this point it might have to be September, given other immediate RL commitments, and the fact that August is already Buffy crossover month. We'll see! I'll try to figure out a poll later on in the summer.

As far as other comms go, I already imported my old personal fic subcommunities years ago when I did my main journal; some of the internal links still need to be updated, but their indexes are all fixed now: lessermensaga, backagainharry, and bookslegacy. I've scoured my pinned fic indexes on my main journal as well to remove any LJ links. That just leaves stargate_xing, I think - but that was more a crossposting platform for Stargate crossovers, not a challenge comm like TtH Drabbles? And no-one's touched it in ages. I might leave that one there.

In less ficcy news, the second vet appointment for my kitten is tomorrow: Parker is now four months old, and has just this week finally found her voice. She used to give a tiny Mew! when I put wet food out for her, but seldom at any other time. She seems to have finally realized that I'll respond when she does it, though, so she now complains when she knocks toys under the furniture, which is fun. I now need to buy a yardstick, as I had not realized how many balls and clothespins and other items she's batted under the stove and refrigerator!

\0/ All my furniture has now been transferred, and I'm unboxing the rest of my stuff a day at a time. Books and electronics are mostly done now (of course), but the kitchen and the closets are mostly put together too; I got the important stuff unpacked first. :)

Cable and internet won't be hooked up until Saturday (I'm posting this from elsewhere), but otherwise, all is going well with my new place, and the worst of the omg-I-have-to-move? RL stress has passed. (Maybe now I will have the energy and brainspace to get a moveon with finishing BAH ...)

( Even the kitty has mostly adjusted... )

So no, I haven't vanished. :) Just busy. Hopefully more soon!

My cat does not know what to make of my birthday balloons. She keeps circling them, sniffing the ribbons, staring up at all the different colors, shying away when they rub against each other. It's kind of entertaining to watch. Not as much as giving her a half-dozen bouncy balls to chase around the house, but still fun. *grin*

So far this year, for my birthday I have been given: various birthday wishes (thank you everyone); one eighteen-ounce (510g) soy candle, scented "Fresh Cut Grass"; two Macy's gift cards; one year's subscription renewal to AAA Plus; a bunch of helium balloons; a cute stuffed monkey; and a Pilates exercise set. All pretty darned practical (though awesome), aside from the monkey and the balloons. I'm counting on my brother for the "entertainment" gift quotient this year, but I don't think he's mailed it yet!

And of course there's also my gift to myself: 25lbs. lost and counting. *sighs happily*

Oh: and Happy Birthday to ignavus, too! You know you'll always be a year older than I am! =)
