Things have been quiet again here on DA ... I've been pretty busy being out and enjoying the summer, spending it in the company of good friends and making new ones.

I've also been working a lot of hours, which has turned out to be a good thing, because my last day of work will be on Sept. 7th. Cutbacks at my employer have lead to the closure of our station (along with ten other cities).

While it sucks to lose the job I've had for almost four years, I'm taking it in stride as an opportunity for greater things. I had been planning on going back to school for the winter semester, but now with the time off between now and then, I'll really be able to focus on getting that done and making it happen.

I have a backlog of photos from summer adventures to go through and submit the more arty ones on here. I also did my first-ever modeling photo shoot with my friend Amber ... the pictures turned out great and the best ones will also show up here in the near future.

In the meantime, however, I've finally succumbed and made myself a Facebook: [link] ... yet another necessary evil for staying in touch with friends scattered halfway across the galaxy (which means if you haven't yet, add me!)

That's pretty much all for now ... keep in touch and stay tuned.
