Autumn update

I may or may not have forgotten that I have a blog. :P But here we are again, and the past is a sunk cost, and with some luck I’ll post a little more frequently from now on.

Anyway, wedding plans are going as well as can be expected. We’ve almost got the announcements done and ready to go to the printer (yes, we’re designing them ourselves, of course :)), and we signed on a nice apartment last week. Or maybe it was two weeks ago. Time is seriously one big blur these days — it’s hard to believe that we’ve been engaged for almost a month. Crazy. And lovely. Meridith is da bomb.

In other news, I’m working on a full-length play for the BYU WDA class (the play is a fantasy, currently called Gridlock but soon to be renamed), slowly working on my Tanglewood novel, and aiming to get two issues of Mormon Artist out this month (the special issue and Issue 7).

Speaking of Mormon Artist, we got a brief mention in TIME Magazine two days ago in an article on MagCloud. That was cool. :)

And wrapping up this random post, I got my Google Wave invite last night and have been playing around with it, because of course I’m a gadget geek and this is the kind of thing we thrive on. Conclusion? It’s too early to draw a conclusion, especially since only five of my contacts are on Wave right now. But it seems cool and has a lot of potential. I’m not sure if it’ll replace email or IM for me yet, but we’ll see.

Congrats on all the cool things in your life. It’s been fun following your adventure.

Ummm, if you have a spare Google Wave invite…I’d be happy to help you test it out. I thought I signed up fairly early for it, but didn’t get an invite.

Remember how MA was an awesome idea? Still is.

Jason: I ran out of invites even before I posted this. Sorry! Hopefully you’ve found someone else with extra invites…

Annie: Yes, yes, yes, I know. :) I’m planning to ramp it up soon; I just had to get some other projects out of the way.
