back from (near) death and sxsw

Bet you all thought you'd never hear from me again, huh? I was in my beloved Austin for SXSW Interactive until last Wednesday, and then what felt like the plague attacked me until yesterday. I still have a fever, but you deserve my feverish ramblings. So here's a recap of my past ten days:

• SXSW: I work at an insanely awesome tech place, so I went on the company dime with my super rad coworkers. Learned a lot, did some demos for Microsoft, drank and made friends with the crew from LostZombies.com (more on that last item soon with photos, I promise).
• Down with the sickness: After shoving a giantQ-Tip into my sinus, chest x-rays and blood and urine tests, I officially have a "mega-virus" (direct quote from my doc). The treatment? Rest and fluids. Well worth the insurance co-pay.
• Boys: I totally have a major crush on a guy that I cannot find a major flaw with (and trust me, I hunt flaws like Greg hunts alcoholic hobos). That being a first on its own, I'm also handling the situation with maturity, patience and respect -- another first. But of course, it can't be more than a crush now. You win some, I lose...all of them. Meh.
• Random awesomeness: Point Break, the cover of Vanity Fair, a new (read: not shitty) Twitter pic and going motorcycle riding on Sunday afternoons. Oh, and my KU Jayhawks going to the Sweet 16.
  

I know, my life is super interesting. Do not fret, my loves, more anecdotal insanity will follow now that you're officially caught up.

Loves,

Kt
