I've more or less decided that I'm going to go back to college and actually finish some shit this time, shooting for a law graduate degree by way of a biomedical undergrad program firstwise. In the meantime I've come to more or less accidentally own a coffee shop pretty close to one of the universities I work at (though running a mom+pop sized store 25 miles away from home is...undesirably resource-inefficient), and I now live with my romantic partner and have effectively inherited her now-13-years-old daughter, and their two housecats.
I also RP a bunch, tabletop style, playing in a D&D4e game and GMing a PARANOIA game (which has delightfully twisted and warped my ideas about roleplaying games in general).
I've moved offices twice since last you were here, and I'm my old job's boss (and BW is my old job). Making way better money than before, but now I'm supporting three times as many people, so take that as you will.
All in all, I'm not doing too badly. Wish I had more time and money, but I've had worse.
edit: Dammit, undermined by a response before I could catch up with my non-answer to the question! CURSE YOU
"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
