Aug. 28th, 2012 08:53 pmRight. One day of work left before I catch a plane to Atlanta.
I should... *pokes email links* check in sometime tomorrow apparently. My brain is basically pudding. Gah.
I hate these long full days.
At least I'm packed and everything is paid for. Even if I can't figure out what part of one of my shoes is bringing up Blisters while the other is fine and comfortable.

May. 27th, 2012 07:06 pmSo, um, I'm kind of behind on things.
Anyone from Milliways going to D*C and wouldn't mind another wallet to split the cost? (I really should have booked things two months ago, yes.)
EDIT: Hotel booked a half hour walk away from the Con. I have a sofa sleeper, apparently, in addition to the bed. Good to know.

And Now a Musical Interlude
Nov. 22nd, 2011 11:06 pmThis past weekend was the local science fiction convention. On Sunday I was stopping on my way in to run a few errands at a mall downtown. Not the closest place to do it, but on the rail line and all the stops are essentially no distance from each other as far as effort on my part goes.
The rail stop and the mall are connected by tunnel. Which is only sensible given that the temperature was in the neighborhood of -15C (5F for those of you south of the border) BEFORE the windchill came into play. In the tunnel there is a point were things are wider and buskers often set up shop.
Joy of joys, the one present as I passed through was able to carry a tune. Better than that I recognized the song to sing along in my head. Not unusual - my parents gifted me with a solid love of folk music and wide ranging listening habits. Then I recognized what I was subvocalizing along with.
This.
Yeah, I left a couple bucks.

Mar. 7th, 2010 09:56 pmOnce upon a time* I said I'd have photos. I've taken a few since then. so, um, photo dump under the cuts? Click the thumbnails for the full sizes, you know the drill.
( Animethon '09 )
( Pure Spec '09 )
( What happened to the house near to a friend's place or Why you keep the heat on around here. )
The LARP is going well, I think. We may be running towards gonzo-ism, but it'll be a fun fall. Now it's to be early to bed so I can do the usual early Monday meeting.
* August of 2009. Oops?

It's time for the moving pictures
Aug. 9th, 2009 09:26 pmOr rather it was, being as how Animethon 16 has wrapped three hours and change ago.
Got a nice pocket watch, saw some shows I'll no doubt end up torrenting fansubs of for a second look, laughed at the AMVs.
More details and some pictures when I don't feel like I'm going to faceplant into the keyboard.
Woooooooooooooooooooooo! *falls over*

I'm up, I'm up!
Jun. 13th, 2009 02:41 pmAlright. First point - people will tell you things like you can't pay off sleep debt by sleeping late one day a week and that it's not healthy.
I don't care. Sleeping late Saturdays keeps me sane enough to function, so bugger off.
Second point - where can I buy an iPod touch in this town with more than 8GB of memory? Seriously. (What? I'm coming to the whole iPod thing late in the game. I've generally had stereos available to me before now.)
Third point - the house now has four pianos in it. FOUR. The instruments will rise up and kill us all one night.
Fourth point - I might not have had enough sleep yet. (Goes, rereads the point before.) Yeah, probably not enough sleep. Unfortunately, it's a quarter to three in the afternoon, so time to be up anyway.
Fifth point - Will be getting a new desktop real soon now. Hopefully one that works. (Sounds of percussive maintenance from off-screen. Post damn you.)
Sixth point - Deadline for Animethon pre-reg looms quickly. Anyone else planning on attending? Lines! Drop me one.

Re Updated
Oct. 20th, 2008 07:38 pmI said I'd have pictures.
( Look, here there are. )
This replaces a very poor assembly melamine boards.
The unfinished portion is the front of the drawer, the pull is still under construction.
I also went to Pure Spec this past weekend. It was good. I'm short on sleep, and the caffeine is lacking it's regular kick though.

Coming Events for August
Jul. 30th, 2008 09:58 pmComing up quick like a bunny is the local Anime event. Sooo, on the eighth, ninth and tenth of the coming month I'm probably not going to sleep in any way that you might notice.
Nor will I be online, except for half hour chunks when I stumble home for solid food, a shower and anap to restock my caffeine supply.
I have vague plans. I does, I does.
