Well, I did speak to a lot of good friends (most of who were amazingly good sports about how hyper or unfocussed I was), but for the most part, from my point of view, Windycon looked like this:

( Lots of rambling bullet points, most involving the word 'concert'. )

These are not entirely novel thoughts I am about to express, either for myself or in general, but some analysis crystallized in my head laaaaaaate Sunday night at the con, so I'm 'talking it out' here in the hopes that it's coherent, and that perhaps it will spark other conversation that might lead to further interesting conclusions. I have no idea ( Read more... )

So I went to born_to_me-et-al's house yesterday night. It was a lovely get-together, as satisfying to all concerned as I imagine fratboy keggers are to *their* participants, but nothing like one in detail ( Read more... )

Below you will find a listing of the next month and a half or so of my free time. I would like to, y'know, do socialish things in the evenings (or even afternoons, in the case of weekends). If you live far enough away that you'd like to drive in one day and out the next after crashing in my spare room, well I do happen to HAVE a spare room [1] for ( Read more... )

So today we went to my Grandma's (after me getting home from anach-and-jerusha's place, after he and I attending Sue's Mount Prospect housefilk -- which was yay!), fixed her drawer, watched her eat, measured her windows, and then moved along. I got a bit over an hour of driving logged (23+ hours to date). We stopped off at Yet Another Pet Store (whose motto is ( Read more... )

Man. I mean, uhm, you know that feeling you get on a big family feast-day when you're a kid and you stuff yourself until you feel you're going to burst, for no reason other than that it seemed like a good idea at the time?

Yeah. Like that. Only not gastronomically.

So, here's my post-con inventory for OVFF 2005:

• Sleep far too little.
  
  
• Music lots ( Read more... )

Further in the continuing series of 'man I sometimes say weird things in chats,' here's me on the subject of online social interaction, this morning. There were intervening statements by pelogrande, but they were all short and it's almost more fun as sort of a dadaist monologue.almeda does her daily internet Thing.
almeda says "Time can disappear into it like a ( Read more... )

Aside from standard amounts of grandma-ing, the unexpected parts of this weekend include:

1. A Housefilk in Mount Prospect
Which was fun. I sang a lot, and there was good goulash, and janmagic made little bbq-chicken baked nacho things, which were very good, and John came, which was AMAZING and rare, and seemed to enjoy himself, and ate frozen mini-eclairs ( Read more... )

Because, alas, I have no time to sit and just write the three or four LJ entries inspired by the weekend just now, since Grandma has a doctor's appt today, and another tomorrow (gah). At some point I will write them, I hope. For now, you get bullet points ( Read more... )
