Hello weekend
Ahhh ... just home from dinner with my mother and uncle (my dad is away at the moment). I left them to watch episodes of no doubt the show I will next get excited about when they are long done with it (yes, they discovered Buffy and had to force feed it to me). And in the lifelong tradition, my mother has started getting into Anime, before me. She is cooler than me. I've accepted it.
This afternoon at work we had a farewell wine and cheese thing for S who is leaving to go home to England. I might have broken my resolve on the whole not making friends at this contract job place. I might have had a sad hug and declared, "not saying goodbye, see you at the xmas do!" I may or may not have sniffed. Damnit but there are so many awesome people out there! Bonded with a few more over drinks.
But I had to go grab my contribution to the spread at lunchtime and at the same time I shopped for the Swancon meeting tomorrow. And I LOVE THE 21ST CENTURY!!! I used the check yourself out facility at the supermarket and LOVED IT! I got so excited - fuck the jetpack, now I no longer have to educate check out kids on what veggies I've bought.
And my latest post over at twelfthplanet discusses book sales at Aussie cons.
