This is not to say I'm not enjoying myself. I'm actually managing to have a relatively good time, save for the occasional problem with my family. It's simply that I find myself intimidated by Americans. I find myself almost painfully uncomfortable with how...rushed everything feels here. And how distant the people are. They just walk right through ( Read more... )

No time. Must drink pint of vodka before bed. Must rest feet. Cannot think ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of the convention, unfortunately, and Helaine and I slept in a bit. Not a huge loss, but still, not part of the plan ( Read more... )

Where to start? Once I got my internet back up and running -- I had a few little problems last night before bed -- I hopped on first thing to get back to a handful of emails I'd meant to respond to earlier. Mostly from family, but that's another story. Helaine and I spent the morning comfortably, dressing and eating left over breakfast from the day ( Read more... )

To hell with work. None of you care what we did on Thursday. Though Doug did repair the carpentry shop bike, and I did ride it in circles around the shop for half an hour, hauling various other summer student co-workers in the toolbox on the back, but! That's not important.

Because I've been too lazy to actually update here. Mostly because nothing has been worth talking about. Not even my weekend. it's kind of sad. But, then, I've been working on my fanfics on my main account, sooo...I guess there's that.

Well...only two strangers, but still. I figure today's worth talking about for a day off ( Read more... )

This is going to be a pretty long post, so for anyone who doesn't care about a slack work day, a botched coffee outing, and Persona 4, you don't have to bother with this. For those of you who only want to hear about one part, I'm breaking it up into sections, so you can skip around the stuff you're not interested in. Aren't I thoughtful? As I've no ( Read more... )

Because I didn't get onto my computer until late last night, and I didn't feel like talking about work then. I'll cover that and Canada Day here. Because I can.

So work...Again, Helaine and I had nothing to do. We weren't supposed to have finished that rope job in one day, and because we had, we were in charge of finding something to do. We opted ( Read more... )

Ok. So for the past...four days now, I've meant to post here. But there's been nothing on any particular day worth talking about. Given, this was another four day weekend for me -- they changed me from Mon-Thurs to Tues-Fri -- but it was a pretty uneventful one. Let me recap ( Read more... )
