Ah, this is the life. Went to the Sunset with Olin friends, had some delicious food, a caribe (coffee + coconut rum + creme de cacao), and a black o'lantern (Guinness + pumpkin ale). Good times were had by all. David also brought me some manga back from Japan, and with any luck I'll be able to read it (albeit slowly).
I've been expanding my podcast listening a bit lately. I started listening to
Clonepod (an EscapePod-like sci-fi fantasy podcast run by some kids), and although it's not as polished as EscapePod (perhaps
not a fair comparison). I've also picked up
kmo's
C-Realm Podcast (mostly interesting interviews and thoughtful discussion).
I also took some time this weekend to watch this
lecture by Cory Doctorow and
Obama's acceptance speech (which
even impressed conservatives).
