After Midnight Entry Eleventybillion.... (or just another update)
* Our anniversary was lovely.... both K and I have been so busy lately that staying home, together by ourselves, and doing pretty much nothing was bliss. We're planning something bigger for our first engagement anniversary. Thank you to everyone who wished us well, it really made the day for us both in a number of ways :)
* Work is busy and same/same - still not a project role, that's going to take a long time. Also apparently while we're using the CUA contracts we're supposed to, there may not have been anything resembling application of buying rules.
* Read Book 1 of Jennifer Fallon's Tide Lords series "The Immortal Prince" tore through it much the way I have with the rest of her stuff. Loving it.
* Am now reading "Cybermancy"> by Kelly McCullough - I've been waiting for this second book for ages!! Urban fantasy at it's best, near future, or earth like setting, fate mythology and magic crossed with web and online tech-geekery. Just awesome. I don't have words for how much I love the combination of reference to binary and the fate myths in the same sentence.
* Had coffee today with redbraids and rabbit1080 which was awesome, we talked about art, study and about discoveries and to a small degree, weddings. I have big dilemas that I have no idea how to fix. Logistical/Heart/Reality dilemas. Not that this is a problem for ages.
* Looking forward to my Swancon meeting tomorrow, because I love my committee that much! They are awesome!
* Can't wait for Supanova in Perth. Just. Can't. Wait. Though probably not for any of the reasons that the rest of you may be looking forward to it.
* I'm getting hyped about Swancon! I was afraid it wouldn't happen given all the stuff that's been going on and the sheer amount of work I've been putting in for someone not actually on the 2008 committee, and yet, it's all coming together!! I am looking forward to getting my schedule of panels and stuff as I think that I will be fairly tightly planned social and all this time around!! So much to do, so many people that I've promised time to! I can't wait.
* Transperth dropped the ball as you may have heard, it hasn't affected me drastically, but has been a little bit inconvenient. It did mess things up a lot for madradish and kae_dash however.
* One of my friends outside of the fannish circles in Perth graduated from her course today - I believe it was an additional qualification after her initial degree, but not Masters, she's still planning on that. We share little in common, and yet have a great deal of respect for the different ways in which we move through the world - it's one of the things I find most dear about her, and would that all people passionate in their faith or job, or vocation were like her. My choices are at fundamental odds with the choices she has made - and yet, there is never a time when I feel lesser, unworthy, judged or found wanting by her. I value that so much, and wish more people had it.
* asimmum mentioned me a few times in her Spec Fic carnival which was cool but a little surprising!
* I'm looking into ADSL2 and am dismayed by the cost! I need to get my head around the stuff that doesn't make sense, which will involve a number of painful phonecalls while I explain Stuff and ask Questions.
No, not really a lot going on here... I had a day that was actually a weekend day with little 'work' featured.
