Things of a happy sort
1) I went up to Baltimore yesterday for a space shindig. :D NASA + other space sciency folks were celebrating 50 years of Maryland's "Place in Space", since a lot of the companies involved in space exploration and technology are based in Maryland. There were booths and speakers and robots (and supposedly WALL-E, though I sadly did not see him) and space geeks galore. And they had goodies, too, so now I have some pretty Hubble litho prints and two posters (a pretty Earth Day one and a Hubble Service Mission 4 one with the space shuttle and Hubble). Of the speakers, there was Ricky Arnold, who spoke about his time on the ISS (I have such a massive crush on the ISS♥), and two Tuskegee Airmen, and then there was a mini-documentary about the history of telescopes (this year being the 400th anniversary of Galileo looking at Jupiter through his telescope). And I also stopped by the Baltimore Harbor, to get a dose of the sea, too.
2) My stepdad is awesome and he is going to buy a new, lighter laptop and send it to me to take to Germany. So that way I can wait to buy my own new laptop until I have more money. (Or, um, any money.) (Hoping, of course, that Lizzie (my current laptop) makes it to the end of the year.) Yay for awesome parents! \o/
3) Podfic! I'm back in action! Sort of. It's a short story (~800 words) and reading that was still making my throat go a bit itchy. But here 'tis:

And I've already got a massively blush-inducing comment on it, for which I blame lavvyan, even though she didn't write it. ♥
Alas, amplificathon is over tomorrow. I had such great plans, but then I got the triple plague. See, I was going to do some podfic gifties for my fans. I'll still try to do them, but now I'm getting busy again, so we'll see.
