Oh, and I met darth_kittius today for lunch. She is very nice, and I wish I lived up here so I could keep in touch with the many many DC/Virginia/Maryland folks I don't see nearly enough of.

Had a great 3-hour chat at Starbucks with a new friend last night. It's always great to find someone new in Baton Rouge that I have a lot in common with. There aren't that many of us around here.

I will be in Seattle from *very* late Friday until Tuesday morning. Friday and Tuesday are travel days, so they're out. Saturday morning is registration for the conference followed by a committee meeting until 12:30, after that I'm free. I'm free all day Sunday. Monday I have a committee meeting from 8am to 10am, and then I'm free for the rest ( Read more... )

This means that I have now watched all of the first season of Jeeves and Wooster (must put second season on my Netflix list) and also have two new shows to add to the TiVo schedule -- Scrubs and Eureka ( Read more... )

*snuggled with shadesong and harkalark

It was a good weekend.

Ok, so thanks to shadesong alerting me to the ultra-cheap airfare between New Orleans and Atlanta I am now going on an impromptu vacation. I leave on the evening of the 16th and return on the 26th. That means that all the stuff at work that I thought I had 2 1/2 weeks to finish before the end of the month, I now only have a week to finish ( Read more... )
