I'll get to my BotCon reportage in another few days, but I wanted to post a link to some photos from the workshop. I took my camera on my last day before BotCon and snapped a bunch, and posted a few of them in my photobucket account. You can see the other workshop staff (Kathy, Doug, Jason, Jess, Mary, Andrew (and Tomm, who isn't in any of those ( Read more... )

I went on a date last night. I wasn't sure going into it whether we mutually thought of it as a date or not, but apparently we did. I think it went alright... I definitely would like to go out again. She had a pleasant time, but, maybe no more than that, unfortunately. I couldn't quite tell. We met on the bus and have been talking during our ( Read more... )

Pictures on FlickrThis set is from during the convention itself, starting with the Wednesday night "preview night" which only preregistrants were allowed to be there for. There are pictures from the convention floor and from panels, and there is commentary in there with the pictures as in my previous entry. Here is some expansion on the " ( Read more... )

ComicCon was totally sweet. I'm now sitting in a Syracuse U computer lab, in between sessions at the AAPT conference. I think I'll be getting home sometime late on Thursday night? The members of my group rented a van, so we're driving back starting late morning or early afternoon on that day ( Read more... )

I've really enjoyed the US version of "The Office" since David and I started watching it last season. I've seen a couple episodes of the original British version, but they have pretty different feels, and I like the US version better. The moments on the show that I've liked the most have been related to Jim being completely in unrequited love for ( Read more... )

I finally uploaded two new userpics, since they upped the limit to six on free accounts... One of them, I realized, I'd made a long time ago but didn't upload it because at the time I was only allowed three. The other I made from scans out of The Art of My Neighbor Totoro, which my mom got me for Christmas ( Read more... )

Although I had mentioned twice that I met a new friend through OK Cupid, I have not yet mentioned a second young lady. I was waiting until I had a better idea of where it was going, I guess, before bringing it up. But, yeah, I've been dating somebody. I don't really want to go into it in any detail in an open format like this. Her name is ( Read more... )
