It occurred to me this morning that I had been remiss in neglecting to tell you all about KittenCon last weekend. And then [profile] tcgtrf sent me a thank-you e-mail, and I said to myself, "Self," I said, "ya gotta do this more publicly."

So: A big honkin' Thank All Of You So Very Much to [profile] tcgtrf, [profile] barbarakitten_t, [profile] ladycheron, her adorable granddaughter Lily, Anders, Kathy, and the fifteen or twenty other folks who were at KittenCon. It was lovely to Just Hang Out with folks all day, talking about whatever, playing Guitar Hero 5 on the Wii, enjoying fine food (Kathy's pasta sauce, Cheron's garlic bread, and I can't remember his name but dang he makes good waffles were standouts), singing for about two and a half hours Saturday night, Tom read a couple of his stories on Friday, Lily read me some of a book she's enjoying on Saturday, we all sat around being silly on Sunday, just a good ol' time.

I've got great friends. :)

So, friends, what's this weekend look like for you? Tom Underwood is coming over here tomorrow, and we're gonna catch him up on some of the animated direct-to-disk movies from the past year or so and maybe watch Zombieland as well. There will be pizza, oh yes, there will.

There's supposed to be a ForProfitCon in town, but first we're helping the oldest clean her room.

Yay!

I had fun at KittenCon too. It was good to see people again. Also, my partner was playing one of the CDs we bought, and I am in love with "Go, Drosophila, Go!" *laugh* I wish that song had existed when I was in my last two years of high school; everyone at University High would have loved it.

Tomorrow we have arrangements with some friends to acquire free mulch at a community lot -- there is a guy with a frontloader twice a month who will pile in as much as your pickup truck will hold. We're going to collect as much as we can during the open hours for that. Usually we get 2-5 loads before the guy leaves and/or we're too tired to keep shoveling it out of the truck.

I'm thinking of going to the Detroit Science Center to see the planetarium show on black holes and/or the IMAX show about Arabia.

Loved seeing you and everyone else again.

This weekend, chauffering a bunch of Girl Scouts to a field trip and then finding a place for a quiet cuppa while I wait for them to be finished (I'm not on the list of people that has to sit with them in the presentation). Cleaning my house. Basic relaxation and stuff...church and gaming on Sunday. Oh, yeah, and prepping for Spring Offensive (local gaming convention) which is next weekend.

Am in Denver, CO at Starfest, heckling Marc Gunn and hyperactive over the news that Bruce Campbell's the headlining guest next year. ACK!

But now, a shower and sleep!

No real plans. Went out cruising a little to avoid cabin fever. Watching first season of Greatest American Hero. (forgot to get batteries for the PS3 remote so I have to use the awkward controller to watch movies) Made homemade veggie soup with my own turkey broth.

Tomorrow I have my Pulp-era RPG over Skype (hooray, after weeks of delay we're finally having a game). I also have to do the write up of my other PnP RPG session.

Oh, and I'm going to try and make some changes in my bedroom to make better use of space. What I'd love to be able to do once I'm employed again is to either get a small computer desk or a comfy chair and set it up in the bedroom. But right now I just don't have ROOM.

Forgot to mention, I was given the tentative DucKon Filk Schedule (http://www.duckon.org/filkschedule.html) today and posted it to the site. Tom is on Sunday at 2 followed by closing ceremonies.

PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch the hell outta Zombieland. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that was so balls-out, unabashedly FUN.

Thanks, Tom. Glad you had a good time--hopefully that means you will come back next year! And thanks for taking over the Guitar Hero vocals for me, it's kinda hard to get a good score when one doesn't know the words! Also, if you're ever in the area and just want to come hang out, email one of us and let us know you're gonna be here. We won't even try to get us to entertain you. ;)

Oh, and "what's his name with the waffles" is Sean, also known as StarKnight (or occasionally Silent Bob).

Just managed to catch up...it's always fun to see you, Tom and it's nice to spend time "just hanging out"

I was also really happy to see everyone who came to kittencon...sometimes i get freaked out because i try to be invisible and fail, but it's wonderful to have so many friends.

*hug*
