At long last, I have Internet access at home again! The relief and joy are palpable. In the interest of brevity and not boring the assorted socks off everyone, I’ll try to keep the synopsis relatively brief:
I’ve been summoned for jury duty. Again. The last time was for the great Pimp-Slap Trial of 2002; we’ll see whether I actually manage to get selected again this time, and for what. Hmm.
Trip to Oakland Cemetery on Sunday with Cindy (link is actually to Mr. Cindy’s site, which is the closest I know of for her Web presence), for photography practice. Cindy was very kind in not laughing at my feeble photography skills, and for not mocking me for wearing ankle-length velvet in the sun and muggy heat and then whining about how uncomfortable I was. I think a few of my pics turned out moderately passable, at least for me; I’ll post them on Flickr later tonight.
He wrote back this morning, which meant that I spent most of the day grinning like a complete dork and doing spontaneous little happy dances in the hallway. Of course, this now means that I’ve got to face the daunting task of writing him back, agonizing again over every little word and punctuation mark, but hey, he wrote back! And he actually seemed to have put some thought into it, not just suggesting I go Google Stockholm. (Yes, I’m fully aware I’m pathetic, and I suck at this sort of thing. On the other hand, he’s cute, and sweet, and smart; as far as I can tell, he seems to be worth the very real risk that I’ll make a complete idiot of myself, possibly repeatedly.)
DragonCon’s 2006 Program is now available for download (in PDF form). (Thanks, Sarah!) At least it looks as if they’ve put Nicholas Brendan in a ballroom, rather than the dinky little dungeonette they usually reserve for Buffy-trak stars. Also Mythbusters goodness and Firefly browncoats on Friday! I’ve been distracted lately by all the Sweden planning, but now that I have the final-ish info, I’m getting rather excited about DC. About bloody well time, I suppose.
Your photos are fabulous. You really have talent!

You’re way too kind, but thanks. I’m trying. . . .
