Long time, no chat.
Nothing much is going on here. Work is consuming entirely too much of my brain power, to the point that I haven’t really read/watched/listened to anything fun for ages.
DragonCon was fun/exhausting/weird/wild/too much money. As it always is. (Nathan Fillion and Matt Smith do the charming thing well, and also look much better IRL (and by that I mean they look more real, less airbrushed.) So does Katee Sackhoff. She does less of the charming thing and more of the badass attitude, which is also pretty appealing. (Karl Urban had to cancel again, sob.) We walked into the William Shatner panel yesterday morning, but got shut out of the GotG2 one on Saturday. The Dr Who fandom is devoted and a little scary in their intensity, but we did manage to see one of Eleven’s panels, as well as Alex Kingston’s.) I bought a time-turner pendant that I plan on wearing as a long necklace in my Mundane life, to see who might recognize it. (I wear long, weird pendants a lot, so people may just think it’s another one of my oddities. We’ll see.) Team NASA at the Space track were as awesome as always--#2Son & I had the best time at the Cassini panel, which was like the best gossip from the mission. I left my AmEx at a restaurant, but the bartender found it and kept it safe for me, blessings be upon her.
I am keeping an eye on Irma to see if I should cancel the NYC trip, but there’s not a lot I can do about that until later in the week, so for now, I’m just laying in the tropical storm supplies and keeping my fingers crossed. (Also, I am very happy not to still own any property in SC. I worry for friends, of course, but not having to seriously deal with hurricane prep is very welcome ATM.)
...and lunch is done so I will talk with you all later!
