Well, I hesitate to suggest this because I've never met a fellow buffista face to face before, but do you want to do lunch while you're here. If your time is already booked with family stuff, don't worry about it but if you have the time, you wanna?

They don't generally bite. Unless you ask.
I had dinner with Perkins and Tom tonight, we split a "Hana Boat" at a local sushi place (Hana Cafe). It's essentially a metric fuckload of sushi, sashimi, and rolls served in a big wooden boat. Absolutely perfect for 4 people.
Also very yummy. I got to meet Jess's DH, and see Tom and Jess! Yay, me. It was very fun, though my walk home was a little rainyier than I had hoped.
Cereal: Good luck with the induction, if it happens, Burrell, and Yay for good introductions, Allyson.
quester, that'd be fine. I'll let you know the dates I'll be there when I know more specifics. I don't expect to be overly busy while I'm there.
Jessica, I'm with you. I love the Rambaldi stuff. It's so addicting! Also? I adored Arvin Clone!
Following up on wingnut TX legislators, did y'all see this?
TX House votes to end gay foster parenting.
It still has to go through Conference Committee before it becomes law, but damn y'all, that's cold.
Alias:
The Sloane identification scene and the Arvin Clone bit were too damn funny.
And, OK, he was mean and all, but Ha! to the torturing dude for the lie/lay bit.
Sloane was freaky. Loved it.
ETA: The torture scenes were distrubing . And she did have a point at the end there - Clone wants her to use her engineering skills to help him build something, so his thug ruins her hands? At the very least, she'd need to write or type some calculations or something, you'd figure. That was not forward thinking.
Alias: I have the big love for Arvin Clone for sure. I am still eye rolly and leary of going back to Rambaldi it may be the shiny floaty red ball. Or perhaps the way it ended last time. Will I watch next week? Ya betcha!
Sloane: I believe I have never seen him better. Yay for creeeeeeeeepy.
