Happy memememe fencing news:
I earned my "E" rating in foil by finishing 7th in a 32-person tournament yesterday. While it's not exactly a ticket to fame, fortune, and international sports stardom, a rating does generally mean a slightly easier time in future tournaments. Plus, hey, I might've actually gotten decent at this stuff somewhere along the line....
When I decided on a whim to try out this fencing thing (something I might never have done if I didn't have Buffistas egging me on) I never thought I'd get so utterly addicted to it. Y'all have listened to a lot of babbling about it over the last two years, so I figured you're the people I needed to babble to about this.
Just to let everyone know - starting this Monday we will be getting the three unaired episode of Firefly in Canada. We'll be discussing the episodes in the Atlantic Canadians thread. We will be discussing the episodes as they air, each Monday.
Hey Somervillians -- I'm going to be up there for Thanksgiving, and will have some free time Friday and Saturday (as far as I know. My mother has been known to Make Plans and not tell me). Anyone around? Want to get a cup of coffee or something?
Uncle John is out of surgery and the doctors are saying his heart looks good.
Thanks for all the love and -ma.
::MWAH::
Thanks, all,******** for the house-ma. We got the new apartment, just got back from meeting with our sweet new landlord. Yay for adorable tiny house and $700 less per month of rent!
BTW--it's about three blocks from the Safari Inn, where the LA F2F was held!
Can I get a witness?(No, just some healthma for my mother...I've just listened to soul my whole life and wanted to say that.) Healthma should be aimed at Phoenix at 2PM mountain time. Thanks, all.
Family arriving soon for Thanksgiving, so I'll be dark for a bit. Happy Harvest Holiday to all!
I'll be dark until Saturday evening due to Thanksgiving travel. See you all then!
Let's see...
- packed
- all documents in order
- forwarding put on phone mail and work mail
- worldly affairs in order
I guess I can go to England after all.
Also, I wish to announce -- by dint of more or less sketching in the remaining bit of smutscene, and skipping ahead to the denouement I was able to legitimately write "The End" on the Body Swap story this morning. It needs a rather strong rewrite and beta phase but at the moment it is a complete WIP. Go Me!
I'm not sure how much I'll get to check here. I plan to try to check my email once a day at Internet cafes and perhaps the board too, but we'll see on that.... Take care and see you next week!
I am in L.A. There is currently talk (via the LAistas list) of a dinner Sunday, maybe at 8pm. Email me or Sean K if you're not on that list and are interested in joining us.
