Nilly, what is your dissertation about? The one-sentence version is fine, and it's okay to use technical terms because mr. flea wants to know. And he has a PhD - in SCIENCE! (Which is an American public-radio-based joke that you will not get, but funny, trust me.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What about the Robertson Screw?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go Canada!
So, mom confirms all is well. I think I'll still make plans to go up there, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Worldcon was fun, and involved a lot of walking. My hotel(which was where most of the filk events were) was about 6 blocks from the convention center. Also walked around the 16th street mall in Denver in order to get food. I came back with 4 more books and one fewer pair of jeans than I had when I got there. (The jeans were ancient, and had a small rip in the seat which became a large rip by the end of the con)
