I'm here in Virginia for the scattering (actually burying) of my mom and dads ashes in the memory garden of my moms church. It's her beloved lefty church and the minister is a young woman who did a lovely job. Then the family had lunch together and then we gathered up the last bit of stuff from my moms place. We unearthed a particularly hideous painting of my mom which none of us had ever seen and all of us tried to fob of on each other. I beleive my brother Chris slipped it into the box of books he carried out to my car, so it'll be my job to get rid of it once I get back home tomorrow..

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Got my pi hooked up to the stereo. Now just deciding on Hell's Bells by AC/DC or Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses for my intro music.
Timelies all!
Just got back from daytripping Shore Leave, a local fan-run media con. Headliner was William Shatner, but I was more interested in Ming-Na Wen and Allison Scagliotti. Mr. S was being especially challenging, so that wasn't fun.
My band played at a local event, and the crowd was AWESOME. We played an encore! Also one of the leaders got us pizza and then I went for ice cream with friends. All in all, an excellent afternoon.
And I am on vacation!!
If you went to see Ming-Na Wen, you were probably in the same room as one of my and shrift's oldest fannish friends. She got some cute finger puppets in (I assume) the dealer room.

Unspecific ~ma to ND and Pix (psst, btw, lots of love too.), and ~ma to Kate's dad. Also, much ~ma to all others who need it, as I skimmed more than a bit.

Last update I read said 4 of the boys in Thailand have been rescued and they are working on getting them all out now during a weather break.
I put on a medium-length podcast and did both vacuuming and cleaned the litter box! Woot.
