Is it Friday yet?
Had a lovely, lovely visit from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladylabrinth and the_yellow_king, and Saturday's festivities were, in the main, quite enjoyable. Meat, food, booze, laughs, repeat. Got to meet D's new K. Echo pending.
In and amongst the usual litany of downtime geeking and reading, we enjoyed a ton of good food and conversation, and are working hard on bringing more Gothopians on board.
I feel like stir-fried rat snot, and it's got nothing to do with drinking immoderately. I honestly think that I'm just getting fried at the office (picked up a book on CF programming, which includes a section on SQL, and hopefully that will not make baby jesus cry reading it). Again with the lack of focus or direction, though we do have a Dreamweaver development conference (skillpath seminar) on Thursday, which hopefully will rekindle some modicum of interest in or passion for the job.
Apparently, we're having our sister teams from Home Despot and Comcast come over in November. I am deeply thrilled. Seriously. [The previous sentences are best read in Ben Stein's tone of voice.]
Enjoying Gaiman's "Anansi Boys," although, partway through, it feels as though it lacks the depth of his meatier works ("Neverwhere," "American Gods"). For instance - Neil, I'm 200 or so pages in, and have to work on the assumption that most of the characters are -not- caucasian, though you've not said a thing about how they look. Would it have killed you to at least drop a hint, other than that the god Anansi is black? [This may be a byproduct of my brainmeats not firing on all cylinders, but it sure the heck seems intentionally ambiguous.]
