Home. Alive. Now, with Caveats!

[digitaldiscipline]

D*C was lovely[1].
The hotel was fabulous[2].
Travel was uneventful[3].

Saw a lot of folks I wanted to see.[4]
Met some new folks.
Checked out a couple of panels.[5]
Heckled Voltaire.
Said rude and inappropriate things.
Said heartfelt and thoughtful things.
Laughed a lot.
Letched a lot.
Took no pictures.
Didn't sleep enough.
Budgeted perfectly.[6]


Today has been spent doing scheduled maintenance to The Life - dentist appointment, automotive service, yard work if weather permits.

Also, Skitzy, the second-generation stray cat on our porch, seems to have given birth over the weekend, so we're going to be keeping an eye out for third-gen meowlets.


In an entertaining footnote (as opposed to the actual entertaining footnotes below), I haven't worn pants since Thursday. I feel like xany_hellion. ;-)


1- Except for the achingly stereotypical lifestyle dorks who are the physical embodiment of all the unflattering stereotypes of geeks, nerds, et al.
2 - Short on elevators, and not good at all for anyone with a fear of heights, and spendy when it came to food. Marvelous beds & pillows, beautiful facility, great staff.
3 - Save for the apparently unavoidable "pointless I-75 slowdown between Gainesville and Ocala" factor.
4 - Also saw far, far more of some entirely different people than my eyes are happy with. See Also: footnote [1], in their "finery."
5 - I may speak to these at greater length individually later, but in summary, the two primary WoW sessions were excellent and well-run; the SF "technobabble" was poor, and the WoW meet was abysmal.
6 - Upon returning to GMBAN, I had $5.37 in my pocket, because critus paid for lunch, and we didn't stop and buy snacks on the way home.

"dork" is a lifestyle now?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Used above in the sense that an aspect of one's interests may so overwhelm their personality that it becomes the defining trait, and sublimates everything else. The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons looks positively charismatic next to some of the specimens I encountered.

I am, by varying turns, either a sports dork, computer dork, gaming dork, goth dork, or internet dork, I suppose. However, the variety and frequent mutability (and, depending on whom you ask, mutual exclusivity) of some of these may preclude me from being disparagingly classified as a lifestyle dork in any of them. Maybe.

Welcome back... er. Not that I am there. But I *am* here, so welcome back to LJ and to your home.

I am sure firefly_pilot will regale me with tales of his adventures. Sounds like everyone had a blast!

Don't think I didn't see your little chit-chat with xn, toots. ;-)

We seemed to be going perpendicular to your beau a lot of the time, but the chances we did get to hang together were, as always, just dandy.

Glad it was an overall positive experience. I'll probably pots pics sometime this weekend. The Zen of DragonCon did not work for us on Sunday...I don't think we saw you and then we took off on Monday.
