I've been intermittently working on (and adding to) the long queue of journal entries that await posting, but I thought I should toss in a quick placeholder to say hi, I'm still here, still planning to post some more entries soon.<\/p>\n<p>Very brief recap of past week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fireworks with M and her friends at the lake on the 3rd.  Cool.  One million people.  Food from KFC.<\/li>\n<li>At some point during Chicago trip, saw <cite>Cafe au Lait<\/cite> with M.  Excellent French poly movie; totally charming, very funny, highly recommended.<\/li>\n<li><cite>Too Much Light<\/cite> with M on the 4th.  Great as usual.  Bought two books of their plays, plus a DVD (!!!) of a performance.  Amazing fireworks all over the city afterward.<\/li>\n<li>Overall, it was a really good Chicago trip.<\/li>\n<li>Flew home on the 5th.  Kam picked me up, and was very patient with the very long wait for my luggage.<\/li>\n<li>Back to work on the 6th.<\/li>\n<li>Last night, <cite>Superman Returns<\/cite> with Kam.<\/li>\n<li>Today, read some subs, did a little bit of yard work, practiced poi, worked out some new approaches to coping with email spam, and got a start on my backlogged dishes.<\/li>\n<li>Tonight, a \"33 1\/3\" birthday party, which I'm late to, so I really oughtta get going.<\/li>\n<li>Tomorrow, brunch with MB&amp;B, followed perhaps by a video game convention with Kam (featuring a bunch of '80s arcade games, as I understand it), possibly followed by <cite>Pirates of the Caribbean II<\/cite>.  And I ought to read some subs and do some editing somewhere in there.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of thoughts and discussions mixed into the above about author gender in sf and various other issues currently making the rounds in the blogs.<\/li>\n<li>Also some reading; nearly done with <cite>Bastard Out of Carolina<\/cite>, for example.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More on most of those items to follow eventually.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Anne pointed out that I haven&#8217;t posted since shortly after my arrival in Chicago last weekend.
