oyceterHad a remarkably social weekend! Met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tonapah and ywong on Sat. Then headed up to SF today to see double_helix and Alex, and had lots of fun wandering around parts of SF I haven't seen before (unsurprisingly, given how little of SF I've seen). I also spent more than I should have on books ^_^. But I now possess Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears (I lost my copy), Megan Lindholm's Wizard of the Pigeons (whoo!), and Pamela Dean's Secret Country trilogy. I also feel slightly better about doing this because a) birthday and b) supporting one of the coolest bookstores I have been to.
Innate introversion and fear of unknown people is now battling with the desire to meet all the cool people on LJ. Maybe this year I will go to a con. Yikes. I'm sort of leaning toward Wiscon because Robin McKinley will be there, though I'm kind of scared I haven't read enough to contribute to intelligent discussion. And it sounds like a smaller con, which is good and less scary. It's probably too early to ask who else is planning on going.
(Ooo, the X-Files pilot is on now! I love old school Scully and her old school laptop.)
Oh, and I had Ethiopian for the first time, and it was good (although hairless cats and flat bread will now forever be associated in my mind because Alex is evil). Anddouble_helix tempts me with the prospect of Nepalese food.
(Hee! Mosquito bite scene!)
Of course, I came home and opened my Comcast bill and they say I haven't paid it and service might be cancelled. What?! I have it set on autopay! And the internet bill doesn't show anything unpaid. Comcast has been doing some really wonky things since we moved.
And the boy will be home tomorrow and he promises he will bring me to a bookstore and buy me the Lymond Chronicles (maybe I will be bad and sneak in King Hereafter as wll).
