I keep having dreams about airports and airplanes. Sadly I also keep having dreams about being abandoned in them. Although the laptops that inflated airbag-style were pretty amusing. Also the part where seanan_mcguire had managed to page our missing parties for us by mysteriously having their names printed in the tourist guidebooks, saying things like "Lyta, please meet Vixy at the point indicated on the map on page 350," and on page 350, "Lyta, here is the spot where you need to meet Vixy now [arrow pointing to spot]". (I didn't even notice the pun until after I woke up. Paging! Get it?) (No, I don't know who Lyta is.)
The 107th street crows are becoming an entertaining part of my commute. Sometimes one or two will head for me when they see me coming now. On Monday, when I had to go home sick, I was too out of it to remember to take food for the walk home. So I walked a different route than usual, but they still found me and followed me, going "where's the food? Ya got any food? No food?" Most of them left off after a few blocks, but one juvenile followed me, silently, nearly all the way home. Every half block or so, flap-flap-flap-perch right above and ahead of me, just watching while I cawed weakly up at him, then flying ahead again once I passed.
Tuesday there was positively a GANG of juvenile crows on my way in, just mobbing the Wheat Thins like crazy. Yesterday was not as fun, because there kept being other people following right behind me or jogging by or walking dogs, and the crows won't come eat without a bit of people-free personal space. I think I entertained a few people, though. The crows like to pop out of nowhere and startle me when I think none of them are there.
I have done a Thing last month & this month which may possibly save my company $500-$600 a month. No, it's very much *not* an exciting thing that I did, but I'm excited about it because I really actually do like the people I work for quite a lot, and they have been *awesome* about my mom and everything, and it feels great to do something good for them above & beyond just doing my job well. It also feels great to be actively helping make sure we stay in business and I *have* a job, since business has been slowing down a lot lately.
Tomorrow is the Big Damn House Concert! I'm terrified, as always. Ah, but it's going to be fabulous. :) See here and here and also here for details on directions, donations, etc., and please RSVP to betsyt@pinecoon.com. Vixy & Tony will perform a set, then S.J. Tucker who is RELEASING HER NEW ALBUM MISCHIEF AHEM AWESOME will perform a set, then the amazing redhead Browncoat Marian Call will perform a set. You know us, though, there'll be some musical bleed through in all directions. :)
Then Saturday is the Can't Stop the Serenity charity screening, with food and concerts and Dr. Horrible and all kinds of shiny raffle stuff if you buy the extra-package ticket of ZOMGness. Plus you can see me in my new Kaylee coveralls that tereshkova2001 thoroughly abused helped me distress to look screen-authentic!
Also, my husband is awesome. Have I mentioned that my husband is awesome? My husband is awesome.
See you this weekend I hope!
