Recovering from yesterday (got up early and went to the
wedding of two friends.. very nice wedding.. meanwhile
missed most of the local annual
science fiction convention which was also this
weekend (skipped the Friday evening stuff so as to be in
decent shape to play guitar the next morning; but instead
stayed up as late just being a worrywart, though I suppose
that was somewhat less tiring than convention-going) but did
go to the filking last night which was a fine thing.. then
spent most of today (Sunday) asleep thus neatly missing the
rest of the convention, and also missing helping friends
move furniture (oops)).
Yet another thing going on this weekend (one that I was glad
to mostly miss yesterday) was the annual "vintage grand
prix" in which people with wacky old cars take and drive
them around in circles in the park a couple blocks down the
street from me (sadly, it is audible from here), all
weekend.
Have not been doing much geek stuff lately, due to
trying to get calluses back in time for wedding after having
neglected guitar all summer; and "mundane" things like
that. Also reflected (last night) that I have not produced
much filk (if it can be dignified with the name) in the past
year or so, maybe partly due to spending brain cells on
other things, such as "working on thesis research" or newer
ways to procrastinate same, and partly due to being lately
gripped with a preference to write something with an
original tune that is unrelated to graduate school or
computers, the feasibility of which remains unproven (and
thus nothing gets written at all).
