After the con.

Well genghiscon was fun. Played many many games, sat in on some panels, sang along with a roomful of people who were singing the songs from Buffy - The Musical (Once More with Feeling).

Even got some sleep.
Then went to fireworks with Andrew's family, including new arrival little Ashton, who slept through whole thing, mind you where we were watching from the booms didn't reach. Except for that plane going over, but he slept through that too.
Then home to discover that not only hadn't I taped what I thought I had taped, but I'd taped over the 3rd part of the Dr Who & the Gunfighters episode with guff. Before I watched it. Oh well.

Now settling back into work after the long weekend.

Busy week...

Whew, apart from being borrowed from my usual work for a week, this is turning into a very busy week for me, caught up with Craig who is back in Perth for a bit on Saturday night and Monday. Last night I watched Spy Kids 3D and my eyes are still recovering. Was fun, though Andrew says the 3D bit didn't really work for him. Least unlike prior 3D movie attempts the bits that were 3D it didn't matter if it looked slightly odd.
Tonight I think badminton is back and my weekly singing also. Tomorrow is the swancon Underworld screening, and then Friday Genghiscon starts.
That will take up the weekend, and I might get a bit of a break on monday before the Australia day Fireworks.
Ah well, back to work!

Night mobile!

My car's little wiring problem (insulation in the wires going into the hatch had rotted away leaving a mass of shorting copper) is now all fixed. I can now drive safely at night without worrying about not having brake lights, or unilluminated licence plates.

Got the airconditioning regassed at the same time so I now don't have to rely on the roll down the window method, which is good because with the heat some days are getting that's becoming a less reliable method of aircon.

An Auntie?

Well, Andrew is now an Uncle, so I guess that makes me the nearest thing to an Auntie I'll probably get in quite a while. His brother's fiancee had a little boy today. Ashton John, who I might get to see at the weekend. (I'd go visit earlier but I don't want to give new baby my cold germs)

Seen some, well slightly colour challenged photos but the new Mum and Dad look happy and the baby, well, asleep really :)

I guess the next few years will show whether I'm really trend resistant, what with the large increase in infants my friends seem to be producing lately.

Bleah

Well, back to work. Though so far I've spent maybe one morning at my workplace. Given that at the weekend I came down with a rotten cold and am now coughing and sneezing and not really inclined to spread my germs around if I can avoid it, so yesterday afternoon and today I worked from home. Yay for telecommuting.

Enjoyed NY party. Hopefully that isn't where I picked up this cold, but I know of at least 2 people there who were feeling sniffly so that might be where I got it. Or not. So hard to tell.

Have seen and enjoyed RotK. It's fun, but take a bathroom break before you go in. It is indeed long.

Still figuring out what to do about car. Head not in state to make decisions.

Bed sounds like a good idea.
