Amazing how quickly I got used to people singing and playing instruments all the time. And how strange it is to walk into a room without music or even a guitar.

A coworker responded to the above by singing,

I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon
No, something isn't right there...

So I sang back

I've got a theory
Some kid is dreaming
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare

He is made of win.

Yes, I went to my first filk con this weekend, largely to be support person for skydancer. Determined I need to learn more sound tech to be really helpful - I was fine for general setup and teardown, but didn't know, say, which mikes are better for which voice or instrument or how to position them, or how to run the board. Which meant Friday was a very long day for skydancer as editing and mixing for brunch bonus CD followed dinner followed concerts followed recording for brunch bonus CD. I was able to convince him to let me take over duplicating the CDs on Saturday during & right after brunch. He'd found a nifty solution for labels - CD blanks that are coated with an ink-absorbing substance so that we could print the labels right onto the CDs. The printing was pretty fast too - 80-some CDs in less than 3 hours of 1 printer printing, two laptops burning, and me shoveling CDs into cases.

I also danced, laughed, sang along, crocheted, and managed to bring home 10 CDs, despite somehow not grabbing a brunch CD ... shaddup ....

Monday I didn't do much; I avoided snow silliness & caught up on laundry by working from home. Yay VPN. Also have been reading con reports in conflikt.

Unlike her namesake, Rosie the roomba can slip right under the bed. Not just any bed, mind you, but the very heavy king-size cabinet-headboard bed of God custom-designed by sar_anon. Previously I had to move the mattress and box springs to vacuum under the thing. Hail Rosie, long may she putter along picking up particles.

I also figured out how to clean Rosie's innards, which is useful.

I am waaay behind in the LordPeter mailing list discussion of Gaudy Night. Pooh.

Several people I met at Conflikt added me recently. Hope you enjoy what I post - if not, no worries :)
