fiddledragon was here for the weekend; went to a roundsing with her and some SWIL folk I didn't know and had a lovely time. I've never been to a roundsing, but I want to keep going back for them. Singing trains my ear--it's been lagging lately when trying to pick up new songs--and makes my heart happy.

Recently also settled my con-and-going-to-Bryn-Mawr-in-the-spring schedule; that is now a public post such that people may plan for my illustrious presence.

Also watched a truly amazing piece of televison, four episodes of the short-lived TV series "Wonderfall." A girl with a degree from Brown, working on the Buffalo side of Niagra falls (closer to Canada in spirit and land and people than some United States marked out on a map) in a kitch store and gaining a great inferiority complex. And then the kitch starts offering her unexplained mystical advice.


It reminds me a lot of living with my parents. I was in some respects able to see some of their actions clearly for the first time; it also raises my (metaphorical) hackles because I have the same irrational response to their mannerisims that the main character does. While watching this show, I expect to be called out of the room at any moment to come have a family talk.


It is the only consistently truly hilarious American live-action TV show that I have seen in years. It also accurately embodies the feeling of awake-state precognition that I occasionally get. Not that souvenir lions are speaking to me, you understand, but the messages and her reaction to them are spot-on. Also, it told the truth about exorcism: dangerous, stupid, and probably unnecessary.

In other news, I am sick; I caught something from Rush-that-Speaks.
It involves:
- sounding like Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer for most of the day without any of the super-physics-genius benefits.
- sleeping for vast quantities of time, getting up for half an hour, then being so exhausted that you go and sleep for another five hours or so straight. My joints feel like they have the flexibility of taffy left out in the sun too long.

If I do not come to the phone or appear online for several days, that is why.

Note to self: return Rax's comics when I return to the land of the living.

*Waves hi*

I don't know why they are screening me like a potential axe-murderer, but anyway... thanks, yes I'd appreciate those links on phantom limb syndrome, thanks }:=8)

Hope you get better soon!

That community is screened by default; I'm screened too. Orion's gotten a lot of trolls. Let me see what I can find and email to you in a few days.

Actually, Fledge, most of 'em are completely on my own computer, which I will not be able to access 'til February or thereabouts. I will email when I can get to them.

No problem! Thanks.

*Settles down to wait*

I hope that's not too much of a pain for you, in the meanwhile!
