Even for me, this is randomness
Aug. 18th, 2003 09:11 pmHome again.
The heat, dear gibbering Christ, the HEAT. It is 88 in my house, and no cooler outdoors, and this at 9 p.m. ::checking:: Dewpoint 75, heat index 96. At 9 p.m. Jeeeeeee-zus.
But I am home, back from VividCon, which was fabulous beyond my current powers of language to express. I am at skip=520 on LJ, with god only knows how many e-mails in the inbox. I am quivering with exhaustion, swilling beer, sweating like an ice cube in hell.
I did not do the post-VividCon road trip after all, because did I mention the HEAT? And me in the Car Of No Air-Conditioning. Plus, did I really think that after four days of con I was going to be in any shape for a freakin' road trip? As in, what was I smoking?
For those in the reading audience who are friends of Zen&nancy--news! Nancy had her baby this morning at 8:23, name is Caitlin (? not sure of spelling) Quinn, 6 lb. 6 oz., and according to Zen she came out of the womb with her eyes open. I don't know if this is common or rare (paging shell?) but it freaked Zen. *g* Both nancy and baby are doing fine, as far as I know.
Did I mention VividCon was fabulous beyond the powers of speech? Why yes I think I did, but I will attempt a con report tomorrow, perhaps, when some sleep has been achieved. If any sleep is to be had, in the fucking HEAT.
I am filled with post-con bliss, like a glass which is so full that one more drop would cause it to spill over. Plus, I am full of beer. And so, so, very very hot. More later.
