Catching up
Oct. 6th, 2008 08:25 amThere's been a lot of stuff in the last few weeks, including a really interesting if slow-paced theater workshop up in the mountains which ended with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lediva not-quite breaking her foot and a truly dreadful sort of overnight ride home from Boston, the acquisition of new computers and rubber duckies, and way too many apples.
This weekend I managed to get out tolediva's place for a much more pleasant visit, including going to the 2008 IgNobel lectures and then cocktail-partying with IgNobel winners, one actual Nobel Laureate, and the rest of the Ig staff and associates, including sword swallower Dan Meyer and a good number of the rest of the winners.
It also included unusual Mexican food at Tu y Yo, a restaurant down the block fromlediva's place, where I got to remind myself that cuitlacoche is way too salty for me, but I also got to have a mini-tamale variety plate. Tamales are one of my favorite foods, and variety plates of small things always make me really happy, so I was sold. Seriously, you could give me 5 white castle sliders with different condiments on each on a cute plate and I'd be really happy. It's just how I am.
We also paid a short visit topostrodent, circuit_four, and shatterstripes, in order to pick up the signed print of the Six of Wands from the Egypt Urnash Tarot. I also ended up borrowing a whole prototype deck from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shatterstripes, to read with at the Samhain event run by my pagan Temple. I'm going to have to go review my Crowley, since that's the base meaning set that she uses. I'm looking forward to playing with it.
Also, there was snuggling and sleeping in. My kitty is good for that kind of thing. :)
I've finished up all of the consulting/freelance stuff I had on my plate for the moment, and am hoping something new falls into my lap somehow for the next little while. Otherwise, there's mostly getting the last things set forprojectmothra's birthday (including building some modest IKEA stuff, and various website stuff, and probably going over to see if I can be useful over at the local Obama office for the next few weeks. Today I'm giving platelets, which is a good way to feel virtuous while actually mostly spending two hours sitting around reading.
What have you been up to?
