Things, you know, just things

kittenpants was out for the weekend, so triadruid and I (almost) finished up the holiday shopping while she was gone. I learned a thing about triadruid, which is that he has a certain number of steps alloted to him for each day, and at the end of that magical number of steps, he turns off his filters. Then, he's wandering idly through, say, the mall, going "Yugoloth. Megaloth! ULTRALOTH!!" and suchlike. Why not? Also, we haven't been in a mall in so long that being in the mall was like being in another world altogether from the one we know. I think this happens every time we go shopping, and I just forget. It's not precisely alienation, just a sense of being an ethnologist studying a tribe practically unknown by your own tribe.

Also, kittenpants is back now, and we should get to actually spend some time with her after she turns in her Greek final tomorrow. Wish her smooth translations, will ya?

The schedule for this week looks pretty nice, actually. Tonight, finish up Arts and Crafts Time (we're making some clever little things for some people...), tomorrow is Ballapalooza (zylch and an unknown cast of others are coming over to make booze balls and cookies in our kitchen), Thursday is Date Night (I have some inkling that we might go see The Golden Compass, and Friday we're gaming (there's this thing with this entire village full of werewolves....). That's a whole week in which none of the words are 'meeting'. I'm excited. Are you excited?

The problem with eating during D*C is the fact that people so rarely want to leave the con for even a minute to go get food. And the fact that parking is a right bitch does complicate matters even more. *shrugs* I dunno what to tell you if you only come into town for D*C. I can suggest some places to eat on Friday, but since it's Downtown the joint pretty well shuts down on weekends.

Eh, we don't so much have a problem leaving Con, except for the parking thing. We really want to park the car on Thursday/Friday, and not return to it on Monday. So we go places that are within walking distance. And, in theory, we could go places that are accessible via MARTA, if we knew where to go. I personally (and probably perversely) enjoy just getting on MARTA and riding around aimlessly, but for some reason I usually can't talk anybody else into doing that with me. ;)
