Here we have many photos. They include gratuitous kitty pictures, Elton John concert photos, Mira Furlan, Dublin, and my office. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine which are which. The guitarist, who was Cool: Sir Elton signing things before the encore: Mira Furlan (Delenn) at the Forbidden Planet in Dublin. She was there for a signing, and because was in town, it was inevitable that we ended up going to see her. She’s a very nice woman indeed. We chatted for a few minutes, in…

Got an email from , who has known me since about…I donno. 1992? Maybe before then, even: (‘s friend) L read a book the other day where the protagonist said she had “the emotional intelligence of a turnip.” giggles. says “That sounds … /almost/ familiar!” L says “Read it, maybe? Main character’s a mechanic.” L says “_Coyote Dreams_ or something like that. The third in a series, present-day.” …. laughs!!! “OK yes, I’ve read that. *wipes eyes* Ahem.

whew!
, Ted and I watched Human Nature/Family of Blood yesterday. *clutches heart and staggers around* That’s not just doom. That’s chocolately doom: the kind of doom you just can’t resist. Wow. God damn, but is good. I will be falling upon him and weeping and strangling him a little bit and going AUGH a lot at MeCon, I think. :) It has been a completely smashing week. took us down to Kinsale on Saturday and gave us the history of Ireland as relevant to Kinsale, and brought us to Charlesfort…

Anyone who had the opportunity to enjoy the smashingly nice, rain-free afternoon and evening yesterday in Cork should thank and me for it. We’d intended on going to Blarney, but the intermittent torrential downpours all morning and into the early afternoon put us off, so we decided in favor of tucking ourselves in and watching as much Torchwood and Doctor Who as we could. Consequently, Ted and I have now seen episodes 1, 12 and 13 of Torchwood, and the final 3 episodes of Doctor Who, which were all full…
