I think I went into every shop in Cork today. I spent over two hours looking for something appropriate to wear to the Saturday night banquet. The sole thing I found that would have worked–a lil’ tuxedo-y jacket sort of thing–they did not have in my size. And I *hate* shopping. It was not a pleasant morning. :p OTOH, we did meet up with for lunch, which was much nicer than tromping around and failing to find anything to buy. :) We then had a bookstore accident at Other Realms,…
get out of jail free
I’ve been handed a get out of jail free card! I didn’t very much want to go to Spanish class tonight, and a while ago, the teacher called and said it’d been cancelled! Hah! I’m still going to go into town (in the AMAZING DUMPING RAIN) and do some shopping, because it’s pretty much now or never, since I want to spend tomorrow with Ted (and having lunch with !), and the four days after that are going to be replete with the misery of revising COYOTE DREAMS. *stares at…

Aww. Didn’t get the spiffy Rogue figurine. Vaguely annoying, in that I was outbid by $.01, but I took up ‘s advice of “bid what you’re actually willing to pay and forget about it until the auction is over” some years ago and have yet to be actually displeased with the results, so. :) It was a wonderously foggy morning this morning.
