Dance Practice

Had a decent dance practice last night. Very middle-of-the-road.

Saw learnedax and tpau briefly, but they both mysteriously vanished before break. They *did* both (independently) ask about the party on Sunday, though, so perhaps I'll see them there.

Had much silliness with rufinia. She was mad at me for not bringing back any special beer from my Chicago trip. I worked my way partially back into her good graces by means of backrubs and an emergency book-loan (yet another good reason to always carry an extra book on one's person!)

Danced Jenny Pluck Pears with bess -- and Ira. It was interesting, though it did definitely cramp my flirting style :-) Nice to see that he's starting to be willing/able to dance with non-parents.

juldea showed up late, but I got to dance with her, yay! Also glad that I hadn't brought a pile of Sandman books there in vain. Chatted with her for a while afterwards. She mentioned a very interesting-sounding web site, askthetechgirl.com. Apparently a combo of tech support and phone sex. Definitely an idea whose time has come! Must remember to refer kestrell to them. Or at least to their cafepress store. T-shirts and mugs that say "I'm Smarter Than You", and shirts that say "I Give Good Tech". all in pink. My favorite, though, has to be the shirt that says, in large pink letters, "What a shame", and in smaller black type underneath, "If you were smarter, we'd probably be fucking by now."

Came across this in a footnote to some Skelton I'm working on for Project Gutenberg, and thought that it might be of interest to antoniseb and any other medieval astronomy buffs out there:( Read more... )
