Um... busy week? I guess. Combination of a busy schedule meets sleep-dep catching up with me. Bad combination.

The weekend, in Shoreline, WA, went by in a blur -- way too fast. I took Chaos and Callie out to dinner, in honor of Callie's impending birthday, at Chandler's Crab House. YUM NOM NOM. Naomi, being under the weather, was there by proxy -- her share got taken home to her.

I seem to need less sleep than my hosts, so a fair amount of reading got done. Not to mention delayed flights on both ends of the trip -- the new Kindle proved its worth.

I also made the acquaintance of N's new Lenovo S10 netbook, and of Cyrano, my plush rhino. I had Cyrano shipped to Promusica to meet Naomi, whose idea he was in the first place; he proved to be an excellent neck pillow as well as a snuggly companion. When we got home, Colleen admonished her plush wombat not to be jealous.

Did I mention that we're all slightly weird?

Lots of links under the cut -- go see for yourself.

Cyrano is a lovely rhino and I will miss him. I miss you too, and I'm sad I was so sick so much of the weekend and barely got to see you.

[mdlbear]

I miss you a lot, too. Hopefully next time we'll get more time together.

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
