vacation

I'm back from my vacation. The previously mentioned wedding-thing came and went. It was fun to see people I haven't seen in a while, and regress into childhood a bit, but... ...well, it was fun.

I went to an anime convention on the weekend. I hadn't done that before. I'd gone to a couple Star Trek or sci-fi conventions before, often for no better reason than to browse the dealers tables. In this one, I think I experienced more of the convention-ness of convention going. I ran into people I haven't seen for a while (for better or for worse), and people seemed to know me, which I always find bizarre and disconcerting. I met some new people, and I got to talk to some German guy, and say 'hi' to Commander Rick (but was too much of a coward to ask for an autograph or anything, not that I know what to do with autographs anyway). It was neat. I bought a vibrating Totoro. I think I'd like to do it again if a similar opportunity arose.

Over the last month or so, I haven't been thinking much beyond this past weekend. I think I've kind of lost track of what I'm doing now. Um, it's probably not important. I should probably just focus on cleaning up and catching up on sleep. I probably need another vacation to recover from the vacation.
