Excellent weekend

[moominmuppet]

Just too little time at the moment to write about it. Escorting was extra-fun; it was me and Casey, and a new guy that we've decided gets the Sarah and Casey stamp of approval -- great conversations all day, which makes the time pass so much faster, and makes it easier to cope with some of the particularly obnoxious tactics from the antis (they've really been pushing the limits of the FACE act in terms of standing in front of vehicles).

The rest of Saturday was excellent and enjoyable social time with a few folks, and general household hang-out as well. Sunday was chill to the point of comatose; finally caught up on some sleep, but less housekeeping than I'd meant.

Oh. Well, got some more time to write after all. Our phone switch just died. I work on a helpdesk. We're rather paralysed at the moment.

So, back to Sunday. Went to the first CYPRUS meeting (which I'd posted about a week or so ago -- the new local kink/alternative sexualities 18-25 group in the area), which was fun, even if the restaurant seated us in the least convenient way possible. I'll definitely be returning.

Right now I'm going back and adding to GoodReads all the books I've read from the "Books Read" page of my "Books to Read" spreadsheet. So, leveldeaded and patentpink, I think you're about to get a really ridiculous number of notifications all at once. Sorry about that.

Currently reading Sex Collectors: The Secret World of Consumers, Connoisseurs, Curators, Creators, Dealers, Bibliographers, and Accumulators of "Erotica". It's a very light read so far; fun, but as much about the author's journey as about what he found.

I'm checking my spreadsheet. I've finished Structures, or Why Things Don't Fall Down, A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky, Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith, What's the Matter With Kansas?, and V for Vendetta (all of which I have you listed as recommending or co-recommending). I've read the Dark Materials series already, although I'm adding The Authoritarians to the spreadsheet. I've been quite happy with the recs; I've developed a substantial fondness for Vinge (just read his most recent earlier this month), I unsurprisingly loved V for Vendetta, and Structures was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

I've currently got Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid home from the library, although I haven't started it yet. Other than that, I've still got about a dozen recs from you on the "To Read" side of the spreadsheet.
