Mastodon Weekend approacheth. I am one of those who cannot attend - damn that responsible adult syndrome (RAS)! Always popping up when it’s least wanted!
But just because I can’t go, doesn’t mean I can’t hand out with some other bloggers likewise afflicted by RAS.
I’ve set up a donkament rebuy for Friday night and I’m looking [...]

Got a little note from VinNay, saying he was ready, are there plans in the works? Thanks for the reminder - was losing track of the year already (which considering it’s now February, does not bode well for the rest of the year).
I’m taking it as my cue to get my ass in gear and start working [...]

If the first day is a good barometer for how the year is going to shape up, then 2010 is going to be a good one.

I have found my passport, and have checked to make sure that it is not expiring anytime soon.
I have my card capper, my gold hammer pin and a US$ credit card set aside on the part of my desk now unofficially known as “crap to take to Vegas”.
There are still lots of things to plan, [...]

To those who have commented, emailed or texted me lately and have received no response, I am both thankful for the thoughts and and sorry that I have not replied.
My mind has been elsewhere, and unless it’s done with the immediacy of Twitter or IMs, it’s just not happening. Hopefully my mind will be back [...]
