3 weeks ago, still riding the high from DucKon, I pulled the trigger on InConJunction.  I went all by myself this time.  I had a pretty good time, but it was nowhere near what DucKon had been. From my perspective, the hotel (the Sheraton at Keystone Crossing) was fine except for one thing: the stairways are exclusively fire escapes; they do not open into the function levels of the hotel.  You cannot...

I think we all have some form of this list, even if it's just vague "pay off the debts, nice house, nice car, world cruise" thoughts which occasionally drift by when we pay the bills. Some of us, though, have detailed, written lists of exactly what we'd do with half a million dollars... or ten million... or ten billion. (Mine currently goes up to just under one trillion US dollars - I have some plans...

19:53 @ wilw Welcome to Portland, land of rain. You should visit during the winter, it rains CONSTANTLY in winter. # 21:57 Raping your childhood: filkertom.livejournal.com/1026608.html SFW # 22:10 @ delilahblue64 I agree. My mom and dad made sure to let me know they would always love me, even when I misbehaved. # 23:11 About the cookie dough recall: anyone fool enough to eat...

Cookie Monster ( @stcookie ) just started following me on Twitter! LOL! And in other news, raping your childhood memories (SFW) = http://filkertom.livejournal.com/1026608.html

I'm going to attempt to remember the weekend in order.  This will probably be long, not too coherent, and less interesting than the other 37 conreps that you've already found on your friends page. We'll start our narrative on Thursday.  Our hero had expected to spend the day cleaning tiger cages, but despite an email the night before canceling the engagement (and thus leaving the day free), our...

Short version... Duckon rocked like a rocking thing... Cats survived three days home alone, and missed me but forgave me... Dogs were sprung from boarding today and also forgave me... Next year's Duckon will also rock. Long version... I had Friday off work, so Friday morning consisted of finishing my packing and hauling the dogs into town to drop them off for boarding. Poor babies... they were less...

Just got back from DucKon , where I had the pleasure of experiencing fine performances by the irrepressible filkertom  , the incredible cadhla  , tigertoy  , ToyBoat , Vixy & Tony, Kathy Mar and many others.  Also did some terrific gaming with friends old & new, and even managed to catch a ride home (Thanks, salexa  )! Meanwhile, farewell & RIP to Lt. Roger Terry...

Roper and Erica have stayed for the deaddog, but it was time for the girls to be home. Julie is having a nap and Katie is having a bit of quit time in mommy's bed with Tigger and Pooh. We had a blast. The girls had a wonderful time in Child Care. Duck has an EXCELLENT Child care program. Katie and Julie got to play with lots of kids and I got to see some of the con. I even got to sing a couple of...
