Today has been somewhat bizarre. Beka and I went to go see if there was anything Best Buy could do about my computer, and Jae came along so she could get some food with us. And... turned out we'd have to send the laptop out to get it fixed, and Jae, hearing that, decided to call and see if there was anything Tim could do to at least get some stuff off my hard drive before the laptop got sent away. Tim being... Tamora Pierce's spouse-creature.

So we abruptly decided to take a trip to Syracuse. There was a trip to the Best Buy up there, as Tim tried to see what he could work out, and there wasn't really anything to be done there either, but I at least got loaned a spare laptop to use until Gwen returns. And I got to meet Tammy's amazing herd of cats, and we watched Dr. Horrible with her and sang along and wow, today has been interesting.

The drive up to Syracuse was awesome, because there was the sunset and awesome storm clouds the color of a battleship and mountains and autumn and everything and it was just gorgeous. I kind of thought we might die on the way back, but (obviously) we did not.

I just may have to crash very soon, because I am exhausted. In a good way, though. Tomorrow, we acquire a storage unit so we can get rid of the trailer until we know where we're living - we may actually be looking for a place to stay in Syracuse temporarily until the college students in Ithaca move out for the semester and GIVE US SOMEWHERE TO LIVE.

...but there's ridiculous anime on and I don't want to go to sleep yet. Damn it.

love your LOLcat icon.

and congrats on all the good things.

(and sorry about not being able to sleep - I know how that is; sympathies and commisserations, my friend)

ps: I am very glad you (and the others) did not die en route or anywhere else.

OMG TIM AND TAMORA. I AM SO JEALOUS (Even if Tamora wasn't actually there).

She was there, actually. She's the one who introduced me to all the cats. And she sang Captain Hammer's part when we watched Dr. Horrible. ^^ They are both the SWEETEST people.

....yeah, even more jealous. just saying. lol.

I kinda fail at meeting her, every time she does something in the city, I don't find out about it until after the fact.

That is sad. :( I managed to get to a reading/signing thing of hers earlier this year in Pasadena, and she is HILARIOUS at those.

I am in awe that you've met Tamora Pierce. I loved the Alanna books.
