Sniff

Some part of my body seems to know that my age has incremented, anyway. I now officially have two rogue nosehair generation units in Nostril Right, where before, for years, I had but one; each very rapidly makes a nice, thick, red hair that grows straight down. Perhaps only I can see these, but seeing them makes me say "foo", and I always first notice them when not near a hair-trimming engine.

Nostril Left, in a bold statement of accentuating form with function, especially given current market conditions, has simultaneously begun production of ice-clear hair tuftlets, the likes of which I have never before seen anywhere on my head. It's iNosehair. I don't understand it at all and shave it off just the same.

I can't believe Arisia is tomorrow. I admit to feeling a bit of trepidation, like I'm severely underprepared. Only a bit, since there's nothing for me to prepare, in reality, aside from following the orders of Fearless Warren Leader Cthulhia (this is not to imply that the boston-warren has just one Fearless Leader, if indeed it has any at all, but for all things relating to Boston cons she nonetheless fills the role very nicely).

The major similarity between this year and last year will be seeing my hero (even though I haven't communicated with him in, er, a year) Zarf again, and playing many many many games with he and many many other people, spreading the good Looney Lab news to all who will listen. The major difference is that I'll be there for all three days, I'll know people besides cthulhia (who herself is also a new person of a sort, in that she is a closer friend now to me than she was even just a year ago, when I, a trembling newbie to this whole area, spent the con clinging to her like a scared baby monkey), several friends from outside the boston-warren or either of the Circle Js will be in attendance, and I may actually attend some of the convention stuff outside of the gaming. Wow.

I'm still telling myself I'll be able to get some book-work in. Uh-huh.
