A Simple Way To Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work

But for now I am only 100000. (Last year I was 11111.)

Delightful things:

* The Hunt was fun but short, ending less than an hour after Saturday did. I personally performed about as well as I did last year, and I think our team kept up with its own record too. We had one painful bottleneck about 12 hours in that locked us out of the leader-pack, but still ended up placing about two-thirds of the way up, if I read the graph correctly. I liked the theme and how it was run.

* Chicken Heart suffered from some technical flubs and missed cues (grr), but otherwise beat its way into the hearts of a full-house crowd at Arisia yesterday. Afterwards I received, along with everyone else involved with Chicken Heart, an email from Kibo containing a Kibo-penned one-minute summary of the show in radio play format. It's been years since I regularly read a.r.k but I couldn't help but thrill at this. You can take the jmac out of the fanboy, but you can't wait that's terrible.

* Received a delightful gift from jadelennox. Monkeys were involved.

* I was happy that I got to celebrate the last day of my 2000 Maine driver's license's validity by renting a Zipcar to help shuttle hunters and their stuff around after we struck the set. But now I can't drive at all anymore, and will have to go subject myself to the Mass RMV system once again, despite my no longer owning an MV to R.

The old man turned 75 today. We shared some wine upon a frozen New Hampshire beach this evening. And he made me take shome an enormous spice cake that he made, as well as new space heater (in giftwrap) that he bought for me, for that is his nature.
