I just kinda realized today that I've missed half the summer! For the first time I haven't jumped into the pool as soon as they were opened and I haven't been insisting that we BBQ each night and I haven't gone out to catch lighting bugs or done much in my garden. I feel somewhat ashamed of this and I wonder when did I become such a fuddy duddy about this.  As my garden stands, the constant rains drowned most of my blooming flowers and my bulbs failed to show and the grass has rapidly taken over the plot. Our next door neighbor has been mowing in it and has killed nearly anything that was left alive and I can't decide whether or not to plant some flowers now and see what will happen.

Saturday I went with a group of people to see Serenity and had a pretty good time. I am still really freaked out when they kill Wash, I just *love* him so much and seeing him killed and seeing how his wife has to cope with it just nearly destroys me every single time I've seen it.  Before the show was a costume/look alike contest and I find it hilarious that Andrew won the male division and I won the female division.. I got a nifty sliver necklace that says Serenity in Chinese konji and and got a new LOUD "Hawaiian" shirt that says "Miranda" with a arrow pointing to a random planet on it. Which, ironically, points at ME when I'm on his left side. I had seen the shirt at CONflation at Curious Cat Clothing booth and had nearly bought it myself, but was beaten to it. Now it is  his, and I didn't have to pay for it!

Everyone is sleeping, but Cam and me. I was sleeping until the phone rang and now I just don't want to go back down since I still need to do stuff.

Today I wish I had had Herb to talk to. I had a very nice Chinese man in my dept trying to buy a clock. I'd never think that buying a clock would be difficult, but after reading the descriptions of what buying anything is like in China with people constantly in your face telling you, "You should buy this," I guess  I was a bit of a let down. But he kept miming something and it took me awhile to realize he wanted a plug in clock, but when I showed him them, he wanted one he could see without his glasses, and it was just a bad cycle all around, no regular clock was big enough and the big clocks took batteries and were very expensive. If Herb and DJ had been in the states, I would have called them to interpret for me. Sadly, my only knowledge of that language is "Thank you" Oh well.

Cameron's obsessed with Indiana Jones, telling other people to call him "Dr Jones" which is too funny cause he sounds like Short Round when he says it. He's got one of Andrew's hats and a length of rope as a whip and had been wearing button up shirts until he ran out of clean ones and he's insisting on a gun. I draw the line at the gun.

I am on season 8 of CSI. That show is so great! I've been told that after finishing that show to watch Numbers, which has Mr. Universe(Firefly) in it, who also looks damn close to my friend Keo.

Tonight I have the option of going to either karaoke or industrial punk/goth night. I dunno if I'll do either, but they both sound fun! I just wish I had a fishnet shirt. Maybe I have time to run by Hot Topic before I go....

So while this past Interfuse wasn't as great as the past couple of years,it was still a nice get-a-way kind of thing. Also fire! I got to light up and play with poi on fire and I came out pretty unharmed. (with as many times as I hit myself in the head I am glad I still have hair :P ) For the most part I want to start planning for next year and get out there on Thursday rather than Friday, oh and get there before dark so we don't have to put up the tent in the dark, again. Not that it's too difficult, but it's still a pain to do.
I laid out in the sun for a couple of hours and didn't do a thing to my skin and the next day walking around I got a nasty case of sun burn on my shoulders and nose, which looks really silly.
Anywho, I am hungry and must find small child to eat! mwahahahahaaha!!!!

Not too surprising because it is the middle of winter, but̬  I'm coldWork was fine ack......     gotta go. I'll write later.grrrr
