@maloki any cats in them yet?

I ate an entire falafel wrap and answered a survey while in line for coffee.

They're hard to understand too, two very soft voices and inadequate use of the microphones.

I'm at the back of the room so I can't see the panel. Now I have to do with audio only which makes it hard to process. Also not as interesting as I hoped (lots of "this unlikely thing is also a portal fantasy" without any exploring as to why).

Hm, do I try for the fun panel (portal fantasy) or the instructive one (archaeology) or the useful one (literary blind spots)? Or do I assume I'll be too late for the 10am panel and aim at the 11am one that most interests me (lack of technological progress in fantasy)?

@edebill Wow yes!

Two teenagers next to me on the tram speaking Irish. Now I know where the Irish lilt comes from: speech melody was exactly the same as Irish people speaking English.

I have been initiated into the basics of Steven Universe.

@ak no, a woman possibly younger than them.

CCD staff (not Worldcon staff) person addresses two femme-presenting adults as "you girls". Hmph.

My feet hurt but if I sit on the floor I don't know if I'll be able to get up without being in people's way.

@edebill Ah right, that'll be the one we didn't get into. Went to the medieval combat demonstration instead which was very exciting and enlightening.

NetHack meet & greet. Fun!

@EdwardTorvalds I write important passwords in my paper notebook, in between other notes and usually encoded so they might just be anything (like writing notes or someone's phone number).

@EdwardTorvalds If my password manager doesn't remember, I just ask for a reset. For some websites that happens every time I use them.

@OldBrushNewPaper can we arrange to meet somewhere, since we don't seem to be running into each other?

@whyvoneenee oh right yes.

A hand reached out of the pond, grasping desperately.

It only occurred to me after I extended my hand to help that the pond was too shallow for anyone to be drowning in it.

And yet, out clambered a fine lady, dressed in lace and silk, oddly dry. Her hair was blue.

But so was mine.Dye exists.

"Sister!" she cried, embracing me.

I'd never met her before in my life.

But that's how I ended up with a refugee water spirit for a roommate.

@Crash I'm Orthodox. "And with your spirit."

Wow, that exploded. I wasn't even the first person to post it.
