on not being naked

Reading satan_dot_com makes me want to run out and take naked pictures of myself. Then I think, hey, remember when I was a freshman in college and that guy took naked pictures of me and tiggrrl together? Dammit, I wish I could get hold of those pictures. He never even developed them. Every time I asked, it was, "oh, the film's in my parents' basement, I'll go retrieve it ... some day...." I saw him at the reunion last May. I can't believe I forgot to needle him about the naked pix.

I gotta find out whether there's software for my digital camera that'll let it hook up to my Mac. My PC still refuses to cooperate. Now it'll boot, but as soon as I click on anything (like, say, to open an app), it freezes. Tres annoying. I'm thisclose to giving up and installing Linux on the damn thing. If only I can find a way to get the data off it first.

my holey luggage

Well, the guy at the repair shop took one look at my suitcase and pronounced it "damaged beyond repair." Ah well, I kind of figured that might happen (though I was holding out hope for him to say "no problem, that'll be ten bucks, pick it up tomorrow"). So now I have to figure out whether to a) take an extra piece of luggage, b) squeeze everything into my suitcase without using the outer pocket and deal, or c) borrow my mom's suitcase which is the same size but with a usable outer pocket. I want to go with (a) but it kind of depends on how much schlepping I'm going to do. Since my plane leaves at 8am it's going to be tough to convince anyone to drive me to the airport. (Well, unless that anyone is a taxi driver getting paid for it. )

I went to the chiropractor again today and she said I was doing better than I was on Wednesday. I sure *felt* better. I'll go at least twice more before I leave for Worldcon, so hopefully the eight hours on a plane won't be too horrible.

I forgot to mention in my mini-book-review post a few days ago that I also read Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams. It's non-fiction and very interesting, all about endangered species. As I keep saying, I gotta revamp my book-review webpage and add a bunch more books to it. Right now I'm partway into The Forge of God by Greg Bear, and it's very engaging thus far.

In other news, I watched a couple of "Sports Night" episodes (Comedy Central has started running them again) and rekindled my passion for the slashy goodness that is Dan/Casey. One of these months I'll actually write something with them ... maybe. Yeah, the same month that I write all the other zillions of things I have ideas for but no (or not enough) motivation.
