tiredSunday held up quite well next to Saturday: Spent the morning assembling Monday's comic, then picked up
snottygrrl and went to the Open House at Rob and maryrobinette's place. Sno's much more gregarious than I am, so she'll strike up conversations with strangers. I exploit this by staying close to her so I can join in, instead of merely hovering on the fringes of the party and hoping that someone interesting will talk to me. In exchange, I provide her transportation. It's an agreeable symbiosis. After a couple hours of that, we headed out to BA's place for the annual Oscars Party. As always, there were food items representing each of the Best-Picture nominated films (complicated by the increase to 10 entries, but there was some judicious doubling-up). I particularly liked the "District 9" alien treats (not that I could eat them, but they looked great). I was pleased to win the prize for the most correct winner guesses (16 of 24 categories).
The only real downside of the afternoon was a combination of Bountiful Spring Pollen and seven hours of cat-inhabited areas. Even with antihistamines, I was congested and my lungs felt tight. Still, I survived and it wasn't enough to diminish the overall success of the weekend.
Next Weekend: Emerald City Comic Con!
