So, yesterday was kind of horrible in some ways: I forgot my cell phone on the charger at home, had a migraine, was trapped in an interminable meeting at work listening to the most tedious discussion, suffered multiple computer crashes, and generally felt massively stressed. The cell phone and computer woes were of importance because I had no other way to get in touch with ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kinetikatrue and ciaan. In a last minute congruence, they needed a ride up to Baltimore to attend the Cobra Starship concert, and I didn't want to go alone. We had to finalize details, little things like time, exact location, and how to recognize each other, and there was, in Kat's words, massive communications fail before we finally were able to talk.

There's a bunch of fandom stuff I need to read once I have time. It seems like bandom has been beset by highs and lows over the past few days. I want to concentrate on the good, but I feel terrible for the bandfleshers who saw their community history destroyed. That nonsense is not on. In the spirit of cheer, I offer up Yogi the Dachshund, who is adorable.
Also, I have discovered the wonder of send@webtomail.co.cc You email that address with a website URL as the subject, and they mail you back with the page's content in a few minutes. Awesome for those times the evil overlords block access, especially when you always use the secured version of Gmail, say.
Shockingly, I made it into work only 15 minutes late this morning. I slept with a heating pad on my neck and it isn't even that sore. The three-day workshop of horror finished yesterday afternoon, so I was able to have a mostly relaxing day at the office.
My birthday is in one week, and it will suck, because it's on Thanksgiving this year. My sister, currently sunning herself at Club Med Bahamas with her beach social circle, is deserting us for Rehobeth, doubtless to be fêted on Friday (her birthday is on the 28th). Other friends will be out of town. Is there anyone who'll be around and like to get together over the long weekend to do something fun (for values of fun to be defined later)?
