Scary quantities of flist to read this morning. (Two chapters of The Quality Of Mercy! Internet, you spoil me.) Would be v. nice to LJ at weekends too; this calls for a} a house, b} a computer, c} broadband, preferrably.
a} is looking promising, but of course when I get it there may be a certain amount of being sidetracked into getting inessentials like chairs, bookshelves, bed, that sort of tosh, before I can afford b} or c}.

hashafpmeet on Saturday was fun, although I spent a large proportion of it sending out waves of dullness. You know when you listen to yourself and just go "Self, that was the most boring thing anyone has ever said, shut up now?" Maybe you don't. Maybe it's just me, and now the world knows my tragic character flaw. [1] Maybe this is a boring thing to be talking about... anyway, re-met a couple of people and met many others, watched a lot of people playing pool, ate chocolate, listened-in on much geekery, had to leave early due to rubbishness of trains, was not murdered with axe (despite the pub having a borrowable Viking helmet behind the bar. You knew it was a Viking helmet by the horns, of course.)
Still finding that the walk to work in the morning cheers me up. Very odd. Fresh air must contribute to release of endorphins or something. Or it could be the lack of hordes of tourists getting in. My. WAY!!!, as found in the Great Wen.

[1] As tragic character flaws go, I guess it could be worse. The punishment for hubris tends to be the gods cursing you to madness and death. For dullness, I might be fated to become a librarian or something...
