Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Went to Pirate Feast. Played. Got tired. Got massaged. Played some more. Got to see silmaril's "that was a tricky tune but a fun one and I nailed it" smile. I like that smile. Got to play with anusara even though we were at opposite ends of the band-spot. Made someone blush. (She'd probably blush even more if she realized how much of what I said I actually meant -- she probably thought I was only saying it to make her blush.) Sliced my knee open while loading the car. Hung out with folks afterwards and watched an old episode of Buffy that I hadn't seen before on DVD and the most recent episode of Angel on VHS sitting next to Anusara, which was nice. I was kind of amused when she removed my thong. (She unlaced my shirt, you pervs!) Came home and spent an hour unloading the car, washing my feast gear, putting things away, moving stuff from my sporran back to my purse, etc. Now I have a glass of Skull Splitter (Scottish ale) in front of me, and a chance to sit and collect my thoughts on the day before I go to bed.

I got to see a bunch of folks I don't see often enough (they weren't all at Arisia), which was a very good thing even though I was busy most of the time.

Fortunately the weather never felt as cold as it was. I never put my coat on, though I certainly needed my gloves. I swear it felt like almost freezing when I left P.G. County at 2:00 AM, even though I know it was actually almost eight kelvins colder than that. (18F for folks who don't use a convenient temperature scale. :-P ) I expected to feel warm when I was playing. I didn't expect to not feel cold hours later.

(Hmm. "Almost [as warm as] freezing" sounds funny. Like I should have phrased it "almost melting". Except that I expect that to sound funny to everyone else. Does it?)

And now I think I'll let my mind wander and see whether my fingers can keep up with it.

My ale is gone, the tape I'm listening to is almost over, and I'm finally sleepy as well as tired, so it's off to bed for me.

And if anyone was actually wondering, I started "Butterfly" on the open B string instead of sliding up the B on the G string.
