I caught up on reading Twitter. I caught up on reading Facebook. I transfered the pics from my camera memory cards to my computer. I was going to catch up on reading LJ. But it's too damn late. 2:00 am. I should be in bed.
I'll catch up tomorrow...
I may even post some pictures and tell y'all about my lovely evening. I walked down by the river & took pictures, then had a couple refreshing beverages at Pracna on Main, then went to see the AMAZING documentary "Prodigal Sons" at St. Anthony Main.
I'm tired now.
I'm going to be very stiff & achey tomorrow because while walking along by St. Anthony Main w/two hours to kill between work & the movie I decided to go check out the lower trail. I deny any rumor that says I ducked under a chain to get there... I just love that area down there where you can see old ruins and look up at the old buildings and see little branches from the river trickle by. I can't wait until it greens up this spring/summer! Anyway, my super out of shape self is already feeling the ache from climbing on uneven surfaces. It was worth it though. :)
And now, off too bed.

I am currently at work, on my lunch break. I am eating very delicious leftover steak & mashed potatoes with bacon & cheese! Yay! And where did this oh so yummy lunch come from? That's the best part!
They are my leftovers from an absolutely fabulous dinner with the lovely [livejournal.com profile] caoilainn!
She flew all teh way from Baltimore to Minneapolis JUST to meet ME! Yay! (Oh, alright. There may have been some work involved too...)
She was staying in one of the downtown hotels connected to our skyway system, so she was able to meet me for dinner without having to go outside!
(The Mpls skyway system:

We sat at the restaurant and talked and ate for a good two and a half hours and never ran out of things to say! [livejournal.com profile] felisblanco & [livejournal.com profile] tx_cronopio, we talked about you! Don't worry, all good! We have become more determined that we need to find a way to make IceCon work because we loves the Felis. And she says I need to meet Cronopio too because she's uber-cool!
We talked about conventions & Buffy fandom & pairings & dislike of pairing names & Wincest squicking us (although we read it anyway) but J2 RPS being completely believable & skyways & how cool downtown Minneapolis is & that she has to come back during summer months & I need to go out to Baltimore to visit her & speeding tickets we've gotten and not gotten & generic drugs & cool credit card holders from Target & DVDs I need to watch & Basilicas & cathedrals & Chicago & lots and lots of stuff! Yay!
Live Journal is a wonderous place because everyone here I've ever then met in real life has been so super cool & fabulous! I want to throw a HellCon and make everyone on my friends list all come to Minnesota at the same time (in summer of course!)

Sadness: lunch is over, steak is gone, can't type any more. :( I'll post more tonight, including a linkarific guide for [livejournal.com profile] caoilainn of things we talked about! Every time I get nervous about meeting an LJ person IRL, those fears are easy to set aside because the ratio of really cool (lots!) to psycho and/or scary (none!) keeps increasing.



And I REALLY need to make an "I love Mpls" type icon!

[profile] hellbob and I own several swords. We should start carrying them for protection!

Yes, there was someone attacked with a sword here in Mpls night before last. It was a guy defending himself against guys who broke into his apartment to rob him. 

The Strib had the most informative article of the ones I read: http://www.startribune.com/467/story/604366.html

And don't even get me started on the grammatical errors and just plain wrong words in the first few pages of the Kare 11 article! C'mon, you are writing what is essentially just a couple column inches and NO ONE proof reads it?
"It was just are 3:30 Wednesday morning"
"grabbed his roommates sword"  Does someone have an extra apostrophe, because there's one missing here!
"His feisty attack send the invaders running"
Really professional there, Kare11!


If you want to see pictures of the blood-spattered hallway walls (I don't believe any of the news organizations got inside the building) you can see them at http://www.birdchick.com/blog.html and http://www.councilofdoomtheatre.com/williamstiteler/2006/08/real-horror-show.html as well as get first person accounts of two building residents who didn't know what had happened until the following morning.
