Recent past, telegraphic version

[mindstalk]

Haven't been posting much with all the traveling. Sister/Spokane for Christmas, Ohayocon (anime con) this past weekend. Highlights: photos of Spokane (now with captions) and Ohayocon. I got to help coach Jenny in driving, which is less frightening than it should sound at first. I only saw one episode of actual anime at the con, Hyper-Dolls, which sucked; Jenny and I fled the gratuitious fanservice and bad 1980s animation. I went to the dance/raves Friday and Saturday, trying to figure out (a) conventional dance and (b) conventional dance and mating protocols. (a) was perhaps somewhat successful. (b) was not, though a girl did grope my butt as she left. I did better just talking to people in line, though I still feel starved for sex in particular and human touch in general. The dance the first night didn't start until at least an hour late, among other chaos. You'd think a con which has been in the same hotel for 8 years would be more efficient. Yuri panels run by women are better than yuri panels run by men. Or at least those were. I told the story of the Collins Banshee in a ghost stories circle.
