Capricon

Capricon was lots of fun. I have a few of the very cutest photos up on flickr already. I've just not been in a musical mood for some time now (and I've just been busy with other things, too), but we had some small open filk circles and I ended up contributing a good bit myself. I bought a few CDs, I've already found a few songs I really want to learn. One is very beautiful. Another, is, um, something else, but I have to learn it, too. There were lots of lovely concerts. There were Eric and Lizzie. There were small children so I could perform my role with them: Oh hai! I wound up your kid for you! 'K tnx bye! Cutest thing: Showing the not-nearly-so-tiny-anymore daughter of harperjen a photo of her when she was pretty much newborn. She said, "that's not me!" Another thing I noticed about the small children is, as they get less small, I can understand more of the actual words they are saying, but much of the time I still have no idea what they are talking about. Eventually people grow up and either grow out of that level of incomprehensible imagination, or else they don't and get jobs as software user interface designers (what the hell is this icon supposed to be???)

I took today off from work, and it's been nice sleeping in and then skiing and then speed skating, plus getting groceries and doing laundry.
