Hello and goodbye

[kitanzi]

aiela came down last Friday to visit for the weekend, so our home has been full of cuteness with her and ACat snuggling and making eyes at eachother and... stuff. *G* We did all manage to get out of the house to see the Bucket of Baby Panda at the Atlanta zoo (even cuter, believe it or not, and ACat has photos somewhere), and we also got her to come along to the Gafia housefilk at the Suttons Saturday night. This was the first housefilk she's been to, I believe, and she swears she had fun, so it's all good. I enjoy the housefilks for the socializing as much as for the music, but both were very good this month - I just wish we had the space to offer to host one ourselves.

For that matter, I wish we had more space period. It's a small apartment with no guest room, so poor Aiela and ACat wound up on a mattress in the middle of the living room. I feel like a bad hostess, but we can only offer what we have - at least there was a best quality bedwarmer on offer. *EG* (I go to bed much earlier than either of them, by natural inclination, or the practical solution would have been the bed for the couple, and I could have had the couch for a night or two. It might still be worth figuring out a way to make that practical in the future, but more and more I am fixed on the idea of I want a house, dammit, with at least one more room than we have. *sigh* Some day, damn right.)

So, there was time for us to all hang out together and plenty of time for the two of them, and it was a very good weekend. I really like her, and I was nearly as sorry as ACat when it was time for her to go home today, but whatcha gonna do - as I pointed out to ACat, getting to borrow her from (the mythical) davehogg includes an implicit promise to return her in a reasonable timeframe and in at least as good a condition as we got her in, no matter how much it sucks and whether I believe he really exists or not. No amount of tinkering seems to get that teleporter to work, alas.... I do so love poly when it's working. :)

Put me on that list for the transporter beam... you guys are one of the reasons I want it. (It seems we'll be fixing the distance problem for one set of folk soon, but I don't expect *everybody* to move to Seattle; we'll run out of room!)

But yay for sweeties getting along! And seconded on poly being The Best when it's working right...

Hey, if we could manage a practical and affordable teleporter, we could have a permanent floating con, I betcha! (Whether this would actually be a good idea I won't even speculate.)

ooooh, that could be dangerous. We'd need a serious SMOF or two to run that...

speaking of floating cons, if they ever actually organize anything resembling a bid, I'm throwing my lot behind Worldcon in Luna City in 2069... and if I live that long, I'm damn well going, even if I can't come home.
