Went out.

Joined autumnesquirrel to go to the polyboston get-together at Diesel. This was plan.

Nearly missed train; overheated and faintly ill-feeling. Made plans to meet up with teinedreugan when he was done playing cards.

Spent time on train watching my brain rattle. Nominally-productive results of brain rattling: theory about the inverse relationship of plot comprehensibility and soundtrack quality in serial anime. (Developed by listening to bits of ./hack//sign soundtrack in context of watching most of an episode of Wolf's Rain the other day.) Also, beginning of a Discordian divination system based loosely on tiddlywinks. Or pogs.

Met up with autumnesquirrel. Encountered random person on T who she knew (loosely affiliated with qarylla, meranthi, and thastygliax, apparently), who she asked if he was a Mike or a . . . um? Some other name. He was a Mike. We confused him moderately and made his life surreal.

There was a person in Park Street with hair the same colour as elfwreck's. Still a nice colour. (Makes a happy sound?)

Went to Diesel. Was very crowded. Ran into a few people I knew, including nex0s, once we emerged from the corner (I had a vanilla frappe and pita and hummus. jikharra should try vanilla frappe and hummus. Odd.). Found people handing out "Kerry is my hamster" flyers. None of them knew staralshain, but she was credited on the flyers.

feeling intermittently sick. Went outside for a bit, then into bookstore next door. teinedreugan thinks that this would be a dangerous bookstore for brooksmoses to visit. There were a number of people in the children's books section discussing death, meaning, and sociopaths, which was moderately confusing. It had a remarkable Egyptology section -- not much, but there was more Assman, Hornung, and Meeks than Budge. Picked up a Hornung book I didn't have and a book on Roma law.

teinedreugan picked me up and we gave autumnesquirrel a lift home/most of the way to where she was going. Then home and listening to the ballgame on the radio until we got home to put it on the telly.

I am the wrong temperature.

I am being credited in flyers by people I don't know? Cool. Yet very, very strange.
(Was this for the "Kerry is my Hamster" fundraising party thing, or something different?)

[kiya]

I got a flyer for you. :) Will try to remember to give it to you or kviri next I see you (probably some Games Night?).

It was for a fundraising party thing; I don't know if it's for the one I saw while flipping through friends-of-friends or a different one. (autumnesquirrel talked to them in more detail than I did, and might know better.)

Not much better. She didn't go into detail of what friends of friends they were, just that it was that sort of connection.

Which Mike was this?? Description? I know so many....

[autumnesquirrel.livejournal.com]

There was a Mike and a Dan and they lived together. They don't any more, but I still wasn't sure if it was a Mike or a Dan, though I guessed Mike.

[meranthi.livejournal.com]

As you know Dan since he gave you a ride home from Game Night last week...

Mike is my height and has dark hair and beard/mustache, yes?

[kiya]

Can't judge height; was sitting down at the time. Dark hair and face-fur, yes. Faintly bewildered air, but that might have been because he was near us. :}

[meranthi.livejournal.com]

*laugh* No, he's really just that bewildered...:)

I've been thinking about the anime soundtrack/comprehensibility thing, and in general it seems to work. However, there's always Boogiepop Phantom, where the soundtrack was, IIRC, "enh, nothing special" but the show was almost impossible.

Maybe they figure that nice music to listen to will prevent head-splodey as people watch the series?
