I had a really relaxed morning, dozed a little after breakfast, then said hello to a zillion people, ran into my friend from techie conferences D. who it turns out has taken down her thinky sort of blog and who is the mastermind behind Feminist Ryan Gosling. ahahahah. I imagine it is bittersweet to be famous for that but on the other hand everyone ADORES it. As do I! I went and got some shampoo (and some tiny 50 cent disco balls...) at the drugstore, ran into tons more people, got my head shaved nicely on the sides (for incredibly cheap) and then crashed debbie and laurel's lunch. (Laurel who wrote Growing Wings.) We talked about kids and personalities and mothers and so on. and science fiction and the singularity and my new Fabulous Theory of Everything about which I will say more later! They had good ideas! I found myself saying much more intelligent things than I expected or than I had written yet (as sometimes happens). I hope I can remember whatever it was or recreate it. Right now am too tired.

Zoomed into the art show (too early... mistakenly) Greeting behaviors with another 100 people. I am now holed up in bed again with a cookie and some tea and will play Glitch for at least an hour before venturing forth. Two hours would be better... maybe a nap.

I am on a panel tonight which will be recs of books by women writers -- 9pm.
