Party Invitations

Ah, my life is back to strangeness. I have received an invitation to the big A list party for gays in Denver, Hellywood. Tim Gill is the big name in Denver's gay social scene from what I know. I say that because aside from occasionally being invited to his big parties I don't really know much about any of this. I just know Tim a little because once upon a time before he got busy founding Quark and becoming fantastically rich he was a member of DASFA. So I ran into him one time and struck up a conversation about the club and we met for lunch. And since then I've been invited occasionally to his parties and to see movies with him. Which I find strange since I'm not really cut out for that scene, I think.

Last year when I went to Hellywood I felt this intense attack of the shys, I found a empty room to go hide in with a drink for a while. Some other people showed up including one (Jon) who liked sci-fi. He was nice, but it didn't work out with us to be friends. (And he had later borrowed some of my clothes and never gave them back, bastard.)

There were way too many people for me and it was hard to talk to anyone. I don't know that I'll go this year. Edit For one thing I have to work the next day, for another it is not like going to a party, it is like going to a dance club. Nowhere to sit and talk, too loud for words, and I would feel uterly alone there. /edit It's kind of sad, like winning a prize that you can't use.

Hot Soup

I need hot and sour soup. I've decided that's about the only thing that will cure this horrible cough and sickness going on for me. I'll write something amusing later.

Thank all the Geek Gods

I feel atrocious today. Staying home has not helped yet. I've been resting and writing on and off all day, yet my cough and general feeling is getting worse. Maybe I should see a doctor, this would be my first time in over three years to feel bad enough to see a doctor for an illness. Thank all the geek gods that I decided to stay home today.

The Geek Gods
Great Google- The God of knowledge and mysterious pronouncements. He is the second brain for anyone wishing to know about pretty much anything.

Asphaltia- Goddess of Squat, find for us a parking spot. Not totally a geek god, as she's also prayed to by non-geeks. But she's very cool for anyone having to find a place to park a car near a convention.

Obscureius- God of quotes and strange references. Hates Great Ghoogle who makes it too easy to get his secret knowledge.

The Engineer- God of bloody-minded competence and those of the Jeremiah Johnson self-reliance mentality.
