On a plain.

bmovie was very nice, thank you. I got there at 7:30pm and bluehelen kindly let me in to change out of my work clothes in the little boys' room. arkady got there at eight. We left about half past eleven, both utterly buggered; I think my brane was still work-fried and I remained incapable of conversation beyond the "buh. Day at work. Kill job. Gruh. Fancy you heaps. Fabulous breasts darling." level.

I communicated mostly via camera, getting about 1.2 gigabytes of shots. Nice photonerding with wechsler, who is having trouble getting his l33t EOS 350D to give as nice clubbing shots as an Ixus. I say what? He got what I expect will be nice shots of Arkady and I. I'm getting thinner — waist clincher up to sixth hole out of seven — but the exercise means I'm not scrawny with it. Which is nice.

I was particularly pleased to see spikeylady (who looked SO GORGEOUS), jozafeen (who really must write some of those tales up for anonymous publication), eyeliner297 (who was going for it with her own Ixus of Doom), _proserpina_ and littlelightbulb, webcowgirl (present in body, brain probably still on a plane above the Atlantic) and secretlondon (who arrived literally as I was leaving, dammit!). And I failed to recognise Pepsi in her blue makeup. How embarrassing. But I LOVES YOU ALL. Pics up this weekend I hope, though the web server is still in flux so expect hiccups later.

I got my driver's licence in the post this morning. FEAR ME. Today we have two house appointments.
