RID Conference

Last week I attended the conference of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf in Philadelphia. It was quite an experience, to say the least. I earned some CEUs, I crashed my car, I reconnected with people I haven’t seen in years…quite an experience! I was staying with friends in Northeast Philadelphia, which turned out [...]

Hi from Wildwood

Yikes, I haven’t posted in several days! On Tuesday I caught the hotel shuttle to the airport and took the R1 train downtown. I went to the National Museum of American Jewish History…or rather, I tried. The place won’t actually open till 2010, when they will move their collection into the new building. Meanwhile, all [...]

First Day in Philadelphia

I ended up with a surprise vacation! Last Thursday :A: said “I might have to go to training next week in Philadelphia, do you want to come too?” So I said yes! And now here I am at the Residence Inn Philadelphia Airport while :A: is in training next door at the Hilton, which didn’t [...]

So Much Lost

It is now 1:15am. I am finally back in bed. I had some…adventures. Much getting-lost and going-crazy ensued.

From Philadelphia

I made it uneventfully to Philadelphia – or rather Cherry Hill, NJ which is where they put me up for the night. I am going to leave in about an hour to head into the city and find the bar where tonight’s contest is being held. I got my scuba pictures developed! Unfortunately only 15 [...]

World Leather Weekend

Highlights of the weekend included working with fairerhiannon (a delight as always!), meeting worldwalkerdc (all too briefly), and giving dawnmarie727 her present (her reaction was awesome). Other happenings included buying an embroidered leathergirl t-shirt, trying on a couple of corsets and finding a 26″ fits quite well and a 24″ is not too far off [...]

Workshop Day 2: Protest

The morning started with me hitting snooze a time or two, and then when I got up I checked out of the hotel and brought my bags to my car. I got coffee at 7-11 and headed for the workshop. I was a block or two away when I noticed a few women standing around [...]

A Day of Sexuality

Helpfully bolded to make it easier for you to skip stuff!

I’m in Philadelphia

Today started out bright and early with a woot-off! Normally Woot has one item per day, but during a woot-off they post a new item as soon as the previous one sells out. I had actually dreamed about a woot-off last night (seriously) and I woke up this morning to find they were having one! [...]

Notes

My cholesterol, which had never been tested, was 169. So that’s good. I am considering attempting to make peace with this guy. I am not the grudge-holding type, and I could have used his help this coming weekend when I will be voice interpreting a leather contest alone. He has turned up on the BLeGIT [...]
