Ad Astra

Spent Saturday at Ad Astra - I'll prevail upon Himself to post some of the pictures he took of the Masquerade, which was well-run this year - the only delay was at the end, and was not the announcer's fault, and provided an opportunity for some dancing stagehand ninjas.

It seems most of the room parties were Friday night, and most of the panels we would have wanted to see are today, but the company was enjoyable. I learned of the existence of some web comics: Scatterplot, drawn by a guy who looks uncannily like Gemma Files, and Cat & Girl, featuring, among other absurd and obscure characters, Zombie Joseph Beuys.

We all Scream for I-cons

Copperbadge is making some free icons available. Handful-ofdust, there's a nice monkey one.

Sleepwalking

Himself claims that last night, he woke up and asked for something cold to drink, and that I got up and took a plate from the kitchen, showed him the pattern of crumbs upon it, and said, "this will help with the security system." The funny thing is I dimly recall this incident too - from my POV I kept trying to tell him something and he kept insisting it didn't make sense, but can no longer identify the underlying dream logic. What did I think the plate was?
