Now that there has been a little bit of time I can talk about those things that happened this weekend that didn't revolve around Kiki.

Brian and I have long had plans to go to NYC with Dan and Mary Kate to see MAMMA MIA. Because the universe is generally a sadistic place this weekend was, of course, the same weekend Kiki fell ill. So we were understandably less than fully involved.

However, there was some good bits. We arrived at Dan and MK's Friday evening, but didn't leave for New York until Saturday morning. Still, we got there with time enough to visit the science museum. While the first section was a little disturbing because we were the only ones older than twelve in sight, it was still a lot of fun. Plus, there was a machine that mapped the features of a face and showed what people would look like if they were a different race. None of them looked particularly like me, but the Asian picture was cute.

We also had time to realize that Dan had left his dress shirt back in Albany. And Brian had left his entire suit. It was kind of funny in a really inconvenient way. Dan bought a new shirt and Brian went to the show in jeans.

And the show was good. It isn't going into my top three (which are Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, and Rent) but it was fun and kind 0of silly. Just wish I had been in a better mood to enjoy it.

Anyway, in non-weekendy news my friend Kyle has won some sort of poetry contest and invited me to the conference the award will be presented at with him this summer. It's in Florida, and I'm not sure that I'll be able to go since I'm also going to Worldcon this summer and money is a factor, but I'm happy that he won regardless.

And that's about it for me at the moment. More later. Bye, All!
