*waves* Survived!

I am back from Redemption :-)

... I have coughs and sneezes and I am cooooooold. And the thermometer says 37.6C which NHS direct says is a slightly not good temperature. Now I can sulk about being proper ill.

Is also probably why I had too much tired on Sunday night for long at the dead dog party. :-(

I did ask everyone what their favourite bit of the con was (and got them to write it down). Mostly they said bits I wasn't there for. So now I feel that there was another equally good convention this weekend that I did not attend.

I went to many many panels. All the book thread. Lots of talking about myth and alien defence organisations and many other things.
Me talking even, I stuck my hand up and made comments as appropriate.
I had awesomely talky weekend.

So of course part of the post con crash is me thinking OMG I was idiot out loud everyone secretly hates me.
*facepalm*

I did start a few comments "I am studying Doctor Who for my dissertation"
I realised that can sound like "You will respect my authority"
but I only meant "I may be boring about this. At some length. (sorry)"

trying to avoid talking discourses/ideology/Barthes etc etc, somehow not easy, even when I no remember to sound proper academic when doing actual academic works.



I read one of the Doctor Who academic books I'd brought with me and made a bunch of notes, so weekend was even productive too.
... I mostly had time to do that because had really vivid nightmare that woke me up at 0300 on Friday and breakfast didn't start until 0800, but hey, did plenty much reading.


My DW reading list is at skip 250. I have no idea about LJ. And there's 60+ emails in my inbox even after I weeded them.


Blergh, that's taken me a quarter hour to type, where's my brain at?

I'm going to sort out drink and contemplate eating and go to bed.




I already signed up for Redemption next time too. I even said I'd do panels cause I talked at almost every panel I went to this time.
And someone invited me to come be on panels about Doctor Who at their convention. I was like, *blinks*, bzuh? I sound like thinky person?
... I am unlikely to do that, because it is New and Different, but being asked is also New and interesting.



I'm tired and I ache. I'm going to go sulk about illness, biology, and the human condition.
