(no subject)

My cell phone apparently died sometime between when my alarm went off at 8 AM yesterday and when I got into my car to head home from Boston at 5:30. If you've called/texted me after roughly 8 AM yesterday, I haven't gotten it. I was looking at various pay-as-you-go services anyway, so I guess that it's time to do that more seriously and start handing out my Google Voice number.


Oh, and I realized upon reflection that my last post re: dinner plans could read as kinda p-a, which wasn't at all what I'd intended. Sorry about that. I'll admit that I was a little disappointed that I didn't have a chance to see anyone other than conference attendees, but given that I was still squishing around in wet shoes, low blood sugar appears to have been making me completely unable to make a simple decision like "what do I want to eat", and I'd been surrounded by 300 geeks in close quarters all day long, I was more than okay with staying in and lounging around. If I'd realized that my hotel was two blocks from Helmand though, I might've been more tempted to go back out.

OMG shoes!

Need crazy discounts on (theoretically, at least) comfortable women's shoes? Shoetrader is shutting down, um, tomorrow. They're offering an additional 60% off everything still in stock, although as you might imagine that stock is limited; go to the front page of the site and the discount code is there. There were a few pairs of Clarks that I saw, some Born in sizes that aren't mine, and several pairs of dancing shoes for those who might need such a thing.
